"Very very nice"

The Skyline Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The receptionist recognized that we were senior citizens and gave us a room very close to the office and parking lot. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the bedroom and enjoyed the separate area for the closet and dressing. The shower was wonderful. We enjoyed a pleasant evening sitting on the large outdoor area. We were disappointed that we couldn't access YouTube and Netflix."

Kingwood Resort

"The room was spacious, water pressure was excellent, plenty of parking, and overall a very quiet property. The staff was superb!

"Far and away the nicest Hampton Inn I have ever been in. Being close to the Highlands is definitely a plus the room was very nice and was equipped with a microwave and as a refrigerator. Modern design with a very nice bathroom. They have a regular elaborate morning breakfast that I think goes till 10 but I did not partake 24 hour coffee station and small things of that nature are helpful.
