Superb

Don’t set your expectations too...

Liked: The decor and style of the hotel were nice. Beds were comfortable. Pool was very spacious.
Disliked: Where do I begin? We had a poor experience at the restaurant and received cold chicken wings. They kicked us out of the pool for maintenance. The jacuzzi hot tub was closed which was why we booked this hotel. The bar by the pool was closed even though hours posted showed it should be open. Seemed like the place was running low on staff. Breakfast was the worst hotel breakfast we have ever seen. It was described as a buffet style breakfast and yet there were only two options. Egg casserole and yogurt…. Not even cereal or toast were available. Also the coffee was out. When we read about this place online, we were really excited. In the end, we feel like we got way less than we expected.

Exceptional

Liked: The whole thing but the bed was great
Disliked: N/a

A cool place to go...

Liked: I enjoy everything, friendly staff, especially Mich, breakfast was good, with multiple options.Nice view from my room, I wish I had time to jump into the swimming pool, and more likely, the quietness of the whole area, I have been in different hotels in the USA, I know what I experienced at Highlander.Bref, I will go again and I will recommend anyone else.KEEP THE GOOD JOB
Disliked: Inform guests about the free city bus to Iowa downtown.The string that holds the key for the room, hard to remove hahah

We have been here before,...

Liked: The location is excellent, since most members of our party were arriving on the interstate via car. The meeting and conversation area options are great, allowing for good get togethers.
Disliked: The breakfast could have used more variety. For example: the keto members of our party couldn't eat the eggs, because they had potatoes in them. (Perhaps separate egg, meat and potato options?)
