Negative Reviews
negative:
Loud, lively area
Since the hotel is located in a busy area of the city, there can be a significant amount of noise well into the night. If you are looking for something that is close to the action, this probably won't bother you. Those who want a quiet getaway, however, might not enjoy the bustle of the city.
negative:
Mixed opinions on breakfast
Some past guests have thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast that is included when staying at The Highland. Others, however, have complained about the quality of the food, the location of the breakfast, since it's served in the basement, and the temperature of the servings.
negative:
Limited parking at hotel
While the hotel offers free parking to its guests, you might end up having to find your own parking spot if you arrive late or if the hotel is busy, as only limited spots are available. If you are forced to park away from the hotel, you will have to pay for it.
