Excellent location and amenities at this beautiful hotel! Rooms are chic and cute, large king beds with modern luxury, gives you a feel of a boutique hotel. Wound insulation was excellent, so was the hot water pressure. Dual access for lower bedrooms to the parking lot and the hallway was very convenient. Fire pits were a nice added touch.

When arriving the exterior looked nice as well as the lobby. Check in as a breeze and the staff was very nice. That is where nice ended though. The room completely sucked! We had a large suite that was literally not equipped with anything. Two paper cups for the whole room. The fridge would not go below 45 with is not good safe. The room looked like they spent as little money possibly on the remodel and was not up to Marriott standards at all! I have stayed in Marriott’s in shady parts of town off the interstate that put this place to shame. The absolute worst was the bathroom. I’ve seen nicer bathrooms at campgrounds, it was totally unacceptable for such a price and nice area.

We recently stayed at Trailborn Highlands for my birthday weekend and had a mixed but mostly positive experience. Before we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating.

Regarding our dog, we had been told he’d have everything he needed, which led us to believe there might be bowls or

Excellent!! We ended up extending our stay an additional night after such a warm welcome and wonderful first impressions.||||The front desk staff was incredible—so welcoming, informative, and genuinely friendly. We booked last minute, and I always look for Marriott options in the area, so I was excited to find Trailborn in the Highlands.||||The vibe is fantastic, and the furnishings (literally floor to ceiling) are so thoughtfully done. We stayed in a room with a fireplace the first night and a balcony the second night—both were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed.||||The market was also really nice with a great selection. The best part, though, was the Nordic sauna—such a cool experience. And the coffee and banana bread in the morning was the cherry on top.||||We’ll absolutely be back
