Very beautiful property within walking distance of downtown Highlands. This is a special hotel with a modern/eclectic and eco friendly feel. Only downfall was they promised coffee and pastries for breakfast, and all that was on the buffet was one plate with a few slices of banana bread. Loved the breakfast/gathering room.

Super nice staff! The room was comfortable. We had our pup with us and they had water and food bowls in the room and on the patio! It was a nice touch:) I also liked that the shower had a pull down wand if we wanted to bathe our pup. The only down side was no hanging space for clothes. There were 4 pegs to hang things. There was no luggage holder to put your suitcase on. Otherwise, it was really nice.

Beautiful room, but heating system thermostat did nor work. Set it at 69 and went to dinner, came back and the room was 85 at least and the heat still coming out. Complained at the desk, apparently noone on duty to reapair, Was offered another room but it was easier to open the balcony door, and shut the system off.

This property is way overpriced for what you get. This is an old Hampton Inn with fresh paint. The Trailborn Group model seems to be to purchase older hotels in great locations, paint them and charge the traveler double the market price. I am convinced that many of the reviews are fake. I have never seen so many 10/10 reviews before let alone for such an average offering. At least Hampton Inn offered a basic hot breakfast! Don't be a victim of this pump and dump scheme by a group of Ivy League ex bankers.

Wonderful stay!

Everything about Trailborn was wonderful! The staff were kind and helpful, the room and the decor all around are earthy and natural, and I love that they use Grown Alchemist products. The fire pit was so nice to sit around and they're justice playing through out, as well as radios in the room. They're is a light breakfast with granolas, fruit, cereal, and yogurt. We didn't dine at the Supper Club behind the hotel, but we tried their biscuits and had a cocktail and it was great! There are also cute bikes available to ride but we did not get the chance this time. Trailborn is a beautiful hidden gem, and we can't wait to come back and to also try the other locations out west.
