"Place was uniquely, clean and furnished and one of the better hotel rooms I’ve had in a long time the amenities and the staff were very polite and professional. Had a great one night day."

"The room was clean and staff was helpful. The room itself was nice, but definitely got warm at night. Unfortunately the fan itself made a lot of noise at night. We tried opening the window at night, but it was quite noisy. Overall, the hotel was in a very nice and convenient location. "

"AMAZING views and even better location. Staff was super helpful and accommodating and the valet was very quick!!!"

"We loved our stay at the Highlands. Fireplaces in room were a nice touch and overall room sizes were large. Would come back again!"

"Incredible place to stay in the heart of downtown. Would definitely come back next time. "

"The hotel itself was beautiful and had a relaxing atmosphere, especially the outdoor fire pit area with a great view. However, there were several disappointing aspects during our stay. Self-parking was extremely expensive at $56 per night, which felt excessive. There was also no bell service available to help with luggage, making check-in and unloading difficult. I was surprised that the sauna required an additional $20 per person to use, considering amenities like this are often included at hotels in this price range. The toiletries were also not great — the shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling very dry afterward. One of the biggest letdowns was the outdoor seating area by the fire pit. While the setting was beautiful, the chairs and pillows were noticeably dirty with bird droppings, which made it hard to fully enjoy the space. Overall, the property has potential, but better cleanliness, included amenities, and improved guest services would make a huge difference."

"Check in was easy and the staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Son enjoyed the pool which was nice after long days at Laguna Seca. Close enough to fast food restaurants and grocery stores including some fantastic donuts at Monterey Donuts. Also being an easy drive to and from Laguna was great. If we are able to make the trip again next year we will strongly consider using El Castell again"
