The Highlander0

The Highlander is an absolutely gorgeous new hotel that is located across the street from the campus of Radford University. It’s so brand new that its officially grand opening was the day after our stay. We be liked everything about our stay. After a bit of a snafu with our room, which the staff expeditiously corrected, everything was delightful. Everyone was so gracious! Dinner at Bee and Butter, the rooftop restaurant, was delicious and service was impeccable. The views from our table were breathtaking! Our room was lovely - clean and comfortable. Rating - 12 out of 10. We’d definitely stay again!

the room was very nice. Loved the roof top restaurant and bar! we were in town for a high school graduation. Some family joined up on the roof too gathering, which was perfect!

Breakfast options. For people who like plain options (scrambled eggs, toast, bacon) those were not available. The options were prepared ahead of time. These options included sandwiches with ingredients that we would have removed, but that wasn’t an option. If you didn’t like Aioli too bad! This was my only complaint. I preferred the chain hotels who provide breakfast of pastries, scrambled eggs, toast, biscuits.

I liked that it was new and everything was clean and new. The price was also great as the other nearby hotels were outrageous. I ended up in Radford University area to pick up my kid at VT in Blacksburg. But all the hotels in Blacksburg was so expensive and not worth that price for the quality of the hotel. It was 20 min drive from Blacksburg but it was worth it to save the money. The room was super new and clean and loved the floor to ceiling window.

It did not have slippers and I don't like to walk around with my shoes so it would have been nice to have the slippers. Also the fan in the room was so loud that when I went to sleep I turned it off. There wasn't an option to have the A/C as auto and Fan Off. It may have been user error on my part but I could not get the fan to turn off because it was so loud.

Brand new hotel. Very nice, excellent location, good staff. Redford had only a few mid to low level hotels not near the campus. The Highlander is exceptionally nice. Beautiful interior art work, restaurants and great rooms. A complete upgrade for the Redford area. Staff was excellent and attentive. It looks directly onto the campus. Highly recommended, even if you’re just passing through.

Beautiful new, clean and loved the decor. Fantastic cold AC in the room. Everything was fresh and clean! Also had a cute bistro/coffee shop in lobby. Had my son buy me a latte while I got ready to leave and it was delicious! I also appreciated the parking and how it was set up.

Well it was fine for me (I’m 5’7”) but the shower head may be too low for those over 6’. Again perfect for me!

Love the blue walls. Extra towels & Extra pillows. Great flooring - not all carpet. Beautiful bath, with a soaking tub. Comfortable bed. Stylish, with a touch of plaid. Nice rooftop deck. It's a very nice hotel.

The automated nightlights, at the bottoms of the beds, are a great idea. The light is too bright, and they go off occasionally on their own. Need some work. Our room had a view of enclosed roof.

The room and the hallways/lobby were all very clean and smelled wonderful. The front desk staff was *amazing* - so friendly and helpful. They remembered small details about us that made for a great personal touch. Overall a really great experience.

Prior to our arrival I tried to call several times but the calls went unanswered and there was no voicemail to leave a message.

The hotel was very clean. The staff were friendly. Location was great.

The food, sold at the coffee bar, was not good at all. They were short staffed. It looked like a couple managers tried to help out, but didn’t really know what they were doing.

The restaurant was excellent- beautiful views and the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever had! The gym was great and the rooms were clean and spacious.

The sliding door to the bathroom slams shut pretty quickly which I think could be a hazard for small kids. I almost smashed my fingers between the door frame and door. That’s the only thing I would change.

Great location across from the University with cozy rooftop lounge and great views. Nice rooms with comfortable beds and well-designed bathrooms. Loved that a hotel finally has handheld steamers! And grab yourself a thistle blanket. Super soft and warm.

only downside was no shelf next to bed in room with two queens to sit your phone on when charging.
