Skyline Lodge

Convenient location near Highlands and Cashiers, providing easy access to downtown and nature spots. Friendly and attentive staff ensure a memorable and enjoyable stay.

4 Star??? Felt like an old time-share unit. The adjoining door to room next door was NOT LOCKED. Toilet paper holder broken. $400+ a night

Quaint spot about 10 minutes out of town with a lot of potential. However, our room in particular was a little rough (111). After looking at reviews of the lodge, I know to ask for an updated room and the front desk clerk assured us we were on the updated side of the building on arrival. I do not know how to describe the smell of the room exactly, but it was musty/strong/bad. I did not immediately ask for a room change because of figured maybe this was common across the rooms in an older hotel… There was an air purifier in there that my husband turned up and personally washed the filter. There was also a dehumidifier running, as well as AC. We opened the windows while we could, pumped up the air purifier, and thought maybe we got ahead by the following morning. I mentioned this to the front desk clerk who seemed surprised we noted a smell. But when we got back to the room after a morning of adventures out and about, the stench was back. We packed up and left that night (foregoing the 2nd night stay) as I felt I would sleep better at home. I was even more disappointed when after doing some online searching that this exact room had a similar poor review that management responded to in April. Clearly no changes had been made. For 300$ plus a night for a room, we shouldn’t have to spend the stay trying to air it out. I have no idea if the other rooms had similar issues.
