My wife and I almost always stay in suite hotels as there is almost always a small living room and separate bedroom, each with tv's, as she likes to watch tv and I hate it. So at the Highlander, we got the suite, room 501, a couple of days ago. Very large "living room", which is at the corner, and has floor to ceiling windows all around the outside. Floor to ceiling windows the entire width of the bedroom, too. While not exactly a Central Park view, the view of Radford is still interesting. There were some quirks, though. The bar opens at 6:30 in the morning, but it closes at 9 at night. I suspect that has something to do with being across from campus. There was also no TV in the bedroom, and I suspect that has something to do with not impeding the floor to ceiling windows. And there is a dining room table that seats 6, but no kitchen, although there are empty kitchen cabinets above and below the coffee station. There was seating for 4 to watch the ginormous TV. All a bit odd for a room with one king bed. But except for the lack of a TV in the bedroom, none of it adversely affected our stay. I don't know what the regular rooms are like, but if you could swing another hundred bucks or so, I would highly recommend upgrading. And we recommend this hotel overall. It was very clean (almost new) and the staff we encountered was very nice and competent.

The hotel manager flat out lied to me about several things. He charged my card when he shouldn't have. He is stereotyped and assumed I couldn't pay for it I guess bc he said to me several times "do you have the money or not" I explained yes I'll pay but the extra $400 on my bill doesn't add up. Just please explain.. he stated it was his hotel and he was part owner and he didn't have to explain it to little ole me.. then he called the police and ask them to arrest me if I iddnt pay for the additional fees even though I had proof of my reservation with different price.. the worst unprofessional person I've ever dealt with in a professional environment. It looks very nice but I don't think they do a lot of business so they get extras when they can. The guys attitude there is by far the worse I've ever seen. He was so rude and lies so much. He printed out 3 different prices to the police but I only received one confirmation and it was a different price. I've never witnessed anything like this in my entire life .

The room was spacious, beautiful & had everything you need to make you feel comfortable with lots of outlets for your electronics..bed & pillows were just right for a great night sleep with motion lights on bottom of beds to light your way around the room..bathroom was huge with a very large shower, makeup lights, nice towels..even had a steamer for your clothes..with 2 restaurants.. we only ate at the top one for dinner reasonable prices for delicious food..only had coffee at the other..we enjoyed how quite it was in our room no noise from other rooms nor outside traffic..would definitely stay there again
