We stayed 1 night for a birthday celebration. Furnishings in room a bit tired, Bed very soft, Newly remodeled bathroom w/walk-in shower and heated floors. Food at restaurant Madison good. Hotel staff and wait staff at restaurant good. The hotel had numerous trainee staff working w/regulars to learn the ropes.

Thank you so much to the GM and staff of the Old Edward Inn for making my birthday extra special. We were offered a complimentary mimosa upon arrival as we waited for our room to be ready. The room (Lee King Suite) exceeded our expectations. It was so cozy with a fireplace, fridge, heated floors and towel rack in the bathroom with every other possible amenity. The shower was great and complimentary Dove ice cream bar was a special treat. The location of the room was perfect as it was in the Lodge building overlooking the fire pit. It was quiet but, also close to everything. We can't wait to return when it is warmer and more of the restaurants in town are open.

My stay at Old Edwards Inn was truly exceptional from start to finish. The property is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and full of charm, and the service consistently exceeded expectations. Every staff member I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing a high-quality guest experience. From check-in to departure, I felt welcomed and well cared for. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed, and the overall atmosphere of the Inn is both relaxing and refined. The dining and amenities were equally impressive, and the location in Highlands is ideal for a peaceful and upscale mountain retreat. I would highly recommend Old Edwards Inn to anyone seeking outstanding service, elegant surroundings, and a memorable stay. I look forward to returning.
