Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good
"I enjoyed my stay. The only issue I felt should be mentioned is the walkway that leads up to the Supper Club. It’s a loose stone walkway that is poorly lit and if try to navigate it after few drinks you could easily fall. They should work on improving that before someone gets seriously hurt."
