Quick Verdict: The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa vs Highland Lake Inn & Resort

When The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa wins: choose the Omni for scale and variety — 513 rooms across three wings, 11 on-site dining outlets, a 43,000-sq‑ft subterranean spa (18+ access), an 18‑hole Donald Ross golf course, and a broad slate of activities and meeting/wedding spaces.

When Highland Lake Inn & Resort wins: choose Highland Lake Inn for a smaller, more intimate lake-area base in Flat Rock with direct access to boating, canoeing and fishing on the property, complimentary breakfast, free parking and a quieter neighborhood setting near The Park at Flat Rock and the Carl Sandburg Home.
