The Hillside Hotel

Very very basic

The sheets were visibly stained, but felt clean. No other issues with cleanliness, but the toilet would run sporadically, necessitating manually shutting off the water to it. I checked in well after dark, and was dismayed to find that the lobby was closed and locked. When I found the window, I had to call for assistance and wait in the cold and windy night. Parking is adequate, but the markings are not clearly visible in the dark. Given the facility's obvious age, I was pleasantly surprised at the modern proximity key for the door. There was plenty of space for me, but the room would have been crowded with another adult and even one small child. The bed area warmed adequately in a reasonable amount of time, but even when I set the temperature higher in the morning, the bathroom remained uncomfortably cold. The minifridge kept my food cold, but the excessive frost on the open freezer compar**ent took up a lot of space.

Although we stayed for one day, it was a memorable one for us. Location of the property is excellent! The Hillside provided the room that was upscale and hygienic. Staff was courteous! we would definitely make a comeback, probably in the month of may, 2023!

The surrounding of this place is amazing. Quick and efficient departure, friendly front desk, cozy room, outstanding bed, clean bathroom. Easy check-in and checkout processes contributed to the seamless stay. I highly recommend it for a memorable getaway.

The room was clean and nice. The water wouldn’t get hot. Finally after running it for 5 minutes, And couldn’t get the tv to turn on. Would stay again, The manager showed us the room before we checked in.

With a little maintenance this place could have been so much better. A fully made bed would have been nice. Did not meet any staff ,did communicate with manager communication was great.

There was no hot water in two of the three rooms we reserved. Towels and sheets were ancient such that maybe they were clean but they did not look it. My room had toiletries left over from the previous resident. Key return was not secure so anyone could have gone into our rooms after we left.

We arrived at 9:00 PM and there was nobody at the office to let us into our room. There was a number to call but all we could do was leave a voicemail. We never received a call back, even the next day. We had to drive another 40 minutes to another hotel. Also note that it is listed as being 1.6 miles from Harper’s Ferry. Possibly as the crow flies but it was a 35 minute drive.

2 Star accommodation but price is fair for the area. It's real close to the C&O Canal and Harpers Ferry, and plenty of space for cars, trucks, and bikes for each unit. Beds and drawers are spacious and A/C&Heating unit always worked fantastically. Mini fridge and microwave is OK and always worked. They're college dorm size but you won't be making complex meals while staying here... For around the area, there's not much but there is a gas station/convenience store right across the street with some hot food and useful household items. And it sits right next to a great Bar&Grill. Though make sure to stock up on the goodies cause there's nothing else around or open after 9pm, unless you go east towards Brunswick. Oh, and a liquor store right next door to the property which has some great stock! Downsides are that your unit may have broken furniture and/or dead bugs to clean up on arrival. You also might need to escort some crickets out of the room, unless you really enjoy their nightly songs. Provided hand/bath towels are clean but clearly old and a bit cheap. I would bring my own if possible or buy some decently better cheap ones at a store on the way. But again, 2 star motel in a rural area of MD. It's not bad at all, and I'll probably stay here again! Friendly staff as well.
