All Good, Will Be Back

Was exactly what I needed for a solo bday trip to the area. Minimal, friendly, clean. Didn’t mind that it’s obvious the place has been there a while. The parking lot has a huge pothole, which isn’t great. Just drive around it and be grateful for the great price and nature at your doorstep.

We used the Hillside before and after taking the MARC train from Brunswick, MD, to Washington, DC, for a few days. It was also our base for exploring Harpers Ferry. It is a simple, clean, and convenient property. Check-in was quick. The A/C was quiet and efficient. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the covered porch.

Good enough for the price and the novelty of it.

The room was small and in disrepair. It was still safe, clean, working facilities and free of bugs. Parking was a bit confusing but all in all it was okay. We just need a place to sleep while traveling this worked out. If you're a fan of The Blair Witch Project movie - part was filmed here. So, thats kinda cool.

Run down stay away

The room itself was somewhat clean, quiet and comfortable. But the hotel was rundown, looked like the grass hasn’t been cut for months and there was no breakfast room, they lied about that on their website. They were using the previous owners webpage, the knights inn, pictures. It’s not what it looked like when we got there. The towels had stains and the sink faucet wasn’t bolted down. You had to hold down the faucet just to turn it on. No pride in ownership. We will never stay there again.

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.

The price was low but the rooms were in terrible disrepair. There was a hole punched in one of the walls, duct tape on the bathroom door, tape wrapped around the bath faucet and the room was really dirty. The AC worked well and the sheets were clean and that was all I needed. I’m an Appalachian Trail thru hiker so I’m used to not so clean accommodations so it didn’t bother me so much but I would imagine it would have been unacceptable for most guests. The first room I was shown smelled bad and I thought it would clear up with some time with the AC on but sadly it did not and I asked to change rooms. The staff was very accommodating.

Oh. My. The WORST place I've ever stayed. All of this is true: 1. hair in the sink 2. balled up, filthy washcloths shoved into the AC unit 3. stains all over the walls 4. putrid cigarette smell 5. holes in the bathroom door 6. a live-in neighbor who banged on the wall and screamed the second I got in the room 7. a stinkbug infestation in the curtains and under the bedskirt 8. drunk live-in neighbors who chain-smoked I just left at 11:45pm and got another place. This place should be condemned.
