We payed for the room on the app. However after checking into the room we left. Went down the street and purchased another room. I have stayed in horrible places before but this beats anything i have ever seen.

Hillside is convenient to Harper's Ferry and inexpensive.. A little beat up but clean and safe.. If you are looking for a no frills place to sleep and a hot shower after a long day at Harper's Ferry it's perfect..

The room was cheap and clean. But very damp. The motel is next to a liquor store, and not much else.

Very nice and friendly staff, very accommodating but the bathroom was never cleaned after previous guest left. I found hairs on the blanket. Microwave was broken.

The only thing that was cheap with this motel was the price. Everything else was above average. I recommand it.

Pictures on their website or yours via your link to whatever are either very old or somewhere else. They show a nice breakfast hall and really nice rooms. Nothing in the photos exist. I stayed somewhere else and just forfeited the money.

The pics were misleading. It looked like it would be a lot more updated.
The room wasn't very clean. There were mouse droppings on the floor. Only a very thin blanket was provided. The room was freezing even with the heat cranked up to high. Honestly overpriced. My partner and I would have gone elsewhere, but no place else was available

First, our fault for not reading all the reviews. Only saving grace is the liquor store steps away so you can drink yourself to sleep. However, this place is an absolute dump. I don't think the rooms, besides changing our bedding, are ever done. The floors are sticky, walls are moldy in the bathrooms, and the outlets are a fire hazard. I don't know who was using the lamp shades and curtains as napkins, but it is gross. Have some self respect and at least clean. This is a convenient location, and it could be cute if a little effort was taken. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Sleep in your car before here.

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.

You get what you pay for. The check-in was fine, the room had a terrible odor. The heater/air conditioner was very noisy and missing vent pieces. Overall it was a very cheap place to stay, I didn’t have any big issues.

we booked 1 night before camping for a few days. We stayed exactly 7 seconds in the room that was covered in mold and maybe the biggest spider this earth has to offer. We did not argue with the front desk. We calmlyi dropped the key and drove 90 minutes to the next available lodging in our price range. I am unsure how a room like that can be offered at all to the public. I enjoy roughing it from time to time but I don’t try and acquire diseases while on vacation.
