Delicious Bistro Experience

The bistro at Hillside was a true highlight of our stay. We enjoyed the plentiful portions of perfectly cooked chicken fried steak and a good kale and golden raisin salad. The patio dining atmosphere was perfect, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal.

Relaxing Poolside Oasis

The tropical pool area was a serene escape. With plenty of spaces to lounge, it felt almost like our private oasis. We spent hours soaking up the sun, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. It was the perfect way to unwind during our stay.

Cozy Deluxe Suite

We stayed in a King Deluxe suite, and it was wonderful. The upscale furnishings and large balcony provided stunning sunset views. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home and added a special touch to our getaway.

My stay at the hotel was lovely overall. The rooms had spa-like quality and offered beautiful views of the little town, but I was a bit disappointed that there was no coffee or bathroom amenities provided. I had to call the front desk multiple times because the TV wasn't working, which was a hassle. However, the room itself was relaxing, clean, and tastefully decorated like a mini apartment with a nice patio. The facilities were well-equipped with a microwave and a dormitory-sized refrigerator, adding convenience to my stay.

The hotel is situated on top of a hill with beautiful surroundings, allowing for a peaceful escape. However, the interior of the hotel, particularly in the cabana area, seemed old-looking and dark with stained ceiling areas, detracting from the overall ambiance.
