Paula (10/5): - Beautiful view
Moises (10/5): - So far so good
Sara (10/5): - They have bands on the weekend that perform and are cover bands they have a gazebo for weddings the scenery is beautiful it’s out in the middle of no where apple valley I love that it’s secluded the rooms are little suites they offer a sink microwave dishes coffee
Desiree (10/5): - It’s very small out in the middle of the desert nice get away for my boyfriend and I the owner of the hotel is very nice so is there maid Stephanie very helpful and great communication I love the no contact check in and they accommodate early check in if available
Desiree (10/5): - We stood at the Hill Top tavern Inn wanting to stay low key and away from everyone else wasaa aAaas stayed there for a just a bit over a week while we were there we met the owners who live on the property she has raised her kids and grandkids there. I met there manager Stephanie she’s also the hotel maid she was so kind and helpful to us in accommodating me in getting me anything I needed They have a restaurant and live cover bands over the weekend Also have a gazebo to be married if interested there’s 10 units it’s quit and away from EveryThe view is beautiful
Cherei (10/5): - Enjoyed my stay much more this time than the last couple times I don't know if it's cuz the room I was in was in better condition than the other ones or what but it smelled very clean when we walked in it felt very clean my only problem was the people in the room next to us we're banging on the wall all night and I have no idea what they were doing or why but every couple of minutes you would hear a thud it was very annoying but you can't blame the property manager for that they have no control over what people do in their rooms they just need to be more considerate realizing there is somebody on the other side of that wall
Elizabeth (10/5): - We stayed for two nights and were very pleased. Our room was scrupulously clean and free of dust which is difficult in the desert. The beds were the most comfortable we slept in on this 12 day car trip. We especially loved the totally contactless check in process and keyless entry. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.
Gary (10/5): Travel Back to the 50s-A Good Way - Spent a night while waiting to pick up wife & granddaughter. Hilltop had a nostalgic feel, est 1947, of travel in the 50s. Reservation online & all communication, which was great, was through texts, to include room number & access code. Housekeeping staff was friendly & helpful. Only recommendation would be for better signage. Finding the Tavern easy, little mor of a challenge initially locating the room.
Diane (10/5): - Nice little hideaway.
Tyler (10/5): - Great and friendly management, understanding with an easy check out/check in process. Awesome views, and good cutsomer base.
Sandra (8/5): - I lake
Jesica (8/5): - The only issues we had were that the wifi was not working. We had to connect to our own hotspot in order to watch some tv. Also the walls are very thin and the vent/ AC that’s connected to all the room is the worst idea. All the noise from the rooms next door would come through. We were stuck between two very loud neighbors who were cracking up very loudly at 2am.
Amanda (10/5): - Awesome place
Chris (10/5): - Great value. Clean, updated room with an old country feel. We’ll be back!
Denise (8/5): - It was a very beautiful room, view is always beautiful day or night. For some reason the bed sunk in in the middle of the bed. I would stay there again
milli (10/5): - Lovely quiet experience
Magda (10/5): - Everything I needed, great view Will definitely be back
Neyia (10/5): - Clean an quant
Robert (4/5): - This property has so much potential but there are areas that are lacking. The rooms had a shared AC unit that could not be controlled. The vent allowed noise from other rooms to our room. Our neighbor was involved in an all night sex encounter that was clearly heard in our room. The shower was not finished properly. The drain was a hole in the ground. We found a footprint on the inside sliding glass door.
Dana (10/5): - I adore this little place hidden in the desert.... You'd never know about this gem if you weren't a local ... It's a great place to get peace and quiet from the outside world ...
patricia (8/5): - My husband and I enjoyed our stay here We will be returning 😊
Braun (4/5): Completely false Advertising. - This is completely false advertising. This is neither a Tavern nor an Inn nor is it a Hotel. This is a Motel with an event facility that is associated with it down the road. You can't normally get a meal or a drink here. If you are planning on staying at a Hotel where you can come back to your room at night and get a good meal with a drink, this is not the place. If you want a hotel where you can chat with people at the bar, this is not the place. If you want a very old, but well kept, Motel where you drive up to your room and go right to bed because there is literally nothing else to do, then this is the place for you. For anyone that has rated this facility 10/10, I sincerely hope that life turns around for them and they get to stay somewhere that is a genuine 10/10 Hotel. Because they clearly have never seen one in their life. I would never recommend this facility to anyone. When I first drove up the dirt road to the location, there wasn't a car in the parking lot. That's because the "tavern" is normally closed. You have to get back in your car and drive a few hundred yards further down a dirt road to get to your Motel room. This is not a Hilltop Tavern and Inn and it should be legally required to rename itself.
Robert (8/5): - The rooms were very well kept. Reminds you of a B&B. The fact that we could open the sliding door and have not only a view of the valley below but also a beautiful sunset was so amazing. The tavern had live entertainment band that rocked. Walking distance from our room. We definitely thought this place was undersold. We would've given it a top rating if not for the lack of temperature control in our rooms. I dont know if our vent was broken, but it was extremely cold and the wind was gushing in from the roof top vent. Not even the little area heater they provided could over come how cold it was. It was hard to sleep.
Mauricio (10/5): - Amazing
Verified traveler (8/5): - A nice, comfortable, older remodeled motel. The only issue we had was the shower head was not very good. The Tavern was a fun hangout.
Andre (10/5): - Beautiful place! Easy to work with. Clean and nice. Will be back again hopefully!
Claudia (10/5): - The epic sunset is the best! Everything is beautiful and met or exceeded my expectations.
Janeth (10/5): - We arrived late and we noticed one used toilet paper roll, luckily we brought our wipes but what an incredible inconvenience if we weren't prepared for this situation its late and no one to complain too everyone was gone so it seemed
SAMANTHA (10/5): - Fantastic stay!! Room was perfect. Beds were comfy, water was hot, not noisy and the views alllll around were breathtaking.
Stephanie (10/5): - Privacy and quietness
Karina (10/5): - The property is fine, but is open to the wild. No fences to protect the perimeter of the property.
RaiQuan (10/5): - A very good hotel for couples
Kristine (10/5): A great weekend get away - The stay was great. A fun little get away while checking out a concert next door.
Melissa (10/5): - I liked staying here. Everyone was nice and the rooms were clean and comfy. My only complaints are how cold my room was and how hard it was to find the property. Otherwise, I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a comfy and quiet stay with a gorgeous view.
RaiQuan (10/5): - It's always very Clean, quiet and very Good for couples
Stephanie (10/5): - Private and off the beaten path. Love this spor
Sumi (8/5): - This is a great, cozy little place. There’s a gorgeous view off of the back patio or my room. The room is extremely clean and comfortable.
Kerry (10/5): - Really cool old Hotel. Hard to find though in the dark. Ended up at the bar and they had to tell me how to find the Motel
Edward (10/5): - The view is the most beautiful scene ever. It's a panoramic view for sure and you can open your back door slider or blinds and have an awesome view all day. In the night time you can see whole cities light up with breathtaking views and wows in every direction. Great place for a staycation, vacation or just a weekend retreat.
Rae lyn (10/5): - Stephanie was amazing. Provided me with excellent check-in, room was immaculate and she brought me an extra blanket. Thank you
RaiQuan (10/5): - Good 👍😊
Paris (10/5): - This place is such a beautiful place to stay. We love the whole western atmosphere. It’s also very peaceful and the view of the mountains, we the night view of the city lights are just amazing. We will definitely be back.
Amanda (10/5): - Perfect little hideaway surrounded by gorgeous mountains. Took some amazing photos of sunsets out here
Rae lyn (10/5): - Stephanie made my stay so comfortable and welcoming. I stayed for a post-op procedure. She checked in on me several times to make sure i was ok. Thank you so much!
