Guest Reviews
- hughf900 (4/5): Cleanliness is overlooked. - Location was great. Unfortunately the cleanliness needs a great deal of work. Our room smelled like urine and surfaces and window sills were not cleaned very well. Furniture was dusty, heating system along the walls were dirty and cruddy, the bed was hard as a rock and the pillows were pretty much non existent.
- Wayne (8/5): - It’s a little bit old and needs a little bit of tlc and I noticed that there is no fire detection just a spot for it?
- Denis (10/5): - Room was what we expected, staff was friendly.
- Lse (10/5): - The price was the first thing that attracted me to this property, the reviews were positive so I went ahead and booked. Glad I did, the reviews were spot on. The bed is comfortable and the room is well appointed. I would come again.
- Karen (8/5): - An extra blanket in the room would have been good. A few shelves in the bathroom would be helpful. Over all, a nice motel.
- Leanne (8/5): - Good price and clean in a convenient area !
- June (8/5): - The bed was comfortable and the night was quiet so I was well rested for a long drive home, thanks
- Peter (8/5): - It was clean and had the amenities that you would expect from an economy motel. Priced right.
- Mirna (6/5): - Clean space
- 805andrewn (8/5): Clean. Comfy. Well appointed. Central. - A nice, clean place to stay. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the room has a fridge, microwave and coffee machine. Bathroom was spotless with good water pressure in the shower. A very well maintained property. Rooms quiet even though located just off a busy street.
It's also a short walk to many pubs and restaurants.
- Ryan (2/5): Don’t stay here. - Very very dirty. Almost cancelled after checking in but I was too tired.
Ant traps all over the room. Dirty baseboards. Extremely hard bed. Pillows that felt like they were 20 years old (thankfully I had my own).
Definitely not worth the $99 I paid for the night.
- Michael (4/5): - The room we were in needs painting and a deep clean. Ashtrays in front of every room was not at all attractive. The kitchenette didn't have pots, pans etc needed to prepare a meal. The one frying pan available was rusty and unusable. I will not return.
- Michael (8/5): - A decent motel for an overnight stay. Bes was wey comfortable and property was well mintained.
- Elizaveta (8/5): - Room had very strong smell of cleaning supplies
The rest was good
- Julie (10/5): - Solid little property. Clean spacious rooms, outdoors is nicely appointed. Great value. Would definitely return
- Ian (6/5): - Okay
- Maurice (8/5): - Very Clean, old.
- Joan (10/5): - This is an excellent hotel to stay at. The only thing I didn’t like is the parking spaces are not very visible because the lines are badly faded so it’s extremely difficult to park within your own parking space. Often other guests are also parked outside their lines as well for the same reason
- Caroline (10/5): - Simple
- Gary (10/5): Happy Stay - I really enjoy going to Hillside it's so clean and very friendly and the location is perfect I will definitely come back there.
- Jane (6/5): - Decent motel for the price. Shower had some black mold on caulking. Floor wasn't very clean. Beds were fine. Nice flowers around outside. Okay for a cheap stay.
- Ruohan (10/5): - The landlord was very friendly. I didn't know the local customs, so I checked out early and took the key away. After returning the key to the landlord, he forgave me for my mistake and provided me with a temporary rest area. The service here is also very good. The bed is very big and comfortable to sleep. They also provide free coffee (you need to make it yourself)
- Hasan (2/5): - We stayed there before it was awesome. But last time i was there was terrible. Shower mat wasn’t clean and it was painting stuff under the bathroom sink
- Gerard (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff, basic but very comfortable.
- Daniel (8/5): - Partially renovated but good place to stay for the price
- Monique (10/5): - Very clean and quiet rooms. Property well groomed with flowers and also very neat.
- Phyllis (10/5): - Quiet, good price , comfortable.
- thea (8/5): - The Hillside was a great choice for us! Clean, comfortable and very affordable! The safe was very friendly and attended to any of our concerns immediately.
- Cheryl (10/5): - The owner and employees were friendly and helpful. It was clean and the premises were well maintained with beautiful flowers.
- Bev (8/5): - The property was lovely
- Chengzhang (8/5): - No ac and the temperature is crazy high in the summer.
- Brenda (4/5): - There are grocery stores and restaurants just a short 5 minute drive away. No dining at the hotel.
Haven't tried the bed yet, but mattress feels firm and bedding looks fresh.
The room, however, is old and tired. It smells of cigarettes. We just dumped our stuff and left. Spent from 5pm to 9pm out and about because we didn’t want to spend ant more time in the room than we had to.
I guess thats what you get for less than $150!
- Antonio (8/5): Ok for One night - It was a ok place for one night.
Limited options of restaurants at a walking distance.
- Jason (10/5): - Very clean, friendly and helpful staff, reasonably priced.
- Nicole (8/5): - It is an old building but well maintained and clean. Beds could use some new mattresses as one is very soft in the middle and the other is way too hard. More pillows would also be helpful
- Joan (10/5): - Very clean rooms and spacious. Our stay was very relaxing. We will definitely rebook at this location. Both staff and other customers staying at this location are very friendly and polite
- Katherine (8/5): - The Hillside Inn is a nice alternative to the chain hotels. Clean and well located with a good restaurant within walking distance. Beautiful patio area to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails.
- MARK (10/5): - Competitively priced facility; my room seemed to have been recently refurbished and was clean and in excellent condition. I have stayed here before and may stay here again if the rates are still good.
- Amanda (8/5): - The motel was renovated. Staff was quick to check me in. Only thing was that the bed made a weird metal noise anytime i slightly moved. Located on the main strip everything was close by and convenient.
- Richard (10/5): - Excellent place to stay. Close to everything you need.
- Ruth (8/5): - Nice and clean place. Good price.
- Darrel (10/5): - Very clean I would come again
- JM (10/5): - Friendly staff, quiet location, excellent housekeeping and a nice place to stay. Strongly recommended!!!!!!!!!
- Taylor (8/5): great for price - Quiet with kind staff and relatively clean property! Near restaurants and convenience stores which is helpful. Having the room with the screened in porch was a fun plus :)
- Julie (6/5): - The owner is so nice
I reserved for quenn but gave me different room because problem with reservation system.
But agreed 👍
Bed way too hard.
Bed the sheets were they clean ?
Air conditioner needs to be clean
The hospitality was nice.
Thank u 🙏
- Laura (8/5): - The room was
- MC (10/5): - Very nice suite
- Alexander (10/5): - Enjoyable, relaxing
- Corina (10/5): - Comfortable bed, quiet room .
- Michelle (10/5): - Good value
- Robert (4/5): - The hotel is terribly outdated and in need of a major update. Trying to plug in my computer was a chore as the outlets are in the most unlikely places. Heating did not work at all. I have to move the small refrigerator to find a dusty extension cord to plug in the coffee pot. I do not believe this is safe. I cannot recommend this cheap hotel to anyone.
- Lee (8/5): - Accommodated us with a space heater when we asked about the cold temperatures in the room. Appreciated this and understood that the main heating system was turned off for the season and the conditions were unseasonal during our stay.
- jordan (10/5): - Was my second time there and it's still as good.
Love it when I'm traveling on motorcycle.
- Gary (10/5): Great stat - First time staying loved it will definitely go back
- Mario (10/5): - Quick check-in, recently renovated.
- Jimmy (10/5): - Nice place clean and quiet, would stay here again
- Joseph (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and quiet. It would be 5 stars all the way if the soap, shampoo, body wash were a bit better.
- 400abbygailb (4/5): Hard bed - Clean, but the bed might as well be a table with a blanket over it,or be made of bricks it was so painful to sleep on. The sheets were stained and had a cigarette burn hole and they wanted to charge us $10 to plug in our hybrid electric car that would have used $0.60 of electricity.
- Abby (4/5): - Clean other than stained sheets with cigarette burns. The bed might has well of been the floor though, it was so hard. They also wanted to charge us $10 to plug in our hybrid electric car that would have cost $0.60 in electricity.
- Alex (8/5): - Why are you allowing guests to smoke right in front of the rooms? Second hand smoke is pretty dam disgusting!!!
- nicoletH2557LQ (10/5): Perfect place to stay - The room was very clean and new. It had a table, fridge, coffee machine. Everything was on the ground floor. If you wanted, you could run across to McDonald's or another little restaurant to eat. Would definitely stay here again. It says I need 200 characters.......
- Jen (6/5): - Front desk was very helpful. Located in a good spot close to amenities. The one thing I did not like was when I pulled the bed sheets back to find dirt and stains on the sheets and pillows. You get what you pay for.
Front desk came quickly even though it was very late at night when we arrived and resolved the situation quickly.
- Perry (10/5): - Staff was friendly, room was clean
- Kendall (10/5): Comfort and Charm - Upon first arrival, there was a guy outside sweeping the edges of the pavement clean of debris, the priory itself clean and bright. The room was quite comfortables and updated. The staff friendly helpful and polite. I’d stay there again for sure.
- Lorraine (10/5): - It was nice and quiet
- Chantal (10/5): - Great stay
- Perry (10/5): - The staff was great and friendly, the room was warm as I stayed there in February, the bed was very comfortable
- CLARE (6/5): - It was OK. Had a really safety vixen with the old hair dryer in the bathroom. The back part of the dryer was completely missing leaving the rotating blade completely exposed. Could have totally caught my long hair in it if I hadn't noticed. Told the Front Desk about it upon checkout but they didn't seem too concerned about it. Hopefully, they will replace it. Could have casted a really bad accident.
We rented a two double bed room. One bed was so hard I couldn't sleep on it. The other bed wasn't much better. Both were propped up on metal frames so everytime you hit the frame, it clanged quite loudly.
Overall, for the price, it does have its benefits and the location is good. But I'm hoping they will fix the above mentioned issues.
- Murray (8/5): - Price was good and good location
- pauline (10/5): Awesome little gem - Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and updated.
- Hailie (10/5): - It was very clean and quiet the owner was extremely nice with everything and the room service was amazing, definitely coming back!!
- Yu Myat (10/5): - The place was nice and quiet. The staff were helpful. Had a great stay.
- Yu Myat (10/5): - The staff were very nice and the place was clean.
- Brian (8/5): - Called me asking when I'd arrive. A little rude I think.
- Melissa (2/5): Pas cher mais ne vaut pas cher - La chambre était très sale. Résidus de savon sur le lavabo, murs sales, cheveux dans les serviettes. Il y avait des fourmis partout dans la chambre. Pas cher mais ne vaut pas cher.
- Dave (6/5): Was...ok. - Small room - which was fine, just me and my son. But the bed was hard as plywood and the pillows, was like sleeping on a sandbag.
Some of the towels, were stained (didnt look dirty - but there was smudges).
- Michelle (10/5): - Neat and clean. Good location.
- michael (10/5): - loved the price and easy check in as for quiet not sp much as I could hear the person in #30 sneezing I was in #29..
- Tim (10/5): - Great price great place friendly staff!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Decent room with one exception - The room was fine with the exception of an odour that was very unpleasant. Not sure of the source but that should be addressed
- Peter (10/5): - standard motel of good quality
- Gord (8/5): - Stay was fine but I don’t know why when if it gives you and option to pay at the hotel when you get there and they already processed it on your credit card that day before you get there.
- murray (4/5): - the bathroom floor had tissue laying about 2 large brown bugs were also found in bathroom floor poor quality linens used coffee pot had to set on floor to plug in [ cord short] room condition very poor paint peeling dust never stay there again
- James (8/5): - This is my normal place to stay when visiting in Pembroke. Cheapest rates in town but while dated, clean and comfortable. Wifi is good, great places to eat in walking distance and short trip to shopping and downtown/waterfront areas. Staff are friendly. Never had an issue over the years
- John (8/5): - For the price it was perfect for a two night stay. Lean and well maintained.
Good restaurant (Fresco’s) next door.
- Lorraine (8/5): - It was nice and clean and staff was friendly
- WING HONG (8/5): - Motel seems dated but newly renovated. Basic amenities good enough for an overnight stay with a clean room.
- Brent (6/5): - Wonderful owner friendly . Place was clean the property was beautiful. Restaurants in the area was horrible. Nice people was a good experience except for the crappy restaurants and tv
- Charlina (10/5): - Property is very nicely maintained & landscaped - shows prelude of ownership. Front desk reception was polite, friendly, and accommodating.
Rooms are newly renovated and VERY clean.
This is a family operated motel and not a hotel, so have realistic expectations when you arrive. If you’re expecting a Holiday Inn, then go stay there. If you want reasonably priced, very clean, quiet, and a good night sleep, then I highly recommend a stay here.
I will be back as I have family in the area.
- Wade (10/5): - Recommended as a place to stay. Good value. Convenient to restaurants and shopping. Friendly propieter.
- John (8/5): - clean
- Hasan (10/5): - Stayed there couple times.
- Theresa (6/5): - Beautiful grounds,easy parking. Lovely quaint room.Comfortable mattress
Dog barking next door then owners yelling for it to “shut up”
So much for a good sleep!!
- Lynne (10/5): - I found this property to be great. My room was extremely neat and tidy and the location was central to everywhere i had to go dueing my stay. The staff were very polite and accommodating. I will definitely stay there again!!
- Sherry L (2/5): Do not stay here. FILTHY! - Do not stay here. It’s is not clean at all. You can slap some paint on anything and make it look nice. This place is filthy. The sheets were disgusting. The place smelled like urine and the bed was and frame were full of hair! FULL! the floor in the shower sank. I never stepped on the floor without my shoes on.
- manuela (10/5): - Our room is spacious, very quiet, the 2 queen beds excellent.
We couldn't watch TV, it didn't work.
Very clean.
- Brian (8/5): - This is our second time staying there. Its an older property. Grest value for the price. The heating / cooling needs sime work. Great staff.
- Miranda (10/5): - Ash trays
- William (6/5): Ok for overnight travel - Very tired hotel, needs updated, uncomfortable beds
- John (6/5): - Overall stay was fine. Some minor points I noticed in the room. No mat for the shower. No counter for the bathroom. Unless you use the toilet bowl lid. No hangers. I’m thinking it was just my room and I did not bring it up with staff. I would stay here again though.
