What guests think

At Hilltop Motel & Restaurant, travellers highlight the scenic setting by the falls and dam, friendly staff, and a hot made-to-order breakfast when included, with many rooms offering balconies or views that make short stopovers pleasant.

Rooms range from very small to spacious and are often dated; several guests mention firm mattresses, traffic or mechanical noise, and occasional Wi‑Fi/TV problems. Cleanliness is frequently praised, though some report musty or humid odors, stained carpets, or maintenance issues. The on-site restaurant earns praise for hearty breakfasts and views, but service can be slow and, during ownership changes, breakfast inclusion was inconsistently honored. Expect a simple stay with great views and friendly service, plus some quirks.

Staff was friendly, room was clean but reeked of Pinesol to the point it would not disapate despite keeping the windows open all night. Caused headaches and burning eyes. With the windows open the noise from trucks coming by on the road was extremely loud. Internet did not work at night but somehow worked fine in the morning. Dinner at the onsite restaurant was a disaster, it took over an hour to get our meals, the pork chops were 1/8" thick, overcooked to the consistancy of shoe leather, the kitchen ran out of vegetables that were suppose to come with the meal. Very disappointing stay.

Family research visit to Grand Falls. Convenient to stay in town, nice view of the river and falls. Room was less than expected for the price - dated decor, stained/dirty carpet. Frequent intrusive traffic noise from aggressively driven passing vehicles with open exhaust. Good food and service in the restaurant but included breakfast had apparently been discontinued. Could be a retro "gem" if room decor was renewed but ambiance maintained (based only on experience with our room - not sure if others may be different).

Parking is easy, check in was quick. Hill Top Motel and Restaurant located right next to the river and falls, close to the shopping mall. Bathroom and towels were clean and in good condition. There were not enough hooks for towels though. Mattress was not the best but okay, linen was clean. However, the room was smelly. Furniture, curtains, bed cover, walls smell old cigarette smoke from the time when guests smoked in the room. Otherwise evyrything was as expected

Close enough to highway and ok for one night. We could hear the traffic outside like it was in our room. That being said it was probably the worst room for traffic noise since we were on the end. The carpets in the room were stained and bed was not very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.

PROS: Large updated rooms with nice size bathroom and great patio to have coffee and enjoy the river. Plenty of towels that were thicker than most hotels we’ve stayed in. Blackout curtains were great. Breakfast was included and it was your choice of the entire menu. Plenty of parking and walkable to the falls. Nice exterior CONS: The beds (mattresses) were terrible !! They were hard as a rock. It was a rough, painfull and long night. Would’ve been more comfortable sleeping on concrete Toilet needs to be replaced. Shower head needs replacing or fixed. Restaurant was average. Service was very slow and not very friendly. Food was bland and tasteless We will not be returning.

We were assigned a room where the air conditioner made horrible noises all night. When we mentioned it to the staff, we were made to feel guilty about wanting to change rooms. She stated that if we did, someone else would have to put up with it and that it was a lot of paperwork/effort to switch us. This was a stopping point for us going from Ottawa to Moncton, but we will find a different place to stay from now on. We go every year to visit family. Wouldn’t recommend it based on the front desk staff. It doesn’t show well when there’s a problem and you don’t really want to resolve it.

There was a group staying in rooms above us and they were making so much noise we couldn't sleep. I had to call the front desk to put an end to it. We had a long day of traveling and looked forward to breakfast which didn't happen. Apparently they were down some morning staff and so service was extremely slow. We were so annoyed that we left having had only a cup of coffee, our food order hadn't been taken and we had sat there for almost a half hour!

I asked for the new owners email three times so I could make this review in privately but the staff refused. I stayed at this property twice: Aug 13. Second floor queen room with a view. Checked in with no issues at 3 pm. Room was dated but very large and clean. Worth the $220 for a stop over driving from Nova Scotia to Ontario. Aug 23. First floor double room. $194. Would have rebooked second floor but it was not available. Tried to check in at 3 pm. Told there were no rooms available (parking lot had two cars and all rooms appeared vacant). Asked if there were any clean rooms available that I could check into as we’d been driving all day. Was told to come back and it should be ready in 30 minutes. Came back at 3:30, staff told me room was not yet clean. I asked if I could be switched to another room as the parking lot was still empty. Staff said they were not allowed to do this because other guests might upset by the room switch. I decided to wait in the lobby area with my kids as I was tired. I waited quietly. At several points the staff member became upset and told me it wasn’t her fault but the cleaners fault for being too slow. I explained that I wasn’t upset with her but with the policy. She then left the desk area to discuss my issue with other staff members in French. Even though I wasn’t speaking French to staff I fully understood the conversation. Room was awful when allowed to check in after two other sets of guests were checked in before 4 pm

Went to check in and there wasn't anybody at the desk. Waited 15 - 20 minutes for the girl to come. She was friendly. We wanted dinner so she took us to a table in the restaurant. We waited at least 15 minutes for someone to come and take our order. She was very friendly and apologetic. The food was terrible. My husband's dinner was cold. Then we went to our room. It was very dated, the beds looked like they were slanted towards the wall but we were so tired after a long day of traveling we didn't care. Got in to bed turned on the TV and nope it didn't work. Will not stay here again.

Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Toilet was broken, it ran constantly and the flush wasn’t connected to anything so we couldn’t flush it without reaching into the tank.

Enjoyed the location with view of the falls. Room was a nice size and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. However, we did find the balcony railings to be a bit unstable. Dinner at the motel restaurant was below par as the food was not very tasty and chicken was overcooked. Very disappointed that the restaurant was not open at 6:00 am as time posted on the door and also was confirmed by a staff when asked the evening before if it would be open. One of the reasons we chose your motel was the complimentary breakfast and early restaurant hour as we had a 8 hour drive back home. We decided to leave at 7:00 am when a staff person came running to open the motel registration office. She said the cook was not coming in....very disappointing. We understand that this motel is undergoing new management and staff but still not an excuse for not offering the services as stated. We will not be returning and will not be recommending Hill Top to our friends.
