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..

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.

Absolute dump!
The worst experience I have ever had!!! The room was horrible! The base of the lamp on the bedside table had broken apart and just pushed back together. The lamp shades were cracked and falling apart. The curtain had pinholes in it and was covered in dust and cobwebs. The refrigerator was not completely clean. There was a hole in the wall above the AC unit. The bathroom door had been kicked in previously and barely patched on either side. There was a patch done on the wall outside the bathroom, not painted. There was wadded up wet toilet paper in the corner of the ceiling and the wall above the shower, not sure why? There was dried vomit on the wall next to the bathroom sink and dried blood droplets by the bathroom door inside the bathroom. It was a disaster. I've never seen anything like this before in my life. DO NOT STAY HERE! We did not stay, we demanded a refund and left! They did not give us a refund and I will be contacting Hotels.com.

The property was dirty and outdated. The bathroom was small the door stuck and couldn’t shut it all the way. Drawers off of the desk and chest were falling off and the smoke detector was handing from the ceiling. The mattress was lumpy and it was difficult to move or fall to sleep. They did have a coffee pot that actually worked. Not enough of plug ins for devices and they gave us three different remotes for the tv and none of them worked. Customer service was horrible.

We arrived at 10 pm to see the Northern Lights. A storm rolled in and we didn't see anything. But the room was clean and cost. The sheets smelled great. The ceiling shows old rain damage and needs a coat of paint. $90 plus tax was a little high.

Good enough for the price and the novelty of it.
The room was small and in disrepair. It was still safe, clean, working facilities and free of bugs. Parking was a bit confusing but all in all it was okay. We just need a place to sleep while traveling this worked out. If you're a fan of The Blair Witch Project movie - part was filmed here. So, thats kinda cool.

The Hillside looks like a nice little Inn but its a dump. There were ants in room along with various other bugs, holes in wall, stains everywhere. We found exposed electrical sockets and the lights flickered nonstop. This place needs a visit from health dept and code inspectors.

Hillside woes
Looks like they worked on updating fixtures such as sink, refrigerator, & microwave. But the lack of cleanliness of the walls, floors, ceiling, and chairs was unnerving. The upholstery of one of the chairs was falling apart under the chair. The drapes were old and dirty, with small pinpoint holes that showed when light passed through them. The toilet kept dripping off & on into the bowl, which was annoying. The room had an old combo air conditioner & heater; it was a chilly night and the chill stayed in the room. The bathroom water was warm, but the bathroom itself was very chilly. Bathroom towels looked clean enough, but were pretty worn down. The fire alarm monitor was hanging down 6-8 inches from the ceiling from its wires. The drawers in the bureau & nightstands could also use a cleaning. All in all, not a very fresh smelling room. Could be fixed up OK with decent, clean furniture and scrubbing & painting of the walls and ceiling.

The entries for this place in WAZE and in other Google searches list it as permanently closed. It is not, but it caused me confusion as I attempted to call them while on the road, and the number was listed as out of service (from a Siri query.) I had to stop and search fo another number to find the correct number and confirm I had a reservation. And--it's variously listed as the Knights Inn and the Hillside Hotel. It's the latter. And the place is REALLY worn down. Old furniture, falling apart furniture, nasty bedspread, no TV remote, no coffee, and NO DINING AREA as shown in pictures. You're getting what you pay for.
