4/10 Fair

would not recommend
Only stay here if there are no other options. It's a quaint old building but has not been updated in a long time. The floors were really crooked. The upholstered chairs in the room were ripped and stained. The bathroom baseboards had layers of dust. The bed was hard as a rock. There was no deadbolt on the door, just locking knob and a chain. I stopped myself from looking more into how dirty the room actually was. The linens are not changed daily, no house keeping at all during our stay. We had to ask for a new set of towels.
no deadbolt, and an adjoining door that only had a locking doorknob.
both chairs looked like this

Potpourri smell
Older hotel with smaller rooms, perfect location, comfortable bed. Only real complaint is the floral cleaning products they use are overpowering. Smells like potpourri from the 70-80’s. Really offensive. We had to leave the sliding door open the first night to air the room out. Walked by a different room that was being cleaned, and the strong floral smell made me gag!

Only issue we really had was poor internet/wifi....our tv worked only after going to front desk and asked for help. Every time we signed off our phones and tablets we had to go thru the whole process to sign back in only to have 1 or 2 bars that booted us offline frequently. The location was great to walk to all stores,, bars, restaurants and of course the beach

The rooms are terrible. Very dirty. I'm an usually customer of this hotel, but didn't visit for 4 years. I've noticed that the rooms are very very dirty. That's the only bad point for me.

Such a quaint and charming inn literally in the middle of everything Hampton has to offer. The front porch offers the ideal spot for people watching if you are not lucky enough to have a balcony. The beach is literally across the street and you can even hear the waves once the business of the day dies down. If you are looking for an ultramodern hi-tech hotel, this is not the place for you (in fact, we had to forego tv during our stay because they were unable to get it working) but if you are looking for the nostalgia and simplicity of days past while still being in the thick of things, this may be for you

Pretty Good Stay
It was a super small room. Very old building, which has it's charm. There were 2 staff members that were very pleasant, girll with curly curly hair at front desk and the grey haired gentleman that checked me in and carried my bag for me. The rest of the staff were standoffish. One improvement would be a simple bottle of water upon check in. (One thing is the ceiling tile in bathroom had a pretty good size missing corner, I felt watched)

This was our first stay at the Hillcrest Inn and I would definitely stay here again . Overall, this is a decent place to stay right on the beach! Nice balconies with view of the ocean and boardwalk. Outdoor pool was a plus for the kids. I am always nervous about the beds in these hotel rooms, but they were decent and sheets and blankets were clean and white. The only complaints I have was that the air conditioner only worked for 10 minutes at a time we couldn’t figure it out or it was broken. And the rooms do not have a microwave or coffee maker.

I booked an side ocean view room its very small...was not very clean. There was a sign to put towels and garbage by door and they would leave clean towel they didnt..we had to get clean towels on our own. Above the a.c i dont think has been cleaned at all... for the money we paid it wasnt worth it...

Great location and the 2 bedroom was ideal for what we were looking for. But the room was filthy. Old ice cream still in the freezer. Bedding was stained. Mirrors were smudged. Air conditioner dripped on the floor (carpet) on the porch and was moldy.

All rooms should have a long mirror behind the bathroom door. We had one on the top floor then we had to move and didn’t have one in that bathroom, that was a bummer!! Overall great stay.
