Reviews for HillsPoint Hotel and Conferences
Review 1:The shuttle van was broken down so I had to pay for a cab from the airport and back. The room and facilities were pretty beat up. The breakfast was subpar. The TV was 25 years old.
Review 2:Good price. Nice people at the desk. Clean
Review 3:Very loud group staying - kids running up and down hallways all night and early morning . Walls paper thin - noise level unbearable. TV broken .
Review 4:Easy access from highway
Review 5:Overall my room was dirty and worn out. Holes in the carpet, stains on the blanket. The bathroom was the only part of the room that felt clean. I did not feel safe here because the building was accessible without a room key.
Review 6:The bathroom was clean. And the people at the desk where I checked in and out were very pleasant and helpful.
Review 7:WiFi was weak in the room but worked in the lounge. Ran out of regular coffee in the room.
Review 8:It was much cleaner than expected. We like the love seat size couch in the room.
Review 9:The room wasn't clean, there was broken glass on the floor of the balcony, the AC unit was really loud when it cycled on and off, the building itself was really old-school, the breakfast was a joke, the bed was hard with only two small pillows - I could go on and on. Never again.
Review 10:The landscaping, no locks on exterior doors, the desk clerk said the room was not ready until I agreed to pay $35 for an early check in. So she basically lied to my face. The rooms are old looking.This property is way over priced for the quality. I wouldn't waste my money here again. Reminds me of the movie "The Shining".
Review 11:The room was clean. The a/c worked great.
Review 12:the cleanliness of the rooms and the facilities was not good. Cobwebs in various places, dirty halls, stained furniture, dirty balcony, and peeling paint. Front desk asked how the room was and when i let them know the room was dusty they shrugged it off...no apologies
Review 13:The price and location was good
Review 14:No restaurants nearby (just a pizza place) but the desk clerk pointed out a to-go place that would deliver so we got a decent brunch.
Review 15:All the people working there were great. We got in about 3 am on a flight from Bradley and the desk clerk was awake and cheerful. The next morning, a different desk clerk was very helpful
Review 16:Their website says in 3 places they have a 24 hour complimentary shuttle, they dont. Their clerk at the front desk quickly shut down that idea. There is no elevator, the room was not clean. I sat our 11 month old baby on the floor for a minute and she had trash in her mouth. There was a take out box under the bed and something sticky on two different counter spaces.
Review 17:Nothing really
Review 18:The place was old and lacked any updates. They would benefit from a maid service with attention to detail. Our room was dirty and musty. The key card reader was rusty and took about 10 swipes to finally read card and open. The sink was broken and shot water out in a very erratic stream that got everywhere. The breakfast was a nice thought, but poorly executed. Some bagged bread loaves a toaster some unappealing pastries and empty milk and coffee which they seemed reluctant to fill at 8am when breakfast ended at 10 the coffee cups had lids next to them that did not fit.
Review 19:Friendly staff. Both of the two staff members we encountered were friendly and enthusiastic.
Review 20:1. We chose this hotel because of the indoor pool - but it was cold, the room it was in was cold, the corridors were unheated. 2. The TV didn't work - could only see the edges of the pictures. We asked for help, but no one came by. 3. We switched off the heater, but it kept coming off and on all night, and it was so noisy that we didn't sleep.
Review 21:Staff were very helpful in finding a good place to eat.
Review 22:No wi-fi. Pool ice cold. Worker said they were out of but ordering almost everything for their breakfast offering. Outside of building falling down in places. Bathroom lightbulbs burning ceilings. Cigarette whole in the blankets in the non smoking rooms. Staff very unfriendly or willing to help. We had 3 separate rooms and all of us used my credit card to reverse but paid with different credit cards upon arrival. The card use to reserve was also charged on top of accepting payments so now I need to wait 14 days for a credit. Unwilling to take my card and reverse/refund. Reserved king beds but they had non. My daughter bought candy and accidentally left it on the counter. When she went back to get it she was told she would have to buy another because she was unsure if she was the one who left the candy behind, which she found. Why would she go back for it if it wasn't hers. Just an awful experience, we tried to get another hotel but were unable to cancel this one.
Review 23:It needs a lot of exterior work. Cleanliness should be a higher standard. Felt like people may have been living there and that was uncomfortable. The continental breakfast should have higher standards. And the people servicing the breakfast were not following health guidelines for proper food service according to the FDA.
Review 24:We liked the staff and the pool area seemed nice although we didn't use it. We also liked the easy accessible location.
Review 25:They have no WiFi, they had ice cold pool water, unsecured entries staircase had an odor. No ice bucket, . No refrigerator. If you stay more than a day, you had to requests housekeeping to give you full service or they will just change towel and empty trash.
Review 26:Some of the service Personnel like (Joe who did the continental breakfast) , were apologetic for not having the waffle maker etc.
Review 27:Room wasn't clean and ac took awhile to kick on. I had reserved a room with a king size bed upon arrival the only king size beds were handicap rooms which we accepted but there were marks on the wall spiders in the restroom and it looked like the floor needed vacuuming
Review 28:Everything is nothing like in the pictures online,pay deposit 250 dollars,the stairs smells like dog! Outlet in room 264 is broken I went to talk to their staff she told me not to let my kids touch it the floor has yucky stain! Never stay there again!
Review 29:It's close to six flags!
Review 30:We wanted a relaxing weekend getaway and the website for this hotel is false advertising. The indoor pool was freezing and they said there was a free hot breakfast with up to four hot items...there arent any hot items. We asked about it and the receptionist said they no longer offer that. We wouldn't have book this hotel if we were aware of this. I sent an email about this and noone ever got back to me. I will never stay there again. Completely false advertising on the webpage.
Review 31:The first room they gave us was dirty, the carpet was wet the room smelled . The second was better but had to switch tvs cause the first didn't work, the housekeepers didn't leave any toilet paper or extra towels that we asked for. So when we came back to our hotel room after a very long and late day we had to call down to get toilet paper and towels cause we had none!!! Very disappointed
Review 32:The front staff was helpful
Review 33:Wifi was out and there was no communication of that at the time of booking. There was a previously used washcloth still in the shower.
Review 34:Overall it was a good experience. Breakfast was acceptable. Pool was nice
Review 35:The door from the parking lot to the hallway way unlocked at all times. I kept the room door locked, though it would feel more secure having the outside door unlock-able by key card.
Review 36:Friendly staff and clean pool with no chlorine smell.
Review 37:No elevator. Response time for towels or toilet paper was way too long. And the surprise of $69 being held until 3 days after you leave
Review 38:Waffle maker, not too expensive. Indoor pool
Review 39:The Wi Fi did not work, leaving us without the entire trip, there was food still in the refrigerator when we arrived, the pillows were horrible and one of them had an odor that I cannot even describe! I am not sure if the housekeeping staff really cleaned as when we checked in along with the refrigerator and pillows, the towels were not stocked and the tissues were opened and all but 2 gone.
Review 40:The pool was nice.
Review 41:The 1st thing that you notice is how dirty and run down this place is, there was an air conditioner above the entrance to the rooms that was leaking water onto the carpet & formed a big puddle the we had to walk through to get to our rooms.
Review 42:The price was ok & there is a nice lobby.
Review 43:The ceiling in the lobby was leaking.
Review 44:The room was clean!

Review 68:POOL WAS DIRTY..WIFI ONLY WORKED IN LOBBY...AND BREAKFAST WAS NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES..SMALL STALE AND GROSS
Review 69:No mini fridge. 7-10 day hold for 2x the price of the room. Rude lady at the front desk.

Review 81:Absolutely nothing.
Review 82:Staff was prejudice and very rude! I got dropped off from airport and employee made it very difficult for me to check in with unbelieveable policies
Review 83:Bathroom cleanes was horrible and bathtub was clogged so water woudn't drain out , not the best conforters very unconfortable ones , making this changes , the hotel would actually be a nice place to go for a little while !
Review 84:Price was okay, pool was good , not a shabby brekfast
Review 85:Was not offered info in wifi at check in. Lobby, pool ground level before rooms are lovely. Rooms are in needed if updating. Was a little disappointed after walking through lobby. Staff were great, helpful and friendly.
Review 86:Parts of the carpet in our room seemed damp like it was recently shampooed, but not completely dry. Also, the sliding glass door on the ground floor did not lock. A little unnerving, but not a huge concern given the time we arrived, location, and the low activity outside the hotel.
Review 87:It was a really great stay for the price. Rooms were nice and clean, and beds were comfortable. The facilities you can tell are a little older and not the newest, but definitely a great place for a good night's sleep.
Review 88:older facility needs some updating, rugs in room and slider view to roof that looked questionable. should do continental breakfast only or add more hot food options.
Review 89:location, staff excellent was comfortable
Review 90:bathroom a bit worn - torn wallpaper at tub area but clean so OK with me
Review 91:great person at the front desk - breakfast and lobby area very clean and welcoming
Review 92:The one staff member was very friendly when i checked in, but the woman was working on her computer as i stood in line waiting and did not acknowledge i was there, i thougt was a bit rude.
Review 93:Good sized room, enough towels for the evening and day, didnt have to bring an iron or hair dryer
Review 94:It's really a two and a half star hotel pretending that it is a 3 star hotel. Housekeeping is approximate, breakfast is minimal and the hotel, which is being turned around after bankruptcy, is a bit of a ghost town. Management was sympathetic and helpful and made amends by offering one night free. The place has potential but there is lots of space for improvement.
Review 95:The price is good and the staff is helpful
Review 96:Understaffed. Didn't feel safe. Rowdy partying all night. Breakfastlacking. Wi-Fi iffy. Room dingy. Photos on Booking.com misleading. Thehotel should charge higher rates to gain the money to fix all the littlefaults and improve the place.
Review 97:Cheap. Right off the interstate.
Review 98:Hardly anything - the rooms were okay but lacked good pillows. The room did not have information for guests: no info on surrounding restaruants or places to visit, no info sheets of attractions in lobby. No WiFi or comfortable computer place for guests.
Review 99:The rooms seem to be in a state of renovation and while for the pricewere fine, the bedding needs to be replaced as the blankets are a bittreadbare and the coverings had seen better days.
Review 100:The reception area was apparently recently remodeled along with theindoor pool, both were very nice and the included breakfast offeringswere decent.
Review 101:The room had alot of dust n everthing when i first entered i had to dust it myself beforei could put anthing away i think it just wasnt occupied for a while before i got the room
Review 102:Alost eerythind
Review 103:Feels old with doors and card readers.
Review 104:Friendly Staff, Open schedule and rooms. Nice and quiet. Nice TV's, Clean bathroom and looks re-done. Very big and roomy for all residents.
Review 105:Their webpage doesn't tell you there's a $50 pet fee!! For$121/night I don't expect to find black mold in the rooms,stains on carpet, dust everywhere, a broken remote, etc. The pool wasfreezing, my daughter loves to swim & I normally can't get herout of the pool but she couldn't take it & was only in for about5 - 10 mins. There's two tacky chairs in the entrance are that areleft over from their Howard Johnson days that need to go. Littlelighting outside so it's very uncomfortable going to & from yourcar. Last year we stated there and the beds were awesome, the beds theyhave now seemed to have come from a used Hotel auction somewhere. Wedidn't care for the guy at the front desk he seemed to enjoy makingit difficult to check in. The "free breakfast" bar wassomething you would expect to find at a cheap hotel not one where wepaid $121/night!! Last year we had a great experience there, thisyear it was terrible due to "new management" changes. We willnever stay there again!!
Review 106:The rooms could use some updating and the outside doors weren't locked. I didn't like that anyone could enter through the side doors. It didn't make me feel very safe. Other than that it was a very nice place to stay.
Review 107:I like the value for the money. The lobby was beautiful. The staff was very friendly. It was a very nice place to stay.
