Do not believe the photos! They have to be years out of date. The walls had large hole repairs but the worst was the front door. It was peeling and cracked with inch large gaps along the edges. I was supposed to stay there with my 11 yr old daughter and neither one of us felt safe. The building is also right up against the neighborhood liquor store. I can't even imagine what it would have been like to actually stay there. My daughter started googling hotels to give me other options.

Booked the room because it was a good price and the photos weren’t bad. When we got there, the photos we saw is not was we showed up to. There was rodent poop in the bed and the dresser drawers. The one chair had a cigarette burn and the other chair had some weird stains on it. The bottom of the door was busted and you could see between the door and the door frame, out to the parking lot. The outlets didn’t even have covers on them. All the patchwork on the walls were done but just left as is and never went back over with the paint. There were also two men out back just sitting by their white van and drinking. Also the property was attached to a liquor store. It was a wild experience. Once we were in there for 10 minutes we decided it was definitely a no and we just had to see if we could get our money back and we were going somewhere else. My husband didn’t even feel comfortable staying there, mostly for me, and he’s been to prison. That how terrible this all was. Asked for our money back because we didn’t even stay and they said to go thru Expedia cause that’s where we booked it. Well Expedia kept calling and the property purposely wouldn’t answer to give them proper details so Expedia could run the refund. Expedia was so willing to give our money back but the property manager would do it. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! Thank you to Expedia for their understanding and willingness to help.

The price was low but the rooms were in terrible disrepair. There was a hole punched in one of the walls, duct tape on the bathroom door, tape wrapped around the bath faucet and the room was really dirty. The AC worked well and the sheets were clean and that was all I needed. I’m an Appalachian Trail thru hiker so I’m used to not so clean accommodations so it didn’t bother me so much but I would imagine it would have been unacceptable for most guests. The first room I was shown smelled bad and I thought it would clear up with some time with the AC on but sadly it did not and I asked to change rooms. The staff was very accommodating.

Oh. My. The WORST place I've ever stayed. All of this is true:
1. hair in the sink
2. balled up, filthy washcloths shoved into the AC unit
3. stains all over the walls
4. putrid cigarette smell
5. holes in the bathroom door
6. a live-in neighbor who banged on the wall and screamed the second I got in the room
7. a stinkbug infestation in the curtains and under the bedskirt
8. drunk live-in neighbors who chain-smoked

I just left at 11:45pm and got another place. This place should be condemned.

The photos of the property were incongruous with the reality of the room. The damage and lack of upkeep in the room strongly affected my negative impression of the overall property. Though the location is perfect for access into harpers ferry and c&o trail, and the view outside the room is awesome, the smell in the room and overall lack of attention makes the experience not worth the price I paid. Also, clearly, Internet has not been available for some time at the property.

Ok so the heat worked well and everything else was below par. It had been raining and it would have been nice if they had a mat outside our door. We tracked water in with ever bag we brought in. I guess what skived me the most was they didn’t have a flat sheet. So you slept in a bed with a blanket that clearly wasn’t cleaned after ever guest. The curtains didn’t close all the way. No ice on the property. They told us we could go to the liquor store but we didn’t need a big bag of ice. The property was not kept up. The driveway has weeds growing every where. The building could have used a power wash most everything was green. I can go on but what’s the point. Wouldn’t stay here again if you paid me.

I arrived worn out after 11pm. I was chargeg $20 more than quoted and the door lock did not work. The light turned green when it was swiped but did not open the door. When I went to the car to get my things twice, each time the receptionist had to use a key to open it

In the morning when I went to eat (a very disgusting breakfast) I was made to wait 15 minutes for someone to open the door. When I returned home I called to complain about the price and additional aggravation of the door I was given a 10% refund. THE PRICE WAS THE SAME AS I HAD BEEN TOLD WHEN I CHECKED IN. APPARENTLY, THEY DIDNT THINK ME SPENDING AN EXTRA HALF HOUR AT THE FRONT DESK WAS WORTH ANYTHING!

Hotel is under new ownership. Owners seem nice but the hotel needs a lot of updating. It was clean, but a fresh coat of paint, replacing doors, and possibly a new mattress would make the stay better, not just a mattress pad. There is no complimentary breakfast due to “covid restrictions”. Heat/AC system was struggling.

Close to every thing we wanted to do in the area.

Staff had to use Google translate to understand I wanted an iron(that I had called about ahead & was assured would be in the room). The water was hot but that's about the best thing about the room. There were no hangers, walls with patches of white paint over repairs, the top sheet was tucked in with the bottom sheet, the nightstand had cobwebs & an empty soda can behind it, no cups for the coffee pot, the WiFi didn't work, and the walls were so thin that I could hear the couple in the next door talking in a normal voice, and could almost make out what they were saying. The TV did work. The room had a refrigerator that froze my salad, and a microwave that needed cleaning, but did work. I don't think this facility is up to a level that it should be listed on Expedia.

The location was fantastic for visiting Harper's Ferry, Sweet Run State Park. Gas and convenience store across street. Proprietors friendly upfront and honest, showed room and told wifi wasn't working before check in.
Frig, microwave in room, many channels on tv. Bathroom clean, bed fine. Minutes from Potomac and Shenandoah rivers plus parks.
Would not recommend to families too small, nothing to do, no food options nearby. Room met my needs, but edges were dirty, damage to wall, bathroom door had a cardboard patch, cracks, walls and ceiling had stains. Outlet cover missing. Its a shame since some fairly simple repairs would do so much for the place. Huge pothole as enter parking lot, but can be avoided. Liquor store next door.
If you're looking for a place to stay while hiking, enjoying the area its very convenient but there's a reason why the price is so cheap. Did not have bugs as others reported.

I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. Upon arrival, we found the room to be dirty, unsanitary, and reeking of urine. It was in no condition to stay in — we immediately left and had to find alternative accommodations at our own expense.

When we contacted management to request a refund, they refused to take responsibility for the condition of the room and denied the request, despite the fact that we couldn’t even stay there due to how unclean it was.

This was an incredibly disappointing experience, and the lack of accountability from the hotel made it even worse. Save yourself the stress and stay somewhere else.

First, our fault for not reading all the reviews. Only saving grace is the liquor store steps away so you can drink yourself to sleep. However, this place is an absolute dump. I don't think the rooms, besides changing our bedding, are ever done. The floors are sticky, walls are moldy in the bathrooms, and the outlets are a fire hazard. I don't know who was using the lamp shades and curtains as napkins, but it is gross. Have some self respect and at least clean. This is a convenient location, and it could be cute if a little effort was taken. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Sleep in your car before here.

This used to be a cozy Adventure Base, with a diner and a liquor store nearby. Checking in, had to call a cell phone, a guy off-property came. I tried to cancel my pre-paid Rez but he claimed Expedia demanded he charge me. Id been on the Appalachian Trail for 4 days so I thought I could handle it.. Got to room, I've seen worse, but started shower and couldn't get hot water, neither could see aff. I'm the only guest, and that includes the staff, I'm sure they weren't thinking of firing the expensive boilers for me. It was clear they had no hot water capabilities. Staff kept offering to switch rooms but even in other rooms, they'd have to actually get hot water going to the property. This motel exists as an Expedia scam. If you make Rez, it gets charged and they claim they are powerless to cancel. Ended up taking a taxi to another hotel.

This place is a dump! Run!

Took a chance on this place based off some of the recent good reviews and its proximity to Harper’s Ferry. The owners friends and family must have wrote the good reviews because this place is a dump. First off, I had to wait for well over 15 minutes for someone to come check me in, and he only came after I called the hotel. The door to our room barely closed, and didn’t have the safety lock so I wedged the chair against the door as a precaution. There was shampoo bottles left in the shower from the previous guest along with trash in the can and grime and hair in the sink. I made my son sleep on a pillow and blanket from the car because I was seriously questioning the cleanliness. If we had not already paid and absolutely exhausted, we would have left.

we booked 1 night before camping for a few days. We stayed exactly 7 seconds in the room that was covered in mold and maybe the biggest spider this earth has to offer. We did not argue with the front desk. We calmlyi dropped the key and drove 90 minutes to the next available lodging in our price range. I am unsure how a room like that can be offered at all to the public. I enjoy roughing it from time to time but I don’t try and acquire diseases while on vacation.

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.

I liked chill clerk, that the location was close to my destination, and the budget price.
I didn't like noisy room heater, shower bar had been torn off walls, dirty chair covering.

Definitely expect a dated, older,cheap/budget accommodation.

The owner was extremely rude, the facilities were dirty to say the least. The sheets were staying the pillow cases were stained, the walls had so splattered all over them, the shower had hair in it, they were dead bugs in the window seal, there was writing all over the lamp shade, the bathroom door was busted somebody had kicked it in from the back, the paint was scraped off the walls I would not recommend anyone to stay at this place

Adequate for restful sleep

The sheets were visibly stained, but felt clean. No other issues with cleanliness, but the toilet would run sporadically, necessitating manually shutting off the water to it.

I checked in well after dark, and was dismayed to find that the lobby was closed and locked. When I found the window, I had to call for assistance and wait in the cold and windy night.

Parking is adequate, but the markings are not clearly visible in the dark. Given the facility's obvious age, I was pleasantly surprised at the modern proximity key for the door. There was plenty of space for me, but the room would have been crowded with another adult and even one small child. The bed area warmed adequately in a reasonable amount of time, but even when I set the temperature higher in the morning, the bathroom remained uncomfortably cold.

The minifridge kept my food cold, but the excessive frost on the open freezer compartment took up a lot of space.

With a little maintenance this place could have been so much better. A fully made bed would have been nice. Did not meet any staff ,did communicate with manager communication was great.

There was no hot water in two of the three rooms we reserved. Towels and sheets were ancient such that maybe they were clean but they did not look it. My room had toiletries left over from the previous resident. Key return was not secure so anyone could have gone into our rooms after we left.

Ac/heater unit smelled like urine when on. Curtains and towels appeared to have blood on them. The floor was sticky and the place had strange people hanging outside the rooms making lots of noise. Lamp shade look like it came out of the trash bin. Overall the worst place I have ever stayed at. I have to be honest in this case.

We arrived at 9:00 PM and there was nobody at the office to let us into our room. There was a number to call but all we could do was leave a voicemail. We never received a call back, even the next day. We had to drive another 40 minutes to another hotel.
Also note that it is listed as being 1.6 miles from Harper’s Ferry. Possibly as the crow flies but it was a 35 minute drive.

2 Star accommodation but price is fair for the area. It's real close to the C&O Canal and Harpers Ferry, and plenty of space for cars, trucks, and bikes for each unit. Beds and drawers are spacious and A/C&Heating unit always worked fantastically.
Mini fridge and microwave is OK and always worked. They're college dorm size but you won't be making complex meals while staying here...

For around the area, there's not much but there is a gas station/convenience store right across the street with some hot food and useful household items.
And it sits right next to a great Bar&Grill. Though make sure to stock up on the goodies cause there's nothing else around or open after 9pm, unless you go east towards Brunswick.
Oh, and a liquor store right next door to the property which has some great stock!

Downsides are that your unit may have broken furniture and/or dead bugs to clean up on arrival. You also might need to escort some crickets out of the room, unless you really enjoy their nightly songs.
Provided hand/bath towels are clean but clearly old and a bit cheap. I would bring my own if possible or buy some decently better cheap ones at a store on the way.

But again, 2 star motel in a rural area of MD. It's not bad at all, and I'll probably stay here again! Friendly staff as well.

Linens were dirty, looked like they had shredded cheese left on them. Bleach not used on linens so they were dingy. There for less than 10 minutes. Stayed elsewhere.

Horrible! Don't stay there!

The heater/air conditioning unit didn’t work. We (not the staff) finally figured out what was wrong and managed to reset it.

The faucet in the sink did not work; it spewed water at the joint, very little came out of the faucet.

The hot water pipes in the shower squealed horribly.

The room had a sweet cloying smell. We left the fan running, came back after 4 hours, but the smell was still there.

There was no fitted sheet on the bed, only a top sheet. We had to ask for it at the front desk, then make the bed ourselves. The blanket was carelessly thrown on a shelf, not even folded.

The coffee maker was dirty/unusable. But there was only decaf coffee anyway. And there were coffee stains on the table where the coffee pot was.

The floor was not swept. Walking with bare feet in the room was not an option. Very tight quarters. Less than a foot between wall/window and edge of the bed with AC unit cord lying on the floor.

We asked for a discount because of all these inconveniences. We were told, “since the reservation is made with Hotels.com, no discount can be given”.

We chose the place for the reasonable price, but also it was part of Wyndham hotels so we thought there would be an acceptable standard of quality. We were so wrong!

Heat DIDN'T work well. Lady at front desk swore they checked the unit in all the rooms. Yes it turns on, but doesn't stay on. Keeps kicking off after a minute and doesn't heat the room. Was charged by expedia and the hotel, fortunately was refunded by hotel without too much fuss. Dead bugs all over. Bathroom was barely clean. No cleaning had been done behind fridge and microwave and TV. Only reason we looked was we had to plug in the fridge. Was booked for 2 nights, only stayed 1. Could see daylight around door. Had an old Knights Inn sign up. Description calls it a hotel, which implies more than 1 floor. Definitely NOT! Old, outdated MOTEL. Spend a little more and stay elsewhere

We pulled up to the property. It was run down and in disrepair. The \"lobby\" was unattended. We waited for 15 minutes after we pushed the buzzer. No one came. We left and went somewhere else. It was appalling!

Stay Away!!

It says there is breakfast. But they have a sign posted stating that the health department won’t allow them to serve breakfast. Which is a complete lie. The comforter is merely a decorative sheet. The room is ice cold. The hotel has no ice or vending machines available. This is by far the worst hotel on the planet!!
