The Hilltop Motel is unapologetically simple. Great price for a clean room with a clean bed , full bathroom and cable tv. The staff cannot be beat; it was great to come back after two years and the guy at the front desk remember us. They also now have a convenience store on site along with the hair place. Will be back again.

Pretty dumb that the males only are forced out of theee rooms rain or shine for 20 minutes daily for the staff to clean or pretend to clean. Usually a do not disturb sign on the door is sufficient enough but not for that place. When I asked the day manager if we could skip it cause we clean our on room he asked me if I’d like to go somewhere else

Our room was SO clean! This was exactly what a budget motel should be. Nothing fancy, common areas/exterior a lower priority than the rooms, which were renovated post-covid. Bedding was new, comfortable, and so very clean. Window A/C unit worked well, and the manager made a point to turn it on before our arrival. Despite hallmarks of an older property (e.g. layers of paint in spots), everything in our room was spotless, even areas generally overlooked like behind doors and in a small crevice beside the sink. An easy drive to town and the lake…we will definitely return!

The room was clean and the bed comfortable but the price for a very old drive up motel was way out of proportion to what it was. Wasn’t anything near a super8 or other affordable hotel/motel and was twice the price. I think that it was inflated for the long weekend and moving kids into university but absolutely ridiculously high prices.

For the price ($128), the furnishings, cleanliness, and beds are OK. The biggest problem is the smell (reek) of stale tobacco smoke in the room, despite the non smoking status. Clearly, these rooms are rented mostly to smokers, judging by the chairs and ashtrays outside each door and the number of people using them.
For anyone objecting to the smell of stale smoke, this is not the place for you.

Hilltop Motel, Kingston Ont

Very good value for the stay. The room was cleaned each day, linens changed and fresh towels. The room was warm and cozy, thermostat accessible.
The unit is what I expected for being a budget motel, the only thing missing from the website overview was a hair dryer. Just ask at the desk if you need one, I guess?
The only negative was the bright lights from the business next door shone through the windows at the back of the room and bathroom, but it didn't interfere with sleeping, and I actually found it helpful when I got up in the night to use the bathroom. I didn't have to turn on a light and wake up my kids.
There is a Tim Hortons just 3 minutes' walk down the road, a grocery store just up the road if you want snacks.
Conveniently on the transit route, the #4 bus goes right to both transfer points in Kingston.

Hilltop much better than I expected.

I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. As best I can tell the motel is kept in very good condition. I stayed at a brand name hotel for 2 nights at a much higher cost (albeit near Montreal airport) and the condition of the hotel and rooms was much, much worse.

At Hilltop I noticed nothing needing any repair or maintenance - even the bathroom tiles and grout were about as good as possible. The person that stayed with me complained that the shower suddenly went ice cold during a shower. I had no such problem and suspect she may have nudged the control - but, I don't know definitely.

cycling stop over

I was cycling from Kingston to Smith Falls, needed a comfortable room to rest up after the long ride.
Check in was easy. (<10 Min) The cabin was suggested so I could bring my bicycle inside the room, for the night. The shower was hot. The bed was comfortable. The room was quiet. It was large for one person plenty of room for me & my bike.
The manager suggested I could walk to the fast food strip mall a 15 minute walk ( Pizza Hut, Subway, Tim Horton's, ...) The walking time was accurate. The food was awful, truly the low point of the trip. The manager generously offered to drive me to the strip mall, well beyond the duties of a motel manager.
