Beverly
This property was nice.
Barbara
Um maybe bigger signs so that we can see it from the entrance and maybe pave the road. That's it other than that it was a pleasant stay very clean and mostly quiet.
Irma
Very nice. The cleaning lady was very helpful
Edlin
Great location but definitely needs some touches. Our rooms floor was dirty and the restroom was as well. We were in a pinch for location but this property has potential.
Sabraney
Very cute the only thing I did not like was the larkinglot was dirt so it tracked into my car and the room, other than that we enjoyed our stay.
christina
its a great small hotel with only 11 rooms, beautiful view of the high dessert, especially the sunset its is usually stunning. i stay there quite a bit
Frances
Manager was terrific. I was not feeling well and she tried to accommodate me.
When we arrived we were surprised when we pulled off the highway to a dirt road. Room was clean but no amenities. Very small. Tavern was closed on a Saturday night at 6:00 pm. Not where I wanted to be.
I tried to cancel through Expedia but couldn’t because it was past cancellation date. WE DID NOT STAY AT HOTEL. WE WERE CHARGED FULL PRICE. WE HAD NOT TOUCHED A THING.
We drove home to San Diego instead.
It is VERY OBVIOUS Expedia has NOT made an on-sight diligence re this property. It does not deserve an 8.8 rating. You should refund me my payment. It was not a good experience and I was charged full price.

My husband and I totally love the Hilltop Inn and Tavern, even though we are not attending the live music events that are often on the Saturdays when we return from hiking to the Deep Creek Hot Springs deepcreekvolunteers.com
So yes, Saturdays live music you can hear from your room, but it is subdued and not too loud. Just pleasant background music. Thank you!

Love the view from the back patio. Everything was well taken care of
Nancy
This is one of the sketchiest hotels we’ve ever been to.
We felt things were unsafe from the very beginning, from the general vibe of things. After we checked in we witnessed a drug deal.
We kept smelling smoke the whole night.
The rooms are extremely hot and it’s only March.
I’ll now describe the rest of the night. There may be some overlap, but tried to record time when a new event happened even if there was other things going on.
At 12 am we started hearing yelling and screaming coming from the vents that went on for an hour, after words we could hear talking and other noises from the vent for most of the night.
2:34 am can hear music and banging noises through the vent for a while
3:08 am the screaming and noises came back and continues . Music is still playing.
3:22 I hear some sort of slapping/altercation, concerned for safety of those around me.
3:36 more slapping. Yes, the other sounds still going on.
3:44 the slapping and screaming has and other noises suddenly stopped.
6:52 screaming came back and has escalated. Calling police.
Really I can’t stress enough how terrible this stay was. Please, please do not stay here

everything was perfect
Nathan
The room was clean, parking was not difficult and the views were excellent. However, there was no hair dryer and we had to go to Target to buy one. The biggest issue was the AC vent in the ceiling. It literally served as a speaker for another room to play into ours. The folks in that room were awake and being noisy until 5am.
Paris
It was such a pleasure to stay in this wonderful place.The room was cute. The mountain view is so amazing, such a great sunset and the view at night overlooking the city and a awesome view of the stars..
Melia
None of the interior lights worked (even the bathroom with the pull string). Sediment seemed to be coming out from both faucets, so I didn’t feel comfortable taking a shower.
Kevin
Clean room, off the beaten path.. I only slept there, but it was comfy and safe
Tamie
Stephanie was very accommodating! The room was great along with the view. Will definitely stay again.
Eric
Provided the asked for extra pillows. Always a great and fun spot to stay.
Lana
Clean room, comfort, & the quiet surroundings
Melinda
We have stayed there several times. The place is always clean’ the check in and out is convenient and we can arrive whenever we want and get in our room. Stephanie and her crew are very accommodating and always polite and friendly and always trying to improve the service.

Thought it was a Hotel, not a motel. WAY too overpriced for a motel. Hard to find and on dirt roads. Apparently no Common Courtesy Curfew. Others that were 3 or 4 units down were so loud, that they finally quieted down around 3:30 am or so.....it was very hard to sleep.
Victoria
Parking was easy. The rooms were cool and didn't need conditioner.
Cristal
Clean room. Easy to get a hold of check in staff.
Eric
Fun place. Nice tavern on site. Very retro, clean and cozy. Awesome views, day or night. Just a great place to lay your head.
Joey
Clean room and quiet area.
Brian
Nice and clean; easy check-in. Complimentary late check out. 2nd time staying here and will definitely stay again!
Shane
Cute location with a great view of the area. There was no thermostat in the room, only a small space heater with no dials (on full blast or off). There was a vent in the ceiling that connected to central heating, but it also was a way to hear the other guests watching TV, getting it on, or fighting. Hearing the drunks fight was like going home for Thanksgiving, but I had no emotional investment, LOL! Quirky, but I liked it for the most part.
sandra
The staff was friendly and very helpful getting us into our room early.
The issue was that the room wasnt clean. Hairs all over the couch, dirty floors and very outdated faucets/plumbi which took 10 monites

Im always happy to stay there
Eric
Fun place for a short getaway.
Room was clean. Nice, but a little rough around the edges. Missing a few tiles in the shower and some trim/base board. The heating vent overhead was a direct conduit of sound to our neighbors room. We could hear talk, tv, snoring, etc. The mattress had a distinct sag in the middle and caused us to roll into it. But, the place, overall was well kept, beautiful views, friendly, nice and fun restaurant/ bar, fair priced, etc. We look forward to giving it another try, just a different room.
lou
This place is absolutely the best!! If you want quiet, clean and off the beaten path, this is the place!!
jordan
Clean & quiet a little hard to find maybe couple more signs out front but for most part would return
Jason
It’s a great place off the beaten path that’s generally quiet. There is a live band that plays at the tavern next door but it didn’t bother m sleep ( I was in a room near the end closest to the tavern)
It’s always my first choice when I stay in Apple Valley.

We stood at the Hill Top tavern Inn wanting to stay low key and away from everyone else wasaa aAaas stayed there for a just a bit over a week while we were there we met the owners who live on the property she has raised her kids and grandkids there. I met there manager Stephanie she’s also the hotel maid she was so kind and helpful to us in accommodating me in getting me anything I needed They have a restaurant and live cover bands over the weekend Also have a gazebo to be married if interested there’s 10 units it’s quit and away from EveryThe view is beautiful
Cherei
Enjoyed my stay much more this time than the last couple times I don't know if it's cuz the room I was in was in better condition than the other ones or what but it smelled very clean when we walked in it felt very clean my only problem was the people in the room next to us we're banging on the wall all night and I have no idea what they were doing or why but every couple of minutes you would hear a thud it was very annoying but you can't blame the property manager for that they have no control over what people do in their rooms they just need to be more considerate realizing there is somebody on the other side of that wall
Elizabeth
We stayed for two nights and were very pleased. Our room was scrupulously clean and free of dust which is difficult in the desert. The beds were the most comfortable we slept in on this 12 day car trip. We especially loved the totally contactless check in process and keyless entry. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

Travel Back to the 50s-A Good Way
Spent a night while waiting to pick up wife & granddaughter. Hilltop had a nostalgic feel, est 1947, of travel in the 50s. Reservation online & all communication, which was great, was through texts, to include room number & access code. Housekeeping staff was friendly & helpful. Only recommendation would be for better signage. Finding the Tavern easy, little mor of a challenge initially locating the room.
Diane
Nice little hideaway.
Tyler
Great and friendly management, understanding with an easy check out/check in process. Awesome views, and good cutsomer base.
Sandra

Jesica
The only issues we had were that the wifi was not working. We had to connect to our own hotspot in order to watch some tv. Also the walls are very thin and the vent/ AC that’s connected to all the room is the worst idea. All the noise from the rooms next door would come through. We were stuck between two very loud neighbors who were cracking up very loudly at 2am.
Amanda
Awesome place
Chris
Great value. Clean, updated room with an old country feel. We’ll be back!
