    10/10 this place was awesome. Came for our minimoon, staff was super friendly the entire time, General Manager Rob came out to the pool to introduce himself and open up the cabana for us, Owner Peter came up to us at the bar to introduce himself even though they had a large event going on in the restaurant. Food was spectacular, we ate at La Colline 3 nights in a row and twice for lunch. Massages were awesome and fairly priced, totally worth it and we’ll be back! New management, new chef, new rooms, everything was great!

    Dear Ethan, Thank you for choosing to celebrate your minimoon with us! We are thrilled that Rob and Peter made you feel personally welcomed and that your time at La Colline, relaxing spa treatments, and poolside cabana created such special memories. Your enthusiasm for our refreshed accommodations and culinary offerings means so much to our team. It was a pleasure being part of your celebration, and we cannot wait to welcome you both back for another unforgettable getaway! Sincerely, Robert Miller General Manager at Hillside Boutique Hotel

    Have you ever stayed at a 4 star hotel and the bed sucked, so to you their 4 is now your 0. This hotel is the opposite. It is old; our room even smelled old. The balconies are in serious need of repair. We had to put something on the bathroom floor to keep the door from shutting. But the bed? Best ever! The views are dependent on which building they put you in. Ours was on the left in front of power lines, so there wasn’t a lot to see. We ate at the restaurant one time. The steelhead trout was fishy. The drinks were good and the service excellent. I’m not a hotel snob, but I’ve stayed in more than a few. It’s quiet; no rowdiness. My review of this hotel is mixed. If it’s based on service and sleeping, 5*. Would I stay here again? Maybe/not sure.

    Dear Kimberly, Thank you for such a thoughtful and honest review. While we are glad that our restful beds, peaceful atmosphere, and attentive team made a strong impression, we are disappointed that the condition of your room and dinner did not measure up to the rest of your experience. Your comments have been noted, and we hope to welcome you back for a visit that earns top marks all around. Sincerely, Robert Miller General Manager at Hillside Boutique Hotel

    Absolutely wonderful place for a staycation for my wife and I for our 55th wedding anniversary. All of the staff is outstanding Logan on the Front Desk and Jason, the general manager made sure everything was absolutely perfect. The meals were outstanding and both Mary and Brad in the evenings made everything extra special. Samantha who took care of us both days for brunch made these meals special with her sweet demeanor. Friends joined us for our anniversary and they were all equally impressed with the entire operation. They have all said they will now put this on their list of places to go for a little break. Being as it’s only 12 miles from where we live, it makes this very convenient even just to run out to have a great dinner! We definitely will be back.

    Dear P C, Thank you for celebrating your 55th anniversary with us. What a remarkable milestone, and we are honored that you and your wife chose to mark it here alongside your friends. Our team members will be delighted to hear their care helped make the occasion so memorable. With home just a short drive away, we hope to see you back for dinner or another relaxing getaway. Sincerely, Robert Miller General Manager at Hillside Boutique Hotel
