I recently stayed at the Hilltop house for two nights when visiting the Harpers Ferry area to go tubing and visit the nearby Civil War sites. We enjoyed our stay, especially the view which is breath taking, and the location which is convenient to everything we wanted to experience. I must caution that the Hilltop house is old, and what some might ...
I have had occasion to stay at the Hilltop House twice rather recently. Last summer my husband and I stayed there with our 5 children. The children's room was spacious and had a bathroom almost as big as their room. Their room had a wonderful view.
Our room was cozy and very sufficient. Everything was clean and if not extravagant, it had ...

It was like being at Summer Camp with my best friends
Upon arriving at hilltop house, I laughed out loud. A friend of ours arranged a get away mystery weekend for 13 couples. When she told us about where we were going, she stressed that the hotel was old, not antique, but garage sale old. I kept saying it would be a great place for Hollywood to make a scary movie.
I have to say, some of the ...

Dissapointed in overnight stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/07
For a place with the best view in Harpers Ferry, we were dissapointed in our stay. We had eaten there once and decided to do an overnight stay. What a mistake,
The shabby $100 room was nothing but an oversized closet. The bed and dresser took up the whole room. The window airconditioner blocked the view, the best view was from the bathroom ...

Horribly Disappointed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/13/07
We booked the restaurant at the hotel for my mother's 80th birthday. The food was okay - not great. The service at this place was the most horrible experience I have ever encountered anywhere. We went for lunch, and it took us THREE HOURS to get our food. The entire staff acted as if they were doing us a huge favor. The views may be spectacular, but that's it's only redeeming quality. I will NEVER go back to this place ever.

Will never visit again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/02/07
The Hilltop House Hotel was the worse hotel my husband and I have ever stayed in. It was as if we had stepped back in time. The place was dirty and very outdated. The bathroom floor was leaning and the vanity was old and with a cracked sink. The second person in the shower ran out of hot water. The heating system was a space heater on the wall ...
I have been familiar with the hilltop House since I was very young. I was recently married at the Hilltop House, and enjoyed every bit of my stay and wedding experience!! The hospitality, affordability, charisma, chef and especially the view was a complete joy!!

Disappointment

Having been to the Hilltop House a few years ago, our expectations for a "fine dining experience" were not high. We did however, expect a reasonable experience. What we found was incredibly disappointing.
Specifically:
Entrance was filthy, making us question our choice Carpet in dining room is tattered and filthy ...

Look at the view then stay in another town
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/08/06
Peeling wallpaper, broken appliances, curtains falling off their rods or the rods were broken and duct taped....dirty bathrooms. A friend and I stayed in two rooms and both were disgusting. Breakfast was cold. Either renovate or turn into a hostel. If you want to visit Harper's Ferry, stay in another town because there aren't any decent accomodations or restaurants.
