Hilltop Motel

Possibly the best lodging value in this popular resort town during the summer. Do not let the age and small bath turn you off. You’ll spend your time by the pool or in the kitchen/​dining room area outdoors.
Across the street from historic Surf Ballroom, a block from the lake and very close to several good restaurants. I highly rcommend a ride on the Lady of the Lake paddle wheel cruise and a stop at The Mercantile downtown.

Owner operated, wife runs front desk & is very pleasant & personable. Rooms are pretty clean except I did let her know my bathroom floor was not cleaned good at all & some hair still in shower, so I used some handwipes on the small floor area which pulled up more than I’d like to see upon check-​in. She was bummed I hadn’t called them to deal with it & was very apologetic, told her it was not a big deal but I was checking in late & was tired so quicker to do it myself. Great place to stay for working in the area. Caution to bigger guys, the only draw back to room was a 2.5’x2.5′ shower cube I could barely move in & I’m only 180 lbs 5′ 9″ guy. Other than that room was comfortable & good weekly rate of $ 225/​wk in off season (was there in Nov,). Internet service was not very good in Rm25, disconnected a lot then reconnected. Rm25 is great corner room with extra windows & good views! They also have a patio area with BBQ grills, pizza oven, microwave, stove/​oven, all utensils & plates/​cups, you can use any of it & leave it there & they wash everything… this is a very generous thing of the owners to do, so please don’t steal stuff & ruin it for the rest of us honest people.
WARNING: AVOID the Cancun mexi restaurant down the hwy… I’ve posted a review on it & they should not be in business!

I LOVE this place. The rooms are very comfortable, with little kitchenette’s and always CLEAN! I travel A-​LOT for work and usually stay for over a week, The Hilltop never disappoints!
