There wasn't really too much not to like staying there. Although renovations was going on, the place remained clean and pleasant. The pool , when we went swimming, wasn't too sparkling clean like we've been used to and there were little frogs or toad in the pool 😬, and pool lights never came on. Will we go back ....... YES , we will. See them July 2026.

The staff was exceptional. Jenny was very helpful and even had time to show me the renovations that is going around there. As this is my 5th year staying @hillsideboutique ! Can't wait to see the finished place.

Such a cute boutique hotel. The staff accommodated my request for a quieter room since I would be working from the hotel. Very pet friendly, my pup loves the balcony attached to the room. The Barrel Room had a great happy hour and the patio accommodated my pup. We enjoyed the spa as a Mother’s Day treat. All staff were very pleasant and wonderful.

It was conveniently located near Castroville and just far enough away that you didn’t have to deal with being in the middle of

Great staff, spacious room

Stayed in April 2025

The room and furnishings were nice, comfortable chairs, great bed with soft sheets and extra blanket and pillows. Balcony ok. Nice to have a safe. Keurig worked intermittently, but excellent complimentary coffee and tea in lobby. No glassware or real mugs as other boutique hotels have. No shower gel when we arrived but they brought some small tubes. Wall mount despensors not replenished. No shower cap, usual box amenities in bathroom. Towels, washcloths, hand towels were clean but frayed and needed replacing. Nice terry robes. Small older mini- fridge. OK microwave. Place has great potential with some minor changes. Needed more attention to detail when replenishing towels, soap, mid stay refresh. Great bakery in town called Haby's close by. (Please review what is expected for a boutique hotel and it will help get 5 star reviews.) Seemed understaffed, especially the restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant staff was friendly. Food was OK. Bar not stocked with selections of sparkling water like Pellegrino which is expected for boutique hotels. We wanted to give a higher rating but wanted to set proper expectations for others. We might return if in the area.

Adorable place. Weird dining schedule being that it is closed on Monday and Tuesday but everything else was nice.

I wish there had been a continental breakfast. Also, I called the office a few times and the phone rang and rang. The staff did reply fast to text messages.

The restaurant and bar are not open yet, but the facility is GORGEOUS! Beautifully decorated and the views are pretty. The rooms were spacious, clean and well designed. I was very comfortable during my stay and really appreciated the convenient location. I would book again!

The restaurant was closed.

The room was beautiful. From the stone floors to the barn door in the bathroom. The walk-in shower was simply perfect. The view from the balcony of the rolling hills was just gorgeous. Definitely ask for a 2nd floor room.

Room was way too dark. Not enough lighting in room. Husband and I are both 65 - that may make a difference. Room was cold and heat was not turned on yet. Had to use stairs to get to all of the rooms-even those on first floor.

Liked location. Was convenient to where we were visiting. Liked that owners are trying to upgrade the property.

I didn't like the fact I had to back home . The only thing was outside in the patio , we're bees. There were a few bee nest forming.

I love the view on my patio. The pool was great. And the hospitality was Great.

No restaurant, but I knew that going in so not surprised by it. But would have been the cherry on top, even tho it really didn’t even need it. Our entire stay was above our expectations!

Chris was our check in agent, extremely nice guy that went above and beyond to make my family and I feel comfortable. Gave us wonderful tips, was very willing to help with all my questions. Once we made it to the room we were blown away by the nice furniture and decor in the room. We took advantage of the pool, and pictures on website don’t do it justice for just how beautiful it truly is. The views from pool area and our room really made it that much more special. We will definitely be back and look forward to make it a tradition from here on out to stay at Hillside!

Everything about this place was very nice! The rooms were clean, nicely furnished, the landscaping was beautiful, and the swimming pool was pristine. Very cute boutique hotel! Can't wait to come back for a few more days of relaxing & taking in the views from the balcony!

Only think I didn't like is that I couldn't stay longer

The online pictures do NOT do this place justice. The room was adorable with a beautiful view from the balcony.
