Hill Island is the perfect place for outdoor hiking, our trip was great with endless adventures from forestry to good prices on weekdays. The hotel staff was helpful and knowledgeable on the surroundings of Hill Island. I would definitely recommend the hotel for people who love the outdoors and don't mind a little bit of adventure. The BBQ day was... More

The good: nice Indian family runs it; new tile in lobby, room clean, freshly painted halls, newer bedspread. The bad: threadbare towels (not even good enough for rags), stinky soap, slipshod breakfast -(the tiniest bit of presentation would improve it 100%), creaky balcony one could fall through- with trashy old chairs, no view, wifi only works in lobby. The ugly:... More

I don't have a real complaint about this hotel. It is what I expected. There is certainly good and not so good. Our room was HUGE! It had everything we needed. There was a fridge, great tv, and coffee maker. I loved having a balcony I could go out on and sit. The place is certainly not new but once... More

Very old and family run. No professionalism. Rooms are painted block and smell musty. Very basic provisions. Website very misleading. Not worth the money. Unable to connect to WiFi in rooms. Did not stay for duration of reservation. I do not recommend this as a good stay.

Hill Island was probably a "resort" at one time; now it's a basic motel. Good: reception area is appealing; staff was nice; pool was clean and warm; motel is very close to US border; breakfast buffet had plenty of very basic food- bread, cereal, juice, coffee. Other travelers said there is entertainment (karaoke?) evenings. Not so good: Price was OK,... More

The website totally misleads the consumer. The room was horrible facing the back. The airconditioning was old, noisy and did not cool the room. This family run lodge needs a professional to revamp the place to cater to fare paying consumers. The TV in the room did not work and when requeted for assistance, we were just talked down. There...

It looked like paradise when we booked it in April after we saw the pictures displayed on their website, we thought it was a waterfront hotel. We were shocked upon arrival because the pics were for a castle on the 1000 islands, and when they showed us the room, it smelled so damp and humid. Thank God we switched to... More
