My sixteen year old son and I were driving home from Denver and needed a place to stay the night on the road. We chose Hilltop based solely on tripadvisor reviews. Terri, the owner asked when we would be arriving. We arrived embarrassingly late, after closing, and woke Terri from her sleep. Terri was gracious, friendly and welcoming. Check-in was... More

We have stayed at several local motels in the area and this was a pleasant surprise! Staying more than a day or two, this was perfect. We were able to cook our own meals in the kitchenette and was so much nicer than the motel experience. We felt like it was our apartment. It isn't new and could use a... More

Hilltop Motel is one of the gems of Clear Lake. Lots for the kids to do while the parents relax. Nice pool, hot tub, game room and lawn games - something for everyone. There are grills and picnic tables and even an oven under a large covered patio. Terri and Jay (the owners and hosts) make everyone feel like royalty.... More

This is a hidden gem, right out in the open. Two blocks from the lake, it is right next to all the action. They have everything you could want here. Awesome back porch with grills and all the utensils you would need with tables to eat at while the kids play in the pool. The rooms are outfitted with fridges... More

We have been going to the Hilltop for a few years now and we absolutely love it! The atmosphere is great and you couldn't ask for better hosts...they always make us feel like VIP's! My kids love the pool & hot tub and we love sitting around the patio enjoying a cold beverage. There is no better place to relax!

The Hilltop is one of those magical places that you cannot believe it until you see it and stay there. The Hilltop is located on North Shore. Very close to restaurants, lounges,... More

I stay at the Hilltop twice a year; one for a family event for up to 5 days and the other for a long weekend. Terri and Jay are always very accommodating to my needs and treat you like you are the VIP guest. They interact with the guests and work hard to make sure you are relaxed and enjoying... More

The Hilltop is fantastic, and what makes it so great are the wonderful people that run it. The service and respect you get makes you really feel at home. It is very peaceful, no matter what you want to do. Hang out by the pool, BBQ on the patio, sit in the hot tub, or play a game of bean... More

we have gone every summer for the last couple years and have had the best of times. The kids love to swim, it is a nice family atmosphere, and Jay and Terri are wonderful hosts. It is so nice and relaxing and close to places. The rooms are awesome with different themes.
