Some people like the predictability and consistency of chain hotels; others like the charm and character of boutique lodgings -- you probably know which category you fall into. This hotel is definitely in the latter category and many other reviews will fill you in on the details. Having spent one night here, there is one issue I wanted to highlight, though, for travelers making that decision. If you have allergies or respiratory issues, this is not the hotel for you. My room and those of others in my traveling party had HVAC issues. Each room is cooled by an individual window unit and in my room, there was no way to open a window. The unit in my room had an overpowering odor of mildew, so bad that I had to turn it off completely -- then the room was stuffy, with no way to air it out. There are also a lot of decorative objects in the rooms, corridors and public spaces which can attract dust. In sum, the indoor air quality is iffy at best. The staff at the hotel went out of their way to be accomodating and helpful. The location is excellent with many shops and restaurants nearby. There are a lot of things to like about this hotel, but just go in with your eyes open.

Our stay was great!. Our reservation was made for two queen beds however when we checked in was given an upgrade to a King suite. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The breakfast provided in the morning was plentiful and offered many options. The pool and hot tub were busy with many children which is fine so we didn't stay long due to the crowd. We have been to other hotels that have adult swim after 9 pm which makes it nice for those traveling without children. Overall, it was a great stay.

Our first visit was July, 2023 and Hilltop Inn now Hill side Inn quickly became our favorite place to stay while in Berlin. Great location. Great views. Great room. Great Innkeeper. Great breakfast. However, Hillside is in transition to new owners. From an Inn to an Air BB. Location, view and room have not changed. However, what is missing is the Innkeeper who was on site to assist during the day. Missing is daily room service. Missing is the delicious breakfast prepared each morning by the Innkeeper. Missing is any personal contact with someone associated with Hillside. Everything is completed prior to arrival. An envelope with our name is on the desk with room key. Checkout we left the key in the room. Shout out to Dianna who is answering all the phone calls and emails. I am sure in this transition she is receiving many of both. Very pleasant and helpful. Most rooms have a two-door access. One to the former dining area and one outside. I do not know and did not check if the front entry door to the Inn was every locked. A security concern. The kitchen is available for use. Although we did not use, previous guests had and left dirty dishes in the sink. Dishes were there from at least a Thursday to Sunday. I appreciate Hillside did honor our reservation made during the previous owner. Same price and since no breakfast provided, we were given 2 $10 vouchers per day to Boyd and Wurthmann and $20 for Sunday breakfast. We will be considering if a return visit is in our future. We enjoyed all the amenities of the former Inn rather than an Air BB setting. Great place. Just not the same
