Nice place to stay

I was pleasantly surprised with how nice of an accommodation Hilltop was. We stayed in the "motel" part, but after finding out about the lack of places to eat in Grand Marais, I probably would've opted for the cabin so that we could cook. It was a very nice, clean, quiet place to stay and close to everything in Grand Marais, including Sable Falls and the log slide overlook.

Beautiful deck to watch the sunset.

His was a reasonably priced motel room. It was clean with basic features. The walls are thin so hopefully you have quiet neighbors. A beakfast of pastries and coffee was included. I would suggest better quality coffee and something with protein for breakfast. The location was close to town. We would stay there again but would be more inclined to rent a cabin to make it easier to cook.

Cozy stay

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin. It was clean and lovely. Not great water pressure in shower. The continental breakfast had very few options so we had to go elsewhere. Otherwise the owners were friendly. The area is gorgeous.

Peaceful location close to beach

I needed to find an escape to recharge myself an I was not disappointed in my stay at Hilltop Cabins and Motel. It was so quiet and peaceful I did not want to return home. I have already recommended this place to all my friends. I stayed in the opossum room and can't wait to return in warmer weather so I can sit outside on the deck reading and enjoying the view.

Bugs in bed

This was a holiday weekend.When we arrived everything was ok but I took a nap and woke up to bugs in the bed. The manager/owner said "Oh I thought we got them all" which means they knew about this problem already. They should have called me. Then I spent an hour trying to find another place to stay which doubled my price. Bad business.

Left my heart here

We were informed our room would be upgraded to a bigger cabin due to a maintence issue with the one we booked. It was an ungrade we considered possibly doing anyway, which impressed us. The cabin was clean and tidy. The view was incredible. The land is very intermingling friendly. The bonfire pits were enjoyed. The continental breakfast is small but very perfect for the season. The owners are very friendly. We loved every single thing about Hilltop Cabins. We even booked our upgraded cabin for the same time next year. I think it will be an annual thing.

super cute cabin

When we first arrived, the owner was out doing a supply run, but she left a note telling us what cabin we were in with doors unlocked so we could get in. Unfortunately, because of weather, our plans had to be changed and she was really helpful in letting us know what else we could do for the day.

Beautiful View

Definitely I would recommend this hotel! Our only complaints were 1) at 11:00 p.m. kids were still running around yelling, which was a distraction to sleep; b) there was no breakfast available when they said it would be - only old cereal and day old muffins and c) the toilet was extremely low to the ground, so it made it difficult for an older tall male to sit down. These sound very petty; overall, it was great. Loved the cute headboards and the beds were to die for comfort wise! Great parking and easily accessible to Grand Marais. Owner extremely cordial. There was an outdoor patio near the checkin where you could sit and watch Lake Superior - gorgeous view. We had a wonderful stay!
