Top Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Hillsborough

8/10 Good

"First I will say the front desk folks were friendly and helpful the entire stay but the hotel needs some love and attention. First morning the elevator did not work and the front desk person had no instructions on how to get it up and running. Our coffee maker in room had been used as a diffuser and there were no additional ones to replace it. Finally the last night the fire alarm started chirping at 4AM and again the front desk clerk had no access to batteries. Seems like management and maintenance need some work. This place fit us well for a show we were working nearby. Clean and comfortable. Small rooms and a light breakfast is offered."

2 Queen Bed Smoking

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to where I wanted to be. Easy check in and gave me a choice of room. Easy check out"

Modern And Cozy House In The Heart Of Hillsborough

10/10 Excellent

"I’d recommend this place. This was recently updated and had everything we needed. The location worked well. It was a bit noisy at times being on a busy street. Close to downtown which was active when we were there. Good food and art along with nice trails to enjoy but we needed to drive to them. In the master bath it is a tighter squeeze to get into the shower but it was all new. It all worked."

Newly Renovated Carriage House in quaint, historic Hillsborough; quiet location

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay in the Carriage House. We had everything we needed and then some. Didn't make it to downtown Hillsborough this time since we were only seven miles from our grandkids! Can't wait to return - hopefully before the end of the year!"

The Perfect Getaway on 2.5 Acres in Hillsborough

We definitely felt home away from home… Thank you so much to the host! Communication was flawless. Look forward to our next visit in the fall."

King Bed Non-Smoking
