We just returned from the Hiltop Inn. Spent our anniversary there. It was fabulous! The inn itself was amazing. It was recently renovated and opened as an inn within the past year or so. Having only 5 rooms, the place is delightful and private. it is across the street from the Viking Inn, which has received very poor reviews on this site. Anyway, the Hilltop is the sister Inn to The Francis Malbone Inn. The Malbone is right on Thames Street, which I thought might be too noisy, so we picked the Hilltop. It was a very easy walk from the Hilltop to the Thames Street shops and restaurants. The Hilltop was on a busy corner (right on Bellevue and Kay streets), and our room, the Bellevue Suite, faced right onto this intersection. So it was a bit noisy when trucks went by, but the top-quality windows provided good insulation from most of the regular street noise. AC was provided with in-room controls and was very quiet. The other second floor rooms were probably a lot quieter, but our room had a separate living room, with a pull out sofa. The bath was great, with a large two-person shower and two-person jacuzzi. There were 3 flat screen tv's in the suite, including one in the bathroom. Also, wireless internet free in all rooms. The baked goodies at tea and at breakfast were homemade and delicious. There is a choice of 2 entrees at breakfast, a savory (an omelet) and a sweet (blueberry pancakes). These were cooked to order, and even though everyone in the inn showed up for breakfast at once, the delightful inkeeper deftly handled the crowd, and we were on our way to the mansions after a satisfying repast. The only negative was that the pullout sofa was very uncomfortable, according to our 12yo son. He is not a complainer at all, so, I would not count on an adult being able to sleep on it. But overall, this is a 5 star place. We waited until the last minute to make reservations, to make sure the weather would be good, and by waiting until the last minute, we were able to get a great last minute weekday rate, even though it is still prime season. So, if it seems too expensive for your budget, and you can wait until the day or so before,give them a call. The rate was even lower than listed on the website under last minute prices.
