I had been trying for several weeks to find the 'perfect' place for us to camp this week. On this…read moretrip was my husband, who was going to be working, and that was the entire purpose of the trip up north, my 17 year old son, my 10 year old black lab and myself. We have a motor home that I want to hook up to water and sewer. I didn't realize that was going to be such a big issue. I made phone calls up one side of the lake and down the other side. I was about to tell my husband that my son I were not going to be able to go with him on this trip until I talked to Elaine! She stated that they had the dates that I needed, they had water AND sewer, they could accommodate the size of my motor home. When we checked in, Elaine was so polite and helpful! The grounds at the site are beautiful! I can not say enough positive things. There was a group of men there for a fishing tournament, there were not any problems at all with the large group of gentlemen. The bottom line is, if you are looking for a nice place to camp or need to rent a room or a cabin this is the place to stay. These folks are all about the everyday people. They are down to earth like you and I. You can tell that they love what they do and that is their campground! Thank you for a great stay!! Brandy Lunt

Located on the edge of town, so there isn't anything interesting within walking distance. Excellent spot If you're leading a #vanlife or #camperlife and you want worry-free Internet during the daytime. After 5? The wifi of a wholly unreliable. A pool, river view, or bar/restaurant within walking distance would have made this perfect for us. Without something in this zone, it doesn't meet my 'resort' expectations.

This motel can be summed up in two words: Old school. This was your grandparent's motel. My room…read morewas smallish but serviceable, nice firm mattress and fresh bedding. There is a dorm size refrigerator, no other appliances. There was a flat screen tv although it was a shame to take it away from its mother. They should have thrown it back and let it grow a little more. Don't turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night, the candlepower puts Times Square to shame. The floor is concrete but finished with the most interesting faux marbling I've ever seen. The rate is reasonable but I would not say cheap. Cash speaks loudly here. The shower in my room was an adventure, I can't speak for the other rooms but the water was hot and plentiful. I found the largest bar of soap I've found in any hotel but be sure you have your own shampoo and such. There is no hair dryer, either. No continental breakfast included but there is a wide variety of food choices downtown, just a short drive south of the motel and good Karuba coffee at Kwik Trip. No staffing the office; there is a phone number posted on the door. Nice view of the river and I'd guess there are about 20 BNSF freight trains every hour. After the first couple of 'em, you won't even notice. And yes, I would stay here again if I found myself in the area.

I have stayed at many motels and hotels good and bad, but by far this was the worst place i have…read moreever lodged at!!! Laura, I believe it was the owner of this motel was the rudest most unprofessional innkeeper i have ever encountered! In the 2 nights my group and I stayed there (keep in mind we have stayed there for years on our annual fishing trip we do twice a year) had an attitude about everything. What pushed me over the edge was the 3 times she entered my room in the early am while i was sleeping to wake me repeatedly to ask me in a very rude and aggressive manor if my friends and I were going to stay another night. Then proceeded to tell me that she needed to know now because she did not plan on cleaning our rooms if we planned on staying another night. Im sorry but since when did it become optional to upkeep my paid room on a daily basis let alone enter my room uninvited while im sleeping? Completely unacceptable!!! To top off this "great service" she had also charged my card $40 to cancel a room that i never agreed to reserve. All of the twin sized beds they have are extremely soft. (not in a good way) My back and neck were tensed all day after sleeping in these beds. One television in 4 rooms actually worked. If you exceed 5' 8" or weigh over 160 pounds good luck getting in the bathroom because you probably wont fit. Hillcrest is conveniently located about 2 miles from the shuttle for The Great Alma Fishing Float. The only half decent thing this place had to offer was the community kitchen. It was a nice looking full kitchen and dining area. For you fishermen a nice fish cleaning area. That was located across the parking lot. Never have i encountered so much ignorance from an individual though. My opinion to you is find a different place to stay if you'd like a good night sleep, don't want to be rushed, disrespected, or ripped off!!!

There is a fabric store and bar on-site. Also, just a short walk to a gas station. Check out the views of the Mississipi dam.

Innkeeper Connie very friendly, and our room had a wonderful deck overlooking main street, railroad and river above Alma Dam. Walking distance to all town bars, restaurants and shops.

Continental breakfast was good, though coffee was Folgers; try one of the shops in town for better joe, or the cafe across the street for full breakfast. I would definitely go back.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed my stay- the 2 bedroom condo can totally sleep 8 comfortably. The place was clean and had nice amenities (full kitchen, huge closets). The reason I give the Willows only 3 stars is that the condo I stayed in felt like a condo and not a hotel. It lacks a certain something that makes you feel like you're on vacation. That may be a benefit for some who want to feel 'at home.' But I'd rather feel like I'm being treated on vacation.
