The history is nice and she is now focused on family and children. Still needs a lot of updating. Difficult to get around.

I normally do not rate lodging unless there is an issue that they need to address but this is the exception. I could not recommend Hillcrest any higher. It was a treat to stay, great hostess with gourmet breakfasts. Well worth going out of the way to stay there.
