Hillstone Inn Tulare, an Ascend Collection Hotel

From the office staff to the breakfast staff, everyone was pleasant and helpful. The beds were comfy and the room had toiletries, towels and pillows aplenty. Plenty of free parking around the hotel. There was a nice, hot breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, muffins, breads of all kinds, hot oatmeal, cereal, hot and cold beverages, etc. The breakfast room was well kept and quickly cleaned as people left the room. The hotel is 1 mile from a big box store and discount store, and just behind the hotel there are plenty of places to eat and a grocery store. The hotel is easy to get to off Hwy 101.

A lovely room with a big bed! Me and a friend were sharing to keep the costs low so the large bed was really appreciated. Because it was so cheap, I was expecting less but I was pleasantly surprised! Clean, comfortable, came with a fridge and a microwave plus a little coffee maker, towels of various sizes plus shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. Breakfast was simple but better than expected. Teas, coffees, juices, cereals, breads, muffins, bagels, eggs then a rotation of pancakes/sausages/french toast etc... Oh and they have a couple of waffle machines! As a vegetarian I was catered for.

Tastefully remodeled. Clean colorful and functional room. Detail of remodel was remarkable. Rarely have I seen paint, molding, fixtures so well done. The bathroom was very modern and sliding doors to the shower where 1st rate and smooth to slide. Showerhead was updated, but water flow was reduced. Probably due to district water restrictions in summer. USB outlets and a useful alarm clock. Lots of towels. Eight small pillows for a king bed.. Air conditioner was only thing old school. A little loud - but at least it offered to turn on fan Automatically or always on, we chose to leave it running to drown out some surface street noise. Breakfast was excellent, with 2 kinds of eggs - cheese w/ bacon 🥓 or straight up scrambled. French toast sticks w/ syrup. Waffles and cereals muffins too. And fruit. Surprised me all around.

Loved the design of the room, features, and modern finishes. Wood shutters as window coverings, mirrors, towel shelves, smart phone connection ports, bathroom sink & vanity, and lots of usable table space, and underneath space -- Awesome! And a fridge and microwave in addition was great. This type of room would be good for people who need extended stays.

I liked the room, modern remodel, clean (small) bathroom, excellent mirror lights, powerful (although noisy) AC. No nasty carpet =), pets welcome (didn't need it - this time, but great to know) Comfy bed, tons of pillows. Minifridge, elevator, ice machine, good breakfast with more options than just continental. Clean place with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location along the freeway and tons of restaurants, stores, gas stations around.
