Aurora, Indiana doesn't try hard to impress you, and that's exactly the part of its charm. It's a river town – the kind where Route 50 still carries truckers and travelers through town, where Ohio moves slow and wide past a skyline of church steeples and one grand old Victorian mansion.
Hillcrest Motel sits right along that route, a low-rise stretch of rooms where a long drive can finally pause. Here you can pull in, settle down, and leave the rest of the road plans till tomorrow. The essentials are handled well, and you can get on with your trip fresh and ready when it's time to leave. This place makes the night easy for travelers.
Some travelers arrive at Hillcrest after a long day on the road; others come because they know about this place. What they have in common is simple: they want somewhere comfortable and cared for. That’s what we built Hillcrest for – a motel in Aurora, IN, where the welcome is straightforward, there’s no unnecessary fuss, and the night can simply be the night.
