Calling them a "hole" is a bit of a misnomer. They're basically just a giant, massive hunk of mass - kind of like an enormous planet or star. The reason that we call them a hole is that they suck in everything around them - even light - so they're a "hole" in what we can actually observe.
So to answer your question, the experience of getting sucked into one wouldn't be that different from getting sucked into a star aside from the fact that you would be ripped apart into tiny little atoms and then added to the giant mass rather than burned up.
(But all that being said, we've never actually observed anything like that, so that's just in theory.)
