Have stayed many times visiting family in the area. Always clean, comfortable rooms and good service. I just wish the showers had normal water pressure. All are low due to flow restrictors and can barely get clean or even keep warm.

Beautiful grounds and gardening

Really beautiful grounds in a convenient location. Rooms are nice and clean, but the outdoor space is the main event at Creekside. There are beautiful sitting areas with fountains and gardens. Stunning and peaceful!
