The check in team were awesome. We noticed the landscape was beautiful and peaceful. In our room you can tell it was clean and full of the nice to have small things, like robes, room safe, extra large bath towels, balcony with a creek view, bathroom accessory extras. Breakfast was from a fresh local bakery and we haven’t seen that in a long time. All items offered were fresh including the beverages etc. The only things i would note would be wish there were more outlets, one side of bed had none and with todays portable electronics that is a must. Walls are kinda thin so you can hear everything little noise. We would certainly stay here again, but ask for a corner unit in the back. This was an unexpected surprise place within the area and we haven’t seen and have stayed at others. Highly recommend the Creekside Inn!

The setting was lovely. Our room had a balcony that we could sit at our table and overlook the creek and gardens. It was very peaceful. We stayed on a Saturday night and the area and hotel are very quiet (appears the hotel had not sold out of rooms so not very many neighbors to make much noise at all). That being said, the sound insulation is such that we did hear a group of people as they were walking by and settling into their room but noise was over with quickly. We really enjoyed that we could take a run in the early morning on the nearby bike trails just down the street from the hotel. We would definitely stay there again. Oh, and the complimentary bottle of wine was definitely appreciated!

Cheep Continental breakfast

My stay was good it could have been better i picked this hotel because on the Hotels.com page this hotel came with breakfast included and then when i paid i didn't notice the free continental breakfast i didn't mind that i know it was my fault for not double checking but at 8:30am when i went in for the continental breakfast there was only 2 pieces of pastry and really nothing else never seen anything that cheap before and then when i go to the store and sandwich shop on property that is advertised on there site found out that they are closed on Sundays what kind of business is closed on the most occupied day i had to go 15 miles the other way when i checked out to get something to eat this hotel doesn't even have a soda machine on property
