The property was clean and well decorated and a nice area. The check-in process was seamless as well as the checkout process.. unfortunately the amenities that we paid for didn’t work the bathtub would not fill with hot water as the hot water would run ice cold after 2 to 3 minutes I contacted the property manager and the property itself and no one ever got back to me. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of response to this issue as it was the only reason that my fiancé and I chose to celebrate our engagement and was looking forward to being able to relax and enjoy all of the amenities offered in the listing..

Creekside is a really cute hotel. There is not a front desk. Your codes etc are sent to you via text. You can always contact them if you need something. They have a no children or pet policy yet I saw a baby and a medium size dog staying at the hotel. The location is great as well.

The Creekstone is the nicest hotel in Idyllwild, bar none. If you're looking for an upscale experience for a reasonable price, this is it. Fully renovated property just a short time ago, this place is really nice! The front deck/patio area is awesome for chilling out in the evening and cranking the automatic firepits. Rooms are modern and well appointed. What's unique about this place is there are no keys, no on site staff most of the day, and everything is done via Smart Locks, including the front door to the property. Once your reservation is confirmed, you receive a code before you check in, and that controls access to the property as well as your room. If you need anything, you can text the property manager, and they take care of it. The downtown area (shopping and dining) is only about a mile away, so you can walk if the weather is cooperating, otherwise it's a quick drive down the hill. Overall just an outstanding experience!!! Oh and bonus, they have a commercial Ice Maker downstairs in the back lobby! Gratis and awesome, summer or winter. Casper mattresses, nice fridge's, and K-Cup coffee makers too :) Large screen TV, views out every window, and a running creek across the street. If you don't like staying in an old cabin, or really old Motels, this is the spot for you :)) Highly recommend it, great experience.

Idyllwild

This establishment truly exceeded our expectations. Despite booking last minute while attending a film festival nearby, we were thoroughly impressed. The staff greeted us with warmth and went above and beyond to assist us throughout our stay. The accommodations were impeccable, boasting cleanliness and offering all the necessary amenities for a comfortable experience. Without a doubt, we will be making plans to revisit this exceptional place in the future.

The manager asked me 4 times, in separate conversations, what work my service dog performed and if I had a disability. One time should have sufficed but he said he’d worked as a TSA agent and did not believe my responses. He also said I wasn’t truthful when I told him I stayed there last year, which I did exactly a year ago. He then read me a long dissertation on ADA rules and told me the property had cameras in my room and in the hotel that they would be watching to make sure I, as a service dog handler and my dog were “at all times in complete compliance.” The rules are undestandable and there same in many properties but I’ve NEVER been grilled in this way before. He and another staff member told me on the phone, before my arrival, that if either I or my dog were in any way out of compliance they would remove us without refund. This badgering made me feel so singled out for my disability, and ultimately harassed, that I forfeited my payment for the first of two nights, delayed arrival until midnight the second night and left before 8 am. There is no one working onsite. My experience was that the place feels like a soulless motel. Will not return.
