Interesting variety of rooms in different size buildings in varied landscaping centered around a creek which was dry when we were there but still very pretty.

Best Hotel Experience
Staff at check-in was amazing! He let us check-in a few hours early. Very welcoming and professional. Room was very clean, beds were comfortable, and the view was so beautiful and tranquil. Highly recommend! Safe area during both the day and night. Planning to book again in a month or so!

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!

Very pretty and clean property.
The property is beautiful. One of the best features is that the property has a market/deli store that makes great sandwiches and snacks. Very convenient! Our room was clean, and the area is very quiet. The only thing is that the air conditioning was a swamp cooler, and it was noisy, but it did its job, and we appreciate that. The pool area is clean and inviting. I would stay here always when in the area.
