Not Creekside Inn—but Creek Inside!
Warning. I believe there are many fake 5-star reviews that have inflated the rankings of this place. A “sweet and quaint Inn,” as one review states, this is not! Read the 1-star reviews. This is a cheap 1-star at best motel. Check-in is in the cramped “breakfast” room (but I wouldn’t eat anything here).
Our room was musty when we walked in. The reason became obvious in the morning, wait for it. But let’s start with night. When we arrived it was too late and we were too tired to find a room elsewhere, call an uber, and leave, after having checked in. Our room was at the end of the motel, furthest from the front desk area, up against the swampy creek. It felt very isolated out there and on the ground floor. Who knew if it would be gators or someone else coming to get us-felt like the southern version of the Bates Motel.
So we took the ironing board off the wall where it was hanging and leaned it up against the door so if someone were to break in, the clattering noise would awaken us. We need not have done so, because sleep eluded us in any event. First, the paper thin walls allowed us to clearly hear the TV in the adjacent room. When finally the neighboring guests turned off their TV, the thunder storm began and it sounded like it was raining inside the room.
When the wee hours of morning came and brought sufficient light through the not fully able to close blind slats, we found in fact, it had rained-inside our room. Complete with water covering the floor and soaking the rug under the bed. I assess the likelihood that this place will remove the bed and the rug underneath it to be zero. And the water must have shorted out the plugs, because they stopped working at some point in the night, and we discovered our phones were only half charged.
The bathroom was so disgusting we didn’t want to use the shower. Mold and rust around the tub edges. Possible mouse droppings on the desk. Crumbs and debris on the unswept floor. We kept our shoes on to avoid touching it. Unfortunately, our shoes ended up in the standing water on the floor in the morning. But on a positive note the water may just wash away the crumbs and debris.
In the morning when a hotel worker came in at our request to assess the standing water in the middle of the room, although he insisted it had never happened previously, he went straight to the area behind the bedside tables where we believed the water had entered. When I pointed out that a bedside table was peeling at the legs and clearly had been wet previously, he didn’t reply.
As with all the other one-star reviews, my guess is, the “management” will write 10 five-star reviews to try and move this one down the page Then they will write a response to this review, expressing their apology for not meeting our expectations, and assuring us they will make a better effort to clean, repair whatever defect allowed water to get in and flood the floor, and invite us to return on a future visit. Please don’t bother. We will not return. To anyone reading this-please, save yourselves, save your marriages, read the one-star reviews first, and...
