Crestview Inn — Hotel in Crestview

I stayed here for the price; it's a very reasonable one and I kept in mind that I was getting what I paid for. The gentleman at the front desk was nice and friendly, but surprised me when he explained to my boyfriend and me that we can't have the heaters on at the same time, and that we'd have to plug everything in when we got to the room.

It was a cold day, so naturally when we entered the room the first thing we did was turn on the heater...sort of. The bathroom heater was absolutely archaic and didn't work. The heater in the room worked in bursts and had a broken knob, so there was no way of adjusting it. Since the room was a little chilly, we cuddled up that night and I noticed there were holes in the sheets and bedspread; it was all clean and smelled fresh though, so no big deal (again, getting what I paid for).

There weren't any problems within the room that I couldn't handle; the thing I didn't appreciate came from housekeeping. Check out time is 11:00 am. On the morning of checkout, my boyfriend and I were getting dressed and packing our bags when there was a loud knock on the door. We said "just a moment", but before we could get to the door, housekeeping screamed "You have fifteen minutes!". I did not appreciate that one bit. I am fully capable of telling time and do not need some woman that I don't know yelling at me, telling me that I've got to leave. Around 10:55, we started taking our things out to the car, when housekeeping came by again. This time she took the key from us, then just stood in the doorway. She noticed we had food on the table and said "you're not allowed to cook in here." Well lady, seeing as no one told us that and we were leaving, it was a moot point...but still unappreciated.

Crestview Inn is very rough around the edges; could definitely be a great place if the owner spruced it up a bit. If my experience with housekeeping didn't happen, I would probably have stayed there again. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to crash, this works, but keep in mind that you get what you pay for (which apparently includes a rude...

This is the place you go when you have lost all hope. Rated as a 2 star I would offer this peculiar place a 1/4 star if I was approached by the star awarding board of America. There were stains everywhere. Stains on the bed sheets, stains on the comforter, stains on the pillowcases, bath towels and probably other places that I didn't even notice. There were holes in the comforter and bath towels as well. I am truly doubting they washed the sheets at all as there was hair on them and they had a funky smell. There was a footrest at the base of the bed that probably was cute back in the 60's but hadn't been washed since Jesus had walked the earth in a humble robe. The bed was unique. They put a mattress on top of a box spring and then tried to sell you on the whole, "buy one get one free" concept by adding another mattress on top of the first mattress that was a memory foam wannabe that lost its memory and dropped out of school back in 86. I kid you not. When I laid on this thing, the top mattress started to fold around me...like a burrito. But no, not a delicious. No no. A dry, flaky 2 day old burrito that you can't revive even after letting the microwave puts it's moisturizing lotion on it and dumping 10 spoonfuls of taco sauce on it. This mattress was becoming a body bag for me. Upon arrival the owner decided to cancel my 3rd party booking so he did not have to share the benefits bestowed upon him with any other company offered by the paying customer. He then tried to charge me more for my pet than previously mentioned on the phone just 30 minutes prior. Truly, This is a great place to film a murder/mystery. Think Stephen king. Perhaps "It." Picture the 2nd part of the movie when the kids are adults and they are staying in that hotel and all of them are being slaughtered and what not. Yeah, that hotel. Except worse and honestly, less clowns. Don't stay here....just...

The ACs are tiny, set inside much larger grates, presumably from larger units that would actually cool the rooms in 100° weather, that are duct-taped into the space Our room, which the man running the motel stated was the "best AC unit" on the premises, the temperature increased. No fan in the bathroom. The room was tiny, even for the price, and so a refund was issued without any other options offered. He was clearly fed up with my complaint about the room. As we were leaving, he entered our room with a plank of wood and more duct tape to seal off the opened space for the small AC unit to cool the room. This "repair" might have done the trick and kept the room at an acceptable degree, but instead he sent us back out into the insufferable heat to find another room. Bear in mind, the refund would take 2-3 business days to be credited to my account. I would pay heed to the low rating of this lodging venue. I was not allowed to enter the office space where he enjoyed the AC, having to check-in & out through a tiny window right next to the hot air blower of the office's window unit. Excess heat can cause irritability, and I am not immune to that. This situation could have easily been handled much better by management. The dilapidated structure on the property is a good example of this establishment that somehow remains...
