Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mostly described as clean in many reviews, but there are multiple isolated issues (yellow/orange residue around toilet base, one report of a bed bug) that lower the cleanliness score.
Service
8.5
Staff frequently described as friendly, helpful and accommodating; a small number of comments note less-engaged front-desk behavior, but overall service is a clear strength and is rated above average to reflect consistent positive mentions.
Location
8.5
Location is repeatedly noted as convenient (right off main street, in front of a Walmart, within walking distance of a good restaurant), making this a strong aspect of the property.
Room Quality
6.5
Room size and comfort are mixed: several guests praised spacious/large rooms, but there are consistent complaints about bed firmness, smaller-than-expected beds (queens that felt like fulls), and the bed-bug incident which notably reduces this score.
Amenities
8.5
Amenities are well-regarded in reviews (good breakfast, shuttle service, fresh cookies, accessible rooms with walk-in showers and grab bars); these positive mentions support a strong amenities score.
Value for Money
6.8
Value is mixed—some guests felt the hotel was pricier than expected for the area and described it as 'mediocre' for the price, though others found it reasonable given the convenience and breakfast; this produces a slightly below-target value score.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast is frequently praised as better than expected and there are strong mentions of a terrific nearby Mexican restaurant; in-house F&B impressions are positive overall.
Overall Experience
8.4
Most guests report a positive stay with friendly staff, cleanliness, and useful amenities; isolated but serious negatives (bed bug, bathroom plumbing/cleanliness issues) temper the score but the overall sentiment is favorable.

Pros:

My family and I had a positive experience at this hotel. It was right off the main street and right in front of a Walmart which was convenient. It was clean and a quick and easy check on/check out. Everyone was friendly. I think our two queen beds were actually full size beds though. So that's the reason for only four stars. It was a rough night sleep in a smaller bed. But definitely a good option if you're in the area.

Mediocre hotel with good Mexican restaurant nearby
Pros:

This is a very mediocre hotel at a higher-than-reasonable price, but there are few other options in Creston. The front desk staff was friendlier than in previous years, and breakfast was reasonable, but the place just seems seedy. The best thing about staying here is the terrific Mexican food restaurant within walking distance.

Pros:

I had Room #173 which was handicap accessible & a walk-in shower. The room was clean & comfortable. My only request is that the entry doors be ADA. I was using a walker & manually opening doors was tricky. I would stay again in the future.
