Creekside Inn - Bishop

We returned to this hotel, now Wayfinder Inn, after a good experience in 2022 with Creekside Inn. The positive: nicely furnished lobby, good location, comfortable beds, good breakfast buffet. The negative: poorly designed individual HVAC systems don't work properly, thin interior walls, some reception desk staff need additional training in customer service, in-room lighting is too dim to read a book by. Shout out to Carlos and to Tim, who did their jobs well. And to the front desk lady talking to computer tech support while I waited seven minutes for her to finish her call, please know that our time is valuable, even if we're not furiously pounding on your counter. The computer system is hinky and sent me duplicate bills. I complained about roasting in a west-facing room with no A/C. The tech reset the system, but it still failed. After a second night of cooking, I was relocated to a cooler downstairs north-facing room with working A/C. Readers, please make sure your A/C is working properly. Several other guests had faulty HVAC units, too.

Stayed in Creekside Inn on our way to visit family in Reno. Stayed on our way there and once again on our way back home. Very nice experience. Rooms are quiet and very nicely decorated with comfortable beds. The staff is warm and inviting. Highly recommend this hotel while visiting the Bishop area or just driving through on your way to somewhere else.

I had not been to Bishop California before and was making a road trip from Arizona to Nevada to California. Not knowing when or where we would be, we found ourselves heading to Bishop one evening and decided to stay somewhere other than a limited-service hotel. If you are going to Bishop, The Creekside Inn, is the best hotel in town. The ambiance is great, the location is stellar, and the people are phenomenal....even the daily breakfast was a hit. We were lucky enough to reserve a creekside room, so we could hear the water at night...highly recommend!

Bedbugs! I awoke after one night in Creekside Inn on March 22nd, 2024 with quarter inch size round red bumps on my entire right shoulder blade. I noticed it all day itching. That afternoon we compared it to pictures on the Internet and it looked likeBEDBUGS. We spoke with the general manager who told us we couldn’t prove it was BEDBUGS and then if we didn’t see them VISUALLY THEN we didn’t have BEDBUGS. I told him that bedbugs can’t always be seen and he said are” you calling me a liar”. I asked him to refund our second night because we would not sleep in the bed and he said NO TO REFUND, then we asked for another room and he said NO, then we asked for clean sheets and he said NO TO CALLING HOUSKEEPING IN. We did not stay the second night, and they did not refund us. I returned home and visited my dermatologist. I still have a residual area of redness and bumps. She said it’s Highly likely BEDBUGS and she has seen it before. She wrote out of diagnosis on a prescription sheet With diagnosis: likely bedbugs. In addition I had to go home, wash all our clothing , isolate our suitcases etc. it was a weeklong process. It is a bit of a nigh**are, because we don’t know if any of the bedbugs made it to our home! I would not recommend this hotel. It has BEDBUGS to the best of my knowledge.!! EXTREMELY INDIGNANT, RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE BY THE GENERAL

This was our first time staying here and we are so glad we did. The hotel is well Maintained and overall nice, the rooms are clean and comfy. The breakfast buffet was a hit The staff were really friendly and accommodating they covered to put our frozen stuff in the staff freezer for us. Loads of parking and good food Nextdoor at the bowling alley

We have stayed at this hotel 4 years ago, and decided to come back through Bishop and stay again. Our first experience was wonderful. This time around was very disappointing. When I went to check in, I had booked a Creekside room bottom floor and payed extra. $350 to be exact for one night. When I finished with paying for the room when we got there, I was told our room was on the second floor. I had said to the person at the front that I had booked the bottom floor creekside room. She started to argue with me and say that it was only showing her that I had booked a 2 bed room that it didn’t show which room. I then pulled up my original reservation that I had booked 2 months in advance that showed her what room I had originally booked. She still proceeded to tell me that she didn’t know if that room was still available. What??? So I asked her if all the rooms were the insane price I had paid and she never answered me. But, low and behold the room I had actually booked was available. She then asked me to send her a copy of my original booking so that she could show management. She was very rude and started my night off with a sour taste. We then after unloading our vehicle and children get into the room, and well there was nothing new, just out dated furniture with a broken lock on the sliding door. We then ordered food and wanted to sit next to the fire pit by our room. We couldn’t figure out how to turn it on and called the front desk. We got a “there is a button you need to push.” Okay, I then told her there was no button and if she could send someone down to help us…my next response was “we don’t do that”. Okay well I guess this will be the last visit to this over priced, rude employee hotel again. Oh and they are adding a bar which will probably make the rooms way more money.

Things sadly seem to have gone downhill since our previous visits, most recently 5 years ago. The deep brown walls & furnishings made our room very dark even with all the lights on. Depressing. After dinner we wanted to relax and watch a movie, but there were no premium channels or streaming apps available. The wifi was so slow, with constant buffering and connection interruptions, that we couldn't watch anything on our laptop either. The breakfast area was unpleasantly messy and the tables weren't being cleaned after use. Many of the food items needed to be refilled. The "hot water" for tea was tepid. There is a $20 fee per night, but for what I can't imagine. Surely not the anemic wifi or "complimentary" breakfast. That plus the relatively high room rates make Creekside Inn a poor value and we will look elsewhere next time.

The hotel was excellent. Great public area with a fireplace. Good place to read or play a game. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was quite good with sufficient space for guests. The staff were pleasant and helpful and there was sufficient parking. My only complaint is the $40 ($20/night) for hotel services — with no explanation as to what this was for. It would have been far more appropriate to simply raise the daily room rental than tack on a charge for services (particularly when no services were provided).
