Unique Place
A nice, no-frills place that is reminiscent of the roadside motels of yesteryear. No contact check-in, check-out worked out fine. Nicely groomed area around the motel. Met all of our expectations.

Must stay!
We stayed here on our way to Estes. It was a last minute stop before continuing on the next day. I fell in love with it! Trying to figure out how to go back soon! The courtyard, the room, everything! Love it!

A hidden gem
The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are very well kept. The rooms was very clean and well furnished. This area of town was very quiet with little traffic.

Very nice room. Appeared to be recently remodeled. My only complaint was the window AC unit, as I prefer quiet when sleeping. Bed was super comfortable.

Time Travel
Parking was a bit confusing at first but was actually great. No contact check in was efficient. My room #7 was a "blast from the past" with some plumbing eccentricities. It has been a long time since I had a room with a bar! The shag rug and leather couch was like time travel to my youth. We even had some cowhide influence. I love a place with a 50s motel vibe. Especially when the place is SPOTLESS and has great towels. The TV and Wi-Fi worked great too. I would definitely stay here again.

When I turned the lights out to go to sleep I had bugs crawling on me they were large Beetles that started to crawl up my arms. It was very difficult to sleep after that. It was also very humid in the room.

Glad we stayed at Crest!
Quaint old motel. Rooms have been remodeled at some point. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Normally a Hilton guy, but really enjoyed staying here off the beaten path.

This is a hidden gem! Beats any local chain and at a very affordable price. We had a nice I’d call it 2 room suit. Definitely will stay hear again and recommend to everyone!
