“Clean and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Spent 2 nights in Creel. This seems to be the most promising place to stay in town. Rooms were comfortable, and the gas heater kept us plenty warm (even though temperatures got down to 25F). The motel itself certainly is big. That said, there was only one other party besides us in the entire place when we were there. Unfortunately, they were put in the room immediately adjacent to ours, and several times at night (for inexplicable reasons) tried to enter our room through the locked door linking this apparent suite (?). The night watchman (I hope?) also paid us a little visit late at night as well. I'm sure he meant well, but keep your doors locked.

The restaurant - given the lack of guests - was uninviting. We got spaghetti served at the bar. It was okay. Tried the attached cafe for lunch. Menu was original and food was good, but count your change carefully. They tried to take me for several hundred pesos. Veronica's seems to be the best place to eat in town. We had a dinner and breakfast there, and they were both excellent. Very popular with the locals, too. Every other place in town was empty.

3 Amigos offers an interesting array of options for things to do in the area. However, if you're not inclined to rent vehicles, there isn't much to see or do walking around. We wandered up the hill with the Christ statue on it for a nice vista across the town. The cultural museum (just west of the plaza across the tracks) is good, with some labels in English if your Spanish isn't too good. There are lots of tourist shops selling native crafts along the main street. If that's what you're after, skip them all and just go to the Mission Artesan's store on the plaza. They have by far the biggest selection, best prices, and nicely displayed.

“Disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2009

person found this review helpful

We had dinner, bed and breakfast in this hotel, for one evening, which was supposed to be the best hotel in Creel.

It is very centally located and only a couple of minutes walk from the railway station.

From the outside it is quite an attactive wooden building with wooden chalets for the accomodation. The rooms were spacious and the bed was comfortable. However the room was not clean and the shower was the worst I've ever seen - just a dribble.

The food was average and the service not very good in the restaurant. On the plus side the bar was nice and the barman who was working that evening gave good service

“Clean hotel, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2009

person found this review helpful

My wife and I and our three young children stayed here in early November for one night out of four during our Copper Canyon trip. The hotel is clean and modern, and the staff were friendly. Ing. Baca Beck, the Manager was very helpful at all times. My wife needed a doctor and Ing. Baca walked me half a block to show me the nearest doctor's office. The rooms are roomy, warm and cozy, with a gas heater. We ate at La Cascada about a block down the street and it was great. We also ate breakfast at the Best Western but found it a bit expensive. The guide we had was good and we did tours #1 and #2 which gave us a good feel for the area south of Creel. The hotel had despensas (like food bank bags) made up for purchase to give away to the Tarahumara families. We did that and appreciated that the hotel staff have a social conscience and provided that opportunity to their guests. The Tarahumaran people we met seemed to appreciate it. It made our visit much more memorable. There were other foreign guests at the hotel during our stay, from France and Germany. We are a Mexican-Canadian family, coming from Mexico City. We enjoyed our stay.

“Nice accomodations in a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2009

Since we had a package with Tres amigos I don’t know how much we paid for any of our hotels. This was one of the best we had. It had a heater, a large TV and a phone and, it was a large room with a cabin lodge theme. Not much to do in Creel itself. Food in the hotel was ok but not great. They had Internet but was expensive, there is a place for 1/3 of the price a couple of stores down. We had a very nice tour of the gorgeous area. We ate at Veronicas and it was ok. Our Tres Amigos tour guide was very courteous with my mother. I just hate it when they start making excuses as of why Mexico is so corrupt, it is the Spaniard inheritance (even though you don’t find this in Spain and they are long gone) is the Catholic Church fault (yes, they were pretty bad) , is the United States fault (They should have taken the entire continent)! It is never their fault! Everyone thinks they might as well be corrupt because if they don’t steal someone else will anyway. People don’t pay taxes and then complain there is no infrastructure! This same people consider themselves “honest”. Will it ever get better?

“charming cabin with porch swings”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2009

person found this review helpful

the highlight was a porch swing and the rooms were attached cabins with gas heater stoves. really cute room, comfortable, and tv with limited cable with english programs. only drawback was loud fan in bathroom and weird clangy noise from adjoining room. this is the first place i've seen in mexico that's actively recycling everything including batteries. what a great thing to see. hotel restaurant had yummy oatmeal and attached cafe had good sandwiches and was a nice place to hang out having a cup of coffee. did not have a decent meal in any of the restaurants (except breakfast at hotel). in town there's limited shopping or things to do except hike up to the Christ statue. 3 Amigos has lots to offer like renting bikes, scooters etc. but we didn't time it right so missed out. very relaxing at the hotel and weather was nice and cool, just what we wanted, an escape from heat and humidity of mazatlan.
