Don’t get me wrong the lady was good, but the hotel needs a big make over, rooms need a make over as well. The room I had the cable cord was broken off in the tv box so I had no tv while I was there, and cigarette smoke was horrible couldn’t sleep cause of it, I even bought air fresheners worked for a little bit but then it got bad again had to walk outside for some fresh air through out the night.

The room was very cold, had the heater on high the whole time. The bedding was clean sheets, and the blanket wasn't much heavier than the sheet. I wasn't comfortable sleeping most of the night.

We got to stay in a little cottage as opposed to the standard motel room which was a nice unexpected surprise

Manager was great. We stayed because the movie. Room was worn out and even though it was non smoking smelled strongly of smoke. Using the same comforter from the 60s I think. Mattress was hollow and pillows were pancakes. If it wasn’t for the nostalgia of the movie wouldn’t have stayed. Some of these ratings make me wonder about the system.

I knew the motel was older....but it just went downhill from there. 2 of the lights in the room were out. One missing a switch. Carpet was old, soiled with a wear pattern. Dresser was stained and dirty inside. Room 23 needed everything replaced except the bed. No hair dryer. Extention cords powering things. Bed was clean but that is a given. We stayed because it was raining. TV was partial funtioning, sink missing stopper.....loud neighbors. Interesting artwork view out bathroom window.

this is an old hotel needing repairs, improvment. The bathroom floor felt soft and inclined down, the toilet paper holder was missing one side, the shower was very small & you could barely move around. The bed was soft and squeakly. The air conditioner was so high and could not see the controls. It worked good though. NO coffee maker in the room. There were neighbors who lived next to the hotel who were loud & partied until 2:30 AM so we didn't sleep well.

This little motel is conveniently located and the manager is nice. The room was not the cleanest. The vents were really dusty and we found a dead cockroach in the kitchen! The A/C worked but not great and I got up at 5:30am to no hot water so I nuked some water and gave myself a sponge bath.

I thought l registered for 2 persons. Apparently l didn't. The manager noticed me and went ballistic. She came in with a sign that said failure to disclose a 2nd person meant having to pay $50. I gave her my card to pay. She threw it on the bed. She took my friend ID and said she was going to call the sheriff. Very weird experience. It all happened because l asked for soap and shampoo because there was none in the room.

Women at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. Even made sure the air conditioning was on in our room prior to checking in. Gave recommendations on where to eat! Would definitely stay here again if we are passing through

The room smelled horribly they had a queen size bed pushed up against the wall to where the other person had to climb into the bed and using a CPAP machine did not have anything for our machine to sit on would not recommend this hotel to anyone we left because we just couldn’t stay there ac and filter was so dirty it was so gross

From the pics I was expecting a bit more. Really the only game in town so it worked but the place needs an update. Staff should be a bit more professional (wear a t shirt dude.) we survived but I won’t be back.

Horrified by the price $99 bucks a night once I saw it ...paid that for broken windows, stench of idk what. Dirty and holes in ceiling burn marks on carpet.. toilet running, trash under beds ..I'm surprised the health department doesn't shut it down. I had no idea!!! Ill not be returning. Cheryl is nice the manager and upgraded me if you can call it that. The maids are nice and its just smelly dirty disgusting. Id suggest the health department shut it down to be honest. I have never paid so much money for a crappy place.

It’s the Bigfoot Motel! That was our reason for going there. It is close to the Trinity River and the Six Rivers. And it is quiet!

The motel was awful, room was next to bus stop yelling baby and the door was broken and didn’t lock.
Additionally the room was filthy, dirty rags were hanging on the bathroom door. Everything was dirty counters furniture floors.
The experience was so bad we left after the first night, cutting our trip short.
Also refused to refund our money.

Run down a bit. Rooms old, slanted floor, dirty vinyl floor, small but neat.
Desk indicated short staffed. Seems to be occupied mostly by workers and fire fighters.
Desk clerk very nice and accommodating.

The gal who checked me in was terrific. The wifi was not available - the gal warned me about that. I spoke to other guests who also couldn't connect. The air conditioner didn't work. The toilet ran after flushing and I had to lift the tank lid to fix the flapper. No coffee - either in-room or in the "lobby" which was closed. The room itself was fine. Wood walls, old school, little patio out front. Long flight of stairs to get to my room - which was fine for me but I saw other guests struggling. It was clean and cheap, though.

The motel was old and run down. The lady in the office was very nice and friendly. The town looks as Covid killed it. Locals say they don't have enough workers in the town but homeless tweekers are plenty. Check out the museum if you go and the Bigfoot steakhouse is very yummy.

I stayed 3 nights first morning I had to knock cockroaches off my wall than they scattered for the base boards. Second night I had a frog on my face wake me up witch wasn’t a big issue for me except I thought at first it to was a roach.so 3 nights not a lot of sleep. This place most likely has bed bugs as well.

This is a good, comfortable cheap motel. It is exactly what I am looking for in an inexpensive place to stay. The wifi was a bit slow, but it worked. It has all of the typical amenities in working order. I would stay here again when in the area.
BONUS: There are a number of really nice succulents and other plants around the property for those interested in drought-tolerant plants.

PIcked this hotel because it looked quirky and cool with the bigfoot statue.
Staff were friendly and courteous.
Firstly the Bigfoot statue isn't there. So.... yeah
The hotel itself is best described as 'tired'. It looks very run down. The decor is quirky but... wow. In real life, very tired. Room was generally dirty too with 'bits' on the floor. Wifi doesn't work for anything other than basic emails etc. There is even a sign to say you'll be fined $25 if you try to download or stream anything because that knocks out the Wifi...
No hot water.... couldn't get the TV/Cable to work.
The door deadbolt didn't lock unless the door was physically lifted in the frame. I wanted at least one warning kick before someone tried to break in....
Willow Creek itself was probably once a really cute fun little town (another reason to pick it).
I guess COVID killed it. The restaurants look closed down but are ok inside. In the 12 hours there and within 50 yards each way of the hotel I saw :
- a falling down drunk fighting with a bush
- a drunk/meth dude HIGH who asked me for money
- a WIRED high dude shouting at everything and running around with no shirt on.
The town is not safe, the hotel was dirty and tired.
It's a shame because a few years ago I bet it was awesome.
