Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"Second time I stay here. Honestly it’s pretty clean and nice but they need to work on fixing their amenities. The first time I booked, the jacuzzi didn’t work. This time the fireplace inside my room didn’t work. Other than that pretty decent."

"We arrived Friday, and it was busy but the front desk did a great job of staying calm. She was short handed answering phone, and taking care of guests checking in apologize to each of us for the wait. Had dinner at the bar, the food was delicious staff was awesome, and friendly. Room was clean, was close too the pool, in a great location close too the door to go outside due too we had our service dog with us. King size ded was so comfortable, with clean bedding. The pool area was clean, both days we stayed. They had waffles, juice, milk, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, for breakfast with staff there to help."
