8/10 Very good

Great place

We have stayed at Stoney Creek many times over the years we love the rooms they’re always clean. The only thing I would say is we got a room with a fireplace and it wound up not working other than that which is just a maintenance issue great place to stay

8/10 Very good

Location is great. This place needs a little love. It was pretty clean. Has an inside/ outside pool and a hot tub. Pool is not heated. Pets are welcome and I didn't hear any noise. A few restaurants were within walking distance.

Highly Recommend

One of the best beds we have ever slept in at a hotel! Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Our room was clean and a lot of space. The small bar/restaurant was nice for times you dont want to go out.
Joshua, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Last stay at Stoney Creek Johnston

After many successful stays this was our last one at Stoney Creek Johnston. From rude staff to ants in the room to general maintenance and upkeep, every aspect of the hotel is lacking from its previous glory

Cabin not in the woods

This place is amazing. I’ve never stayed in a place quite like this. I got one of the cottage themed rooms and it was amazing. It was extremely comfortable (except for the pillows but it’s rare to get good pillows in a hotel). It was so spacious it felt like the room kept going. The room I booked had a fireplace which helped my wife stay warm even though I was hot and she was cold. The shower had good room and pressure. The woman who checked me in was very friendly and informative. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to Des Moines but if I do I’m staying here no questions ask. In fact I’m going to find out if Stoney Creek has other places. I loved this place.
