Stoney Creek Hotel Peoria

Bad experience We recently stayed at the Stoney Creek Inn - Cottages in East Peoria, Illinois. Our power had been out due to storms for 2 days and we planned to take a night and get showers and caught up on some laundry before leaving for out of state. I called prior to booking to make sure guest laundry was available on-site, which they confirmed. When we arrived we waited at the front desk for at least 10 minutes before anyone was around to check in. We got to our room and there were bugs and dirt all over the floors and bathroom. Once settled, I made my way to the laundry room where there were mounds of wet disgusting towels, dirt, bugs etc everywhere and decided to go ahead and give it a whirl because the washer/dryer at least was decent. Loaded the clothes and detergent into the washer, set the settings and inserted my change only for it to not work. This place has really gone down hill and is honestly in pretty bad shape. We will never be back.

Stay at a lodge in Illinois I love the Stony Creek experience. It was great to share it with my daughter. It’s an annual stop as I pass through Peoria. Always great hospitality, clean room, and an awesome pool. The Staff is friendly, professional, and good at their jobs.

Marriott Prices with a Motel Feel I am still here anticipating check out, and still in disbelief of the other good reviews. Expected more for price. Out of state for a wedding 40 mins away but wanted the pool, nice stay with my son here. Check in was wild. Instant regret with lack of hospitality. I did get a hello but had to ask for all other details. Elevator? Pool? I heard there was breakfast? This ended up being least of my worries! Walked in room. Motel feel. Stains all over carpet. Lampshade torn. Bathroom counter is “troubled”. Air conditioning on 60 full blast to rid of odors I presume. Very musty. Room smells like it was a smoking room for 400 years but they recently stopped and air freshen aggressively. My son was very upset by the smell. Lots of tears and he’s 11, special needs. I was so angry at my self for trying something new and not sticking to big brands at this point. Asked staff for new room and said sold out and no manager until after I leave. Ok, thought I’d have family come by from 40 mins away to see if I was overreacting. They said I was out of my mind if I was paying any more than 80 dollars a night. It was triple that per night. Ok, not wanting to complain further, I said let’s go to pool. We unfortunately couldn’t stay because it was just over max capacity. It looks nice but there were 47 kids in pool at once and about 20 adults watching on. Too much rough housing and my son got kicked in head. One kid spitting in pool. I knew there was not pool supervision but no one to monitor anything. Hot tub broke (knew in advance) but kids wrestling on it. Bedtime. Well, again no monitoring or enforcing and there was an aggressive game of tag going off and on from midnight until 1:30am Friday. Walls are THIN. We had a sound machine but it was no match for the teens and the air conditioning trying all its might. Every hour or so we awoke until 5:40am when the room became illuminated by the sun. There are blinds but they don’t touch the wall and no curtains. At this point I called corporate because I thought if we could get a refund for the following night we could find anything else perhaps and forgo the pool. Family overrun with wedding guests, and if it weren’t for my son I would rather sleep in our van than stay. But I imagine they are not in during the weekend and I left a message. We came down for hot breakfast the first morning and they had biscuits/gravy, scrambled eggs, and potatoes. Plus yogurt, milk, and bagels. But we didn’t eat a thing and got out of there as I was trying not to get sick. Food everywhere. Ground in the carpet. Not like a restaurant. Maybe there was a food fight? Ate elsewhere. They said they couldn’t clean totally until the breakfast hours were over. Biggest problem was as kind as I was with my delivery about all of this, they just looked at me like I had two heads, mouth agape in confusion. No apologies about anything. Not an eye roll but a sigh and holding breath wishing I would go away. It was hard for me to speak up but it’s just too many issues to not. We had to stay the second night and it was a better sleep at least. Positives: Beds comfy and clean There was an attached bar that people seemed to like Good location I can’t recommend. Please Stoney Creek don’t ask me to call, you contact me. I’m tired of calling. You have my info.

Sue! From check in to check out, everything was quick and easy. The kids enjoyed the pool, my husband and I enjoyed the bar area and the food, and Sue was excellent during breakfast. It was a continental, serve yourself type of meal and she still made her way to our table and made sure we taken care of and cleared our table for us. We will definitely stay again

Warm and welcoming The hotel was very clean, welcoming, and had a delicious hot breakfast! The Biscuits and gravy made by Sue F were some of the best I've ever tasted. What a warm environment for not only couples, but families as well. We will be returning with our child to enjoy the indoor/outdoor pool.
