Top California Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Columbia

Stoney Creek Hotel Columbia

6/10 Okay
"I would stay here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. When we first moved into the room, the light was burned out over the sink and the toilet won't refill. Worse, they appeared to have a sixth grade girls basketball team staying there for the weekend and they thought it was perfectly acceptable to allow them to run screaming and yelling down the hallway at night. Finally , I was at a meeting on Friday and happened to be on a break when I noticed a phone call from the hotel. I answered and was asked why my clothing was still in the room when I was supposed to have checked out that morning. I replied back that I had a reservation until Sunday. I then Emailed them a screen shot of my reservation and they told me to stop by the front desk for a new key when I returned. What would they have done if I hadn't answered the phone?"
