Top Altoona Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent
"This is a special, cozy hotel with loads of log cabin decor. It was clean and nice with great water pressure and a great bed. The hotel has a small snack store and bar as well as an indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub that were open late. We only stayed one night but it was very nice and close to great restaurants. I'll stay there again for sure next time we are in Des Moines, Iowa."
