Staff is helpful, room was clean, breakfast was hot. Only issue is pool was closed and we weren’t made aware until check-in.

Stoney Creek Hotel Peoria
Great social staff! Needed to add a night and they were super accommodative to allow us to keep the same room for the next night even though it was two different bookings! Liked the separate space away from main lobby for our group to visit.
