Top Polk City Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"The room was affordable, clean, spacious, and charming. The staff were eager to be helpful. The fiberglass moose out front was “unique,” and the log cabin aesthetic was simple and charming, even if it was a bit “kitschy.” Loved it. Would stay here again."

There were waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs, ham, yogurt, etc for the breakfast (and cappucino!). The pool was empty in the morning, so we were able to enjoy our relaxing morning in the hot tub together. Another great stay!"
