Verified Reviews of Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines Johnston
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"It was just okay."
Overall Score3.0/5
The elevator stinks. Glad I was wearing a mask. The carpets in halls are wrinkled. Our bathroom floor was dirty. The area of room was dark. Needs a floor lamp. No hairdryer. No one made our bed or gave us new towels etc.

"Very Average"
Overall Score4.0/5
The experience was okay considering how short staffed everyone is. The room was never cleaned in four days. The hallways and stairs were littered with food and trash. The front desk was great as was the breakfast and the breakfast lady very pleasant!

"A little bumpy but turned out fine."
Overall Score4.0/5
I always try to use the hotel's own booking website. I apparently called the wrong number and didn't realize it was a booking service. When I got there it wasn't the room that I had reserved, but after talking to the staff, I'm convinced it was out of their hands. I checked the number I called and it was not the hotel. The place was fully booked and they couldn't offer us another room. They did give us two rollaway beds for our kids. The place was crazy due to a kids sports tournament in town but again not their fault. Stayed there a couple times and the pool seemed really cold both times.

"Well worth money."
Overall Score5.0/5
My wife, daughter and I had a nice weekend getaway. The room was quiet and comforting. Everything went off without a hitch.

Expedia Group verifies all reviews to ensure that the customer has indeed booked on our site. To encourage customers to submit their reviews, we send an email containing a link to evaluate the hotel to which we sometimes attach a reduction or Expedia Rewards voucher to use on a future trip. We post all reviews whether they are positive or negative, to the extent that they respect our content directives. This monitoring is automated. Any rejection is manually checked and, if maintained, notified to the reviewer by email with reasons. We do not otherwise process changes, nor reviewer contact. We de-list reviews after 4 years, other than for properties having a non-significant number of reviews.
