The property seemed to be greatly understaffed, but all staff appeared to be genuinely working hard and doing the best they could. We had some issues at check-in, first given a room that was clearly not ready (door open, drink on the dresser, bed unmade). We went back to the main building and were given a new room. It looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in months thick dust on the carpet, dog toy under the couch, syrupy residue in the drawer, we saw some gnats but were hoping that wiping everything down and taking out the left behind trash would help. Our kids were eager to go swim so we swam until about 9:30pm. When we returned to the room gnats were pretty bad. One flew into my drink. The bathroom was also covered in gnats at this time. We tried calling the front desk from our room and my cell phone no answer. We went to the front desk in the morning and asked to be moved. The associate was friendly and accommodated our request for which we were grateful. She let us know we would get a 25% credit back for the inconvenience. The second room was gnat free! Whoo hoo! It appeared to have been vacuumed but was still pretty dirty (ie candy wrapper under the chair), dirty fridge inside and out. I think the staff is doing the best they can with what they have but cleanliness is important to me when traveling. We may try the hotel again but stay in the main building rather than the cottages as we later read that building tends to be cleaner. The breakfast server is was amazing!!!!!

The property has a good feel and I think it could be amazing. However, many things need to be updated. From the carpet in the hallways to the furniture in the rooms. My room had a musty smell in it. The staff were great to work with…5 stars for them!!

Cabin not in the woods

This place is amazing. I’ve never stayed in a place quite like this. I got one of the cottage themed rooms and it was amazing. It was extremely comfortable (except for the pillows but it’s rare to get good pillows in a hotel). It was so spacious it felt like the room kept going. The room I booked had a fireplace which helped my wife stay warm even though I was hot and she was cold. The shower had good room and pressure. The woman who checked me in was very friendly and informative. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to Des Moines but if I do I’m staying here no questions ask. In fact I’m going to find out if Stoney Creek has other places. I loved this place.
