Central Iowa Business Hotels

"Beautiful old hotel in a walkable neighborhood. A/C was wonderful on a hot day! Breakfast was delicious. Bed was very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again. "

"This is a great place to stay if you’re in Ames. We found the room to be large, furniture and bed was comfortable. It’s very quiet and other guests were very pleasant. They have a unique shower head and provide directions-which are helpful. Parking is close to the entrance. "

" Easily accessible from Fleur Drive. "

"Very very nice. Awesome Lady in front Desk Caucasian 7/26/25 checked out 11:30am, she was awesome! Sorry I didn’t get her name. Very professional and friendly, she deserves a raise!!! Thank you"

"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. "

"Excellent! Room was spotless. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast selection was wonderful. Very affordable."

"The only issue I had was with the slides. The rules on what life jacket to wear wasn’t posted anywhere. My son went down one slide with a life jacket and the second time was told he couldn’t wear that one. He had to wear one that buckled in the back not in the front. The rules weren’t posted on the life jackets. "
