Four Points By Sheraton Peoria
It was great, and the staff made it better. If I would say one thing that could be better was the continental breakfast, the bagels was so hard they were not eatable.

Stoney Creek Hotel Peoria
The room was clean. It had everything I needed. The lobby stairs-specifically - were not so clean, but nothing terrible. The bar closes too early. I love the decorum of the hotel. A really cool place for families.
