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.

Best Western Plus Peoria
The room and staff were great but the elevator doesn’t work, and carrying everything upstairs at age 78 was brutal. If I had known the elevator was not working, I would not have made a reservation there!!!!
