2 things I didn’t like The lack of a solid shut of our restroom door and the breakfast However, the location is great, Ashley at the front desk was helpful, the outside patio was a great place to host our group of families and the beds were about the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept in for as long as I can remember

I’m in between on if this deserves the full 2 stars! The staff were excellent, friendly, and attentive, but busy They do deserve the full 5 stars However, the rooms/amenities do not
I’ve stayed in “discount” hotel chains that are nicer/cleaner than the Stoney Creek was First the room – we just had a basic king size room, they were spacious The bed was comfortable, and the pillows/linens were too However, the cleanliness of the rooms was lacking Our comforter had a couple stains on it The main garbage can still had some papers in it, and our bathroom had crumbs in the toilet paper dispenser area Not to mention we only had 2 towels in our bathroom upon check-in With that said, we simply needed a place to sleep and we were able to do that The walls are pretty thin, and the hotel was packed The pool area was simply disgusting There were so many people in that area, and it was absolutely freezing cold That might be fun in the summer but a cold Iowa spring and it wasn’t conducive to swimming Which made it so that the hot tub area was packed of children, and less than bathwater warm I spent all of 5 minutes in the area and it was more than enough, my husband and son stayed awhile longer but my son froze the entire time I’ll assume it’s a bit warmer when the outdoor (connected pool) can be utilized But they should note that the indoor pool isn’t heated for those staying in the winter/colder time of the year The halls were outdated, and dark, but the hotel was large The breakfast was decent They had a few options, and they kept it clean despite how busy the hotel was All in all, it’s definitely a bit more run down and pricey than other hotels in the area
Bridgette Wiggins
After a long day of travel we were greeted with a warm and welcoming smile Despite a hiccup beyond her control, the woman at the front desk was patient, understanding and worked diligently to help us to get checked in The hotel itself is excellent
Lovely accommodations and a clean room were a welcome respite for us weary travelers We will make a point to come back here Highly recommended
Kayla Van Gorp
We booked 2 nights in one of the family suites with a bunkbed! The room was great, exactly as pictured on the website Very clean and the kids loved the bunkbed! The pool looked cooler online than it was in person It was also very small compared to what I was expecting based on pictures
The whirlpool was also down for our whole stay which was disappointingThe breakfast setup was very nice, something different each morning we were there There was an automatic pancake maker which was very neat and actually very tastyWe would definitely stay here again!

In need of a few updates, however the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome They were super inviting, called to check in on us after we checked in, and remembered our reason for travelling throughout our stay We had a small issue with the hot tub being too hot, and the manager made it her top priority to figure out the issue and resolve it
The rooms and pool area were clean and well-maintained and we never felt uncomfortable even with the more dated features There may be nicer or more updated hotels, but I would stay here any day because of the experience we had
Courtney Smith
I was very impressed with this location Well managed and updated/very clean hotel! Great breakfast included and they are pet friendly The young girl at the front desk during night shift was so sweet to not only my husband and i but my dog as well 🙂
It is located right near the highway but i didn’t hear it from my room I felt safe in the parking lot letting my dog out by myself

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and the place is really great Looks like it is almost new Breakfast has everything you want

I stay at this hotel once a year for a conference The hotel is always nice, clean and the staff is friendly However, during my most recent stay, it was even better
The entire staff was fantastic and WAY above and beyond From the front desk staff to the people working the breakfast, to the manager who gave us a tour of the 10th floor Everyone was great!The entire trip wrapped up with Mo driving us to the airport and it was one of the nicest trips I’ve ever had! He was so kind, helpful and told us stories from his life It was incredible If you’re in the area and need a hotel, you can’t do better than the Sheraton, mainly because of the staff!The only thing I wish was slightly different was that for the last 3 years, I booked the exact same room type, but previously had a small suite (separate living area with a coach and separate TV) and a fridge This time, it was a single (very nice) room with no fridge Not sure why or how I can make sure I get the bigger room with a fridge when I return next year
Amber Emberton
We stayed in this hotel for a wedding recently This hotel has a beautiful lobby, but the rooms are sub-par There isn’t a mini-fridge which is super inconvenient, and the rooms are in desperate need of updating
Not to mention all of our bedding was super wrinkled and there was someone else’s hair in the bathtub when we got there (which shows me little pride is put into the appearance of our accommodations) The elevators are an absolute nightmare There are only TWO elevators for ten floors, so you better be prepared to spend most of your time waiting on one to arrive to your floor It also seemed to be a pretty common occurrence for the room keys to all of a sudden stop working, as it happened not only to us but to multiple wedding guests, as well Their $12 breakfast is also just sad If you’re going to charge that much for breakfast, you better offer more than what most hotels offer in a FREE continental breakfast I must say, the staff are incredibly friendly, and I have zero complaints about them The wedding reception area is also very nice The staff, lobby, and reception areas are the only reasons I’m giving 3 stars Without them, my rating would most definitely have been lower
Nate Anderson
Rooms are average when it comes to comfort, along with terrible air flow and cooling during these summer months Hotels usually have great cooling but the room was muggy the entire stay, while the temp was set at “60°” No mini fridge which I suppose may be usual
However, we went to the bar to grab a drink and the bartender had tremendous trouble making drinks – the entire bar had to help guide her to the right bottles Clueless on what simple drinks were and poured the wrong drink Overall a below average stay

Breakfast
I’ll come back to that 🙂 Staff that greeted us about 10 pm was cheerful and helpful Room was clean, in good order, well supplied, comfortable A/C worked very well Keep in mind that this doesn’t pretend to be a luxury hotel, and they don’t charge luxury prices It was quite reasonably priced compared to other local options Morning staff was also cheerful and helpful Breakfast bar was amazing! Great selection of appealing food! I normally just go for a hard-cooked egg and waffle (in spite of the usual mess) The sausage patties were excellent! My husband liked the eggs, biscuits, and gravy, too Sweet rolls were fresh Breakfast bar was checked, cleaned and re-stocked regularly Even the waffle maker was kept clean! We liked it so much we stayed again on our return trip a couple nights later 🙂

Enjoyed my stay here; beautiful and well kept facilities Room was spacious and had excellent accommodations (only thing missing were the complimentary travel sized dental hygiene products) TV had local and cable channels (only thing to make it better is to install smart TVs so folks can stream their favorite subscriptions)
Pool was large and clean Hot tub was wonderful Outdoor patios are great for relaxing My only complaint is that the breakfast wasn’t complimentary and it wasn’t clearly stated that it wasn’t Me and other guests were surprised to be billed, but $11 isn’t much, just wish they were clearer about that Scones were some of the best I’ve ever had There’s also a bar on the first floor Staff is very friendly Prices are currently affordable and reasonable for the offerings Overall, a great experience and will return
John Pienta
Google listed this as a “three star hotel” I feel that’s a huge undersell I was put up here for an interview, so I’m not able to comment on pricing, but the service, and amenities are truly second to none when it comes to hotels I’ve stayed at in Iowa and even the Midwest in general The pool is huge, clean and well maintained, the gym is in excellent shape and has a pretty good variety of equipment
The king room I stayed in was spacious, and beautiful The staff consistently went out of their way to make sure I was well taken care of and my needs were all metI would highly recommend Hotel Renovo to anyone
Kelda Hankins
Overall, I was disappointed with this room from time of our arrivalRoom Issues:1 The shower head and handle were loose and rattled
It felt like this issue came from the lack of any sort of mount/restraint on the water pipe servicing the shower2 The shower door had seals installed in such a way that water hitting the glass just drained to the floor outside the shower Made for a slippery exit the first time I used it3 Carpeting on the stairs was frayed at the edges and looked to be coming up a bit at the corners4 Paint/caulk all over the chandelier’s bulbs5 Large stains on the rug downstairs6 The mini fridge couldn’t be shut unless it was dragged out from under the counter, and it didn’t seem to be able to chill anything even though it showed the right temperature7 Got woken up a bit after 8 am by some very loud housekeeping staffPayment Issues:The card used to book my rooms online was NOT the card they charged for final room payment even though the reservation listed that card as the “Payment Method”A family member checked in early and provided their card for the damage deposit, as is normal for every hotel That family member ended up being charged for the deposit AND the entire stay even after being told that the card they provided was only for deposit at check-inFurthermore, I called the hotel before our stay to confirm that this family member could check in early and use their card for the deposit, but my card was to be charged for the roomsApparently, it is the hotel’s policy to charge the rooms to the card used for the deposit regardless of the card used to book, and regardless of my phone calls to explain the early check-in situationStuff We Really Liked:1 Loft room was pretty neat and felt less like a plain old hotel room Particularly good room for a small group to hang out in2 Pool/hot tub were nice and quite large There was even an adult only time in the late evening3 Lobby was VERY nice Nice seating, itty bitty bar, nice breakfast hall(?)4 Bed was quite clean and comfortable5 Room had full-sized sink, a microwave, and a mini fridge Probably would have been good for a longer stay6 Breakfast scones! <37 Room had giant windows and the hotel was on a high(ish) point in the city so the view was niceConclusion:The payment issued can probably be chalked up to a series of miscommunications and my failure to confirm which card was being used upon check-out, but I had thought I'd already made arrangements with the hotel to handle itSome of the room issues were noticeable enough to make the recent remodel feel a bit shoddy, but we liked it overall and would probably stay again

I only spent one night in the hotel with my mother who’s 88 and my two daughters 21 and 23 We also had our dogs with us two Boston Terriers We booked through Priceline online because we were unfamiliar with the area, just traveling through
If I ever come through that way again I will definitely stay at the Revel again the rooms were very nice clean the beds were comfortable I love the pillows The bar was very nice everyone was so friendly all the patrons and employees wish we could have stayed longer Did not really get to experience any of the amenities of the hotel like the weight room or the pool Etc but the breakfast was phenomenal very basic very tasty
Raymond Waller
This was a wonderful place to stay The staff was kind and conversational every time we had questions The rooms were amazing and I think the bed was the most comfortable of any hotel I’ve stayed in
Highly, highly recommend! We brought our bikes, and this location is only a few blocks away from an amazing bike trail network We were able to bike from here to downtown every night!
Danielle Majors
I booked this hotel for my parents who were in town visiting I had never been in this hotel and simply booked it based on reviews! When I went to the hotel to meet up with my parents, I was really impressed with the ambiance they have when you walk in! The rooms were very spacious (in my opinion) and there was a nice seating area in their room where we could sit and talk vs sitting on the beds and talking
I will definitely book this hotel again!

JD Offield
This place would have been a lot better if the rooms above the main door were insulated, meaning every time the main door opens and closes you hear and feel it in the room The front doors did sound like they were about to fall off the tracks when entering or exiting the main entrance causing the noise but unless it gets fixed remember to take a room on either end of the hotel would be my advice The rooms were really nice and everything else was typical of a holiday express
Titas Quino
When we entered the hotel one of the receptionists ignored us seeing that the other one was with a client At that moment another customer came in and the one who ignored us greeted them and was very polite for being American Just because we are Latin
But I have to say that when we checked out the receptionist were men and they were very nice and treated us very well That’s how you have to take care of your customers no matter where they are from Thank you

Very nice hotel! It wears its age very nicely Only real complaint is the lack of accessible electrical outlets in our room
3(1 on each nightstand and another in the bathroom)Today’s “plug it in” culture requires a few more than thatThe nearby (across the street) parking was shockingly inexpensiveThe staff was beyond friendly and helpful to the point I felt like a VIP despite the fact I’d never stayed there before
Philipo
Absolutely great to stay The staff is very friendly and kind They have driver’s shuttle service that can drop you off to where you want to go as long its within 2 miles distance
You can also catch a ride to and from the airport…that was definitely a plus for meI want to send a shout out to Bobby and Melissa for their excellent customer service!!Great hotel to visit and stay…the location is perfect
Ryan Whedon
Great hotel, historic and wonderfully appointed One of the better renaissance hotels in the Marriott chain Although the bathroom is very small and really can only handle one at a time, it’s a old hotel hotel, not much you can do
Bed was very comfortable and climate controls worked great One star knocked off as the staff was not friendly at all

This is a nice hotel in general for the priceDefinitely bring your own pillow the pillows here are the size of a 4×4 and no firmness to themThe pool was freezing! We actually had to swim in the hot tub

Close to everything we enjoyed going toWonderful outstanding staff!! Thad and Matt went above and beyond to help us with a phone charger I forgot due to something on my mindWe were going to buy each of them a gift card but we didn’t know what to getThanks again for my mom and I wonderful stay
Bronwhyn Lorton
The stay was completely fine and everything But I happened to have left a shirt there, I called the same day I left and they said they’d ship it Two weeks went by, nothing, so we called them again, they stated that shipping was too expensive and we’ll figure something out, even though I said I’d pay for it, mind you I also live in a different state
So we finally got a hold of the staff again and they said they shipped it It’s been about two weeks, maybe three, and I still have never received my shirt It’s been almost two months since my stay The staff has me very frustrated, and I wish they’d get back to me

We came down to visit Adventureland We stayed at Adventureland resort the year before and it was disgusting So, I wanted to find a better place near by and this was it
I’m so happy with the room It was clean and ready with the extra towels and bedding I requested for the kiddos The staff was super friendly and helpful! The breakfast was just what we needed to start our day right! The lady at the desk behind the food was so helpful I asked her if I could read the box the egg omelette came in Because my daughter has celiac disease and can’t have gluten She was more then accommodating and helpful! We will see you again in August for another trip down before school starts Thank you!

The stay was great until the second to last morning I was there I had the door sign hanging saying do not disturb and as I was getting ready for the day, I hear someone use the key pad and my door start to open Luckily I had the door stopper activated or the house keeping girls would have walked in and seen me in my underwear
I did not ask for house keeping nor had I checked out Why were they entering my room uninvited? How many times had they entered my room when I had left for work for the day? Why is staff just entering rooms w do not disturb clearly showing? My trust was completely lost after that and I didn’t feel safe leaving my belongings in the hotel so I packed them up and had to drag to work

We just had a block of rooms at this location for our son’s wedding I can’t find enough positive things to say about our experience The manager and her staff were amazing! Our rooms were clean and all pre assigned to one half of the hotel, the lobby meeting room was a great gathering space for family and friends, the pool was clean and fun for family, and the service was outstanding
The manager came in over the weekend to ensure all was going well and to help with the large group I highly recommend this hotel!

Service was excellent and personalized It is nice when treated as a person not just a jobRoom was nice and clean
Pleasantly surprised to find usb charging portsFree breakfast was the best I’ve ever had with any free hotel breakfastI would most definitely stay here again and will look for Wyndham owned places on future vacations
Elizabeth Watnem
The hotel itself is amazing overall The room was newly renovated and very clean The free breakfast had lots of options and was the best hotel breakfast I’ve seen
The pool was nice and the outdoor area was very nice However, every single employee I interacted with was really rude When I checked in, the man just said “credit card, ID” He didn’t tell me about the room location, pool hours, wifi info, or anything else Very few words Then when I checked out, the heavy set female was really snarky We left and went to a different hotel for our 2nd night and probably won’t be back here solely based on the employees attitudes

Stayed in a studio for about two weeks Staff was friendly and helpful Parking was plentiful and enough room for small trailers
Location is walking distance to allot of good restaurants Room cleaning was only once a week, but you could always ask for fresh towels and other services All appliances worked and only fault I found was their can opener & veg peeler could use replacing
Steven Smithson
