I wouldn't stay anywhere else...this was great!
My husband and son loved this place! We even did a tour of the hotel, so we could see everything it had to offer. They told me I outdid myself on this booking. We will definitely be back!

Great place
We have stayed at Stoney Creek many times over the years we love the rooms they’re always clean. The only thing I would say is we got a room with a fireplace and it wound up not working other than that which is just a maintenance issue great place to stay

One of the best beds we have ever slept in at a hotel! Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Our room was clean and a lot of space. The small bar/restaurant was nice for times you dont want to go out.
