As someone with native american ancestry right away coming to our room, I was shocked that anyone would have such a tone-deaf sign with historically incorrect images on it. Every time we went to enter our room, I was baffled that they'd had this sign up on the room as long as they had. This sign is not an accurate depiction of Native Americans. It is a stereotypical depiction made from the perspective of a Caucasian person. We've stayed at Stoney Creek Inn's across the US. This was one of the dirtiest I've seen. Their version of the "theme suite whirlpool room" is half the size of the six other Stoney Creek Inns that we've stayed in. The place was run down and dated. Worse of all and unacceptable was how filthy the room was. I would not spend the exorbitant rates this place charges and look elsewhere. You'll be glad you did!

LOVED this hotel. I came in for business and sent my gal pals a text and told them we need a girl's trip to Galena SOON and we are staying at Stoney Creek. It was clean and the rooms are huge. Front desk staff were so nice and accommodating. I left my charger at home for my cell, and they helped me out. Breakfast was really good too. I can't wait to go back! It's a great place to stay when in the area.

Galena, Stoney Creek Inn has outstanding service, and consistently a go to for our young family. Brock is incredible at this facility. I have seen a few impressive chain properties. I've been to Seaport to Pacific coast ocean view properties in the past. Galena, Stoney Creek Inn, continues to create the best family memories that I have ever experienced. A smooth 5 minute check in by Ms.Lexus, and was super friendly. Fantastic American hot breakfast, and often heard a friendly "good morning." I really appreciate they have kid friendly snacks for sale! By the way, Charley, keeps their pool and hot tub super clean and water temps were warm, and definately kid approved! Incredible bar area, Moose Saloon. Keep selling Lena, one of a kind beer. Don't miss out on their super cool bar games. Keep expanding your bar food choices. Hot, fresh pizza, to share. Worth it. I want to recognize this entire team for their role in making this proerty the best place to stay in Galena! Thank you all, from my entire family! Ring the bell. Happy Holidays.

Cute lobby with a nice and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was very good with a fun pancake making machine. The room was decent and clean. The motel is not located in the downtown, but less than 10 minute drive down the hill. We would return the next time we are in Galena.

We enjoyed staying at Stoney Creek for the first time. We were celebrating our anniversary. The rooms were clean and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in hot tub. A big shout out to Dakota who checked us in. He was very helpful. The breakfast was very good too.

Overnight stay. The hot tub was very clean and comfortable. The bedroom was clean, name brand soaps and shampoos offered. Breakfast was good, and there was a wide variety of food to choose from. Definitely would stay again!

Our stay experience was great. Alisha really stood out. She was really working hard and effectively. The location was ok, but we thought we'd be able to walk back and forth to town. The distance was ok, but the hills made it a less practical walk.

Loved this hotel. Alisha was the best part. She seemed to be expertly doing the work of a dozen people on her own and was just a wonderful presence the whole time. Someone please promote that woman, stat.
