Four Points By Sheraton Peoria
The hotel was nice for the quick stay! The only complaint we really had was our shower in the room was not very hot, it was actually quite chilly for bathing temps.

Stoney Creek Hotel Peoria
The hot tub has been broken for three years- clearly, they don't have a plan to fix it. A kid threw up in the pool, so that was closed for the night. The hotel was fine, but the stay was just disappointing.
