Stoney Creek Hotel Sioux City
Not applicable on pool. Outdoor courtyard was very nice. The room was comfortable except for a minor issue with a loose toilet seat and the beds were too soft for our liking. Staff was very good. Would recommend the facility to friends and family and would stay there again.
