STONEY CREEK HOTEL QUAD CITIES - MOLINE, Moline

The hotel sits directly on the Mississippi River, with a paved walking and biking trail along the water. John Deere Pavilion is a 6-minute walk away, and the Vibrant Arena at The MARK is within easy strolling distance. Several restaurants - River House Bar & Grill, La Casa Mexican Grill, Rebellion Brew Haus - are within 0.5 km. Quad City International Airport is 8 km from the property, and a free shuttle is available but must be booked in advance and incurs a fee. Freeway access is convenient, and free parking eliminates downtown parking hassles. The location is ideal for business travelers visiting John Deere, Augustana College (8 minutes drive), or anyone attending events at the arena.

All rooms include free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen cable TV, coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave, and private bathroom with hairdryer. Air conditioning and heating are standard. Choose from double rooms, family rooms (with three beds), or suites. Themed suites offer a hot tub or whirlpool tub, and some have a fireplace. Extended-stay cottages include a full kitchenette. Handicap-accessible rooms on the ground floor feature roll-in showers and low beds. Rooms are generally quiet, but noise from hallways or nearby bars can be an issue on weekends. Some guests have noted worn carpet or wallpaper; request a recently updated room if that matters to you. Cots and pack-n-plays are available on request.

A free continental breakfast is served each morning, offering cereals, pastries, fruit, bagels, and a pancake machine. Breakfast can be busy when the hotel is full, especially with sports groups. The on-site bar, Blackwater Jack's Saloon, opens in the evening and serves American appetizers, cocktails, and local craft beers. The bar has a pool table and a TV, but remote control availability may be limited. For a full meal, several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk: River House Bar & Grill, La Casa Mexican Grill, and Rebellion Brew Haus. There is no full-service restaurant on the property.

The pool is a highlight - heated and open all year, with a pass-through that connects the indoor and outdoor sections, perfect for families. Pool hours: 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with adult-only swimming from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The adjacent hot tub and sauna are popular but can be out of service for maintenance; check with the front desk. The fitness center is equipped with cardio machines and free weights, though some equipment may be limited. For indoor activities, there are billiard and table tennis tables available at no extra charge. The hotel also has a large outdoor area with a riverwalk trail for jogging or cycling.
