Jacuzzi tub broken, but water didn't get really hot anyway, pool closed being used for storage, bed was uncomfortable, and exterior doors loud, all night long all you could hear even with the TV on was the door slamming. Staff was really friendly. Room was clean.

Second time staying here for work. Very convenient as the place is surrounded by gas stations, highways and food options. 20 minutes from STL. South of the hotel, you’ll see beautiful parks near the river. This time I stayed, I had issues with the A/C where it did not keep my room cool. The floors also didn’t seem very clean. There was also a very odd smell in my room.

Well, the first room we were offered- was occupied…as we found out once we entered… The second room, was clean- ish, but neither the tv nor the refrigerator worked… and the king bed had no pillows- and when I inquired- was told there were none to be had…loud neighbors, noisy ac unit- which are par for the course, lessons learned… do the research, I was suckered in by a good pic and great price, but remember- you get what you pay for…. Did I mention the big section of the gutter flying off the roof when we stepped out, narrowly missing me? Que sara.

Got there too check in about 11pm and was told they are out of double bed rooms. Wanted to give us a roll away. Declined. Wanted us to split hotels... 1 person at this hotel and 1- 3 miles away. Declined. Finally have us 2 separate rooms ... on 2 different floors. Both of us have bad backs and no elevators. Never again!

The staff was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. We got one of the rooms with the tub but the tiles were all chipping and some were even missing. We would rate it a 3 definitely not the worst but the quality could have been better.

Property was good enough for a one night stay. Area was sortof sketchy. Also, no large sign out front stating the name of property. Maybe they are putting up a new one soon? I was close to front desk (room 102) so took awhile to get to sleep as I could hear all the chaos out front and doors slamming. Room was clean though.
