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.

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!

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.

Not great for a couples weekend

From the outside we were unsure, but the loby was pretty nice so were kinda reasured. However, once we got in the room the pillowcases were dirty though the cleaning ladies had just finished cleaning supposedly. We exchanged the pillowcases but then I decided to check the rest of the bed and discovered cigarette burns on the mattress and the duvet. The jetted tub was nice though loud when turned on. There was also a cigarette burn on the tub which was irritating. Why some guests disrespect a room like that I dont get. Breakfast potatos, eggs, and cereal, but the breakfast room was pretty small with only one table. Our key stopped working before check out so my significant other stayed in the room while I took stuff to the car and he let me back in. Overall better for a quick place to crash not for a romantic weekend.
