Festus Hotel Guide - Ogles Lake hotels in Festus, United States of America.

"The decor was updated, the property was clean, and the staff was friendly. We had to ask for towels and notify the front desk that we were missing an alarm clock and hair dryer so we could be sure we were not charged for them,(not an inconvenience for us, but out of an abundance of caution). This was a reasonably priced hotel and I would stay here again."

"Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. "

"For a motel it was good. "

"Relatively clean, bed reasonably comfortable. Staff was friendly. If that’s all you’re after and want to save $30-40 a night, then maybe it’s worth it. But property is in bad condition. 2 Elevator, but only 1 wiring and it barely worked. Only one bed in room. Very outdated everything. And it is VERY LOUD! It’s right next to Highway and the windows are very poor quality - do nothing for sound. We regretted not paying a little bit more for a nicer place. "

"Rather than being 100% negative-I will offer suggestions that would have helped improve the experience. Have a garage entrance near the hotel. It was about 2 blocks away with no signage that indicated this was the correct garage. The instructions indicated the garage was across from the Sheraton, but the hotel it is across from is no longer a Sheraton (it took my 3 tries to find the garage). When you get in the garage there wasn't any signage to tell you where to park for the hotel. When you finally get there-put some carts in the hallway to help folks with luggage. The walk to the correct elevator is long and juggling luggage was difficult. Rethink the look of the reception desk. Huge plastic shields with a security guard standing in front do not give any confidence that this is a safe hotel. The front desk is plastered with signs in neon colors telling what you can and can not do. Including one that said "no shoes, no shirt, no service" It doesn't make you think that this is a nice place. Rethink the cheap, uncomfortable and ugly flooring in the rooms. The baseboards were broken and dirty. The towels and bedding were really thin and low quality. Maybe an upgrade there? The pillows had plastic tags clipped inside (!)-I guess so you wouldn't steal them. I cut my ear sleeping on the darn things. Close the doors to the cleaning closets-they are junky and look terrible. I have stayed at the hotel for years and it must be under new management-never again."

"It is a great place to stay."

"Breakfast was great, quite a variety of food and drink. Staff were all kind and thoughtful. Real treat was warm cookies and milk in evening!!"

"Commons area very nice, breakfast was fine. Rooms: fine for sleeping, electrical outlets problematic, TV difficult to use. Bathroom was not great, tub actually hazardous, hot water shortage. Location of facility is almost perfect for tourism."

"We stayed here one night in April. The rooms are very nice with all amenities that you would need. The staff were friendly. There is ample free parking available, and it is close to restaurants and shops. A great walking trail is nearby also. We always stay here when we visit St Louis area. "
