There was a weird smell in every hall room etc here. The room was not horrible, good enough for a one night stay. The bed was SUPER comfortable. Perfect drive to st. louis for a concert. I would stay here again for the price

The place was clean and the staff was extremely nice. However, the breakfast was kinda bad and the toilet was extremely low. Not sure if I'd stay there again.

Only conditioner in soap bottles in shower. Pool listed as amenity even though it's been closed since 2020. Would have stayed elsewhere if advertising was honest.
Hotel still clean and nicer than some within a few
miles.
It has clean room, provided quality shampoo conditioner body soap. Nice hot shower , clean towers, only thing that I’m not comfortable is their pillows.
