I was apprehensive about staying at this property, but it was only for one night so we decided to go for it. We arrived pretty early - way before the 3pm check-in time - but we were able to get straight into the room. It was the day of a Rams Thursday night football game, which we were attending, so...

Rooms were very dirty and smelled like smoke. I would not recommend staying here nor will I ever stay here again. It was cheaper than other places downtown and close to Edward Jones dome, but those are the only good things about this place. Extremely run down, dirty, horrible smell, and I didn't feel safe staying here. If you are... More

Room smelled like smoke and mildew. It looked like somebody had tried to use the tank of the toilet for something, because the lid was on backwards. Toiletries were very limited. Shower was dirty. The telling sign was the carpeted staircase leading up to the second floor. Who puts carpet on an outdoor staircase?

My husband and I were college students in Chicago when we got married, so our options for Honeymoons were limited. We decided St. Louis because the Amtrak takes us right into the city. We chose our hotel based upon location and price. I suppose we were asking for a crazy experience since we only paid $52.50, but how could we... More

We had originally reserved two nights here and paid for two. The room was very dated and shabby but reasonably clean, although the phone was very dirty. We tried to get onto the Internet but it was so bad that the websites kept timing out and then, if we did get on, tipping us off. We are thousands of miles... More

It is probably the cheapest place to stay in STL downtown, within 10 mins walk from decent restaurants and bars in Downtown and the Metrolink station (STL light rail system). However, it is not the best place to stay in. You can see really weirdo types in the motel. The surrounding also feels really unsafe after dark. I was simply... More

Stayed here for one night for about $60, and it is the cheapest you will get downtown. From the hotel we were able to walk downtown no problem and the St Louis Arch, as it is no more than a mile away. We didn't really feel too safe on this end of town though, not sure if I'd walk through... More

We stayed here for the National Wrestling Tournament. The hotel is an older hotel, but very clean. The staff was great and met all our needs. The Manager of the hotel went out of his way on more than one occassion. We needed a wheelchair for my mother, and he not only called places to acquire one, but even went... More
