Our family spent 3 nights here on a short family trip to St. Louis. The location worked out well for getting in and out of the city and avoiding paying high city prices. The hotel could be nice if they spent a little time and money cleaning things up. The landscaping was completely let go with bushes growing over the sidewalks and tall weeds. When we arrived in our room, there were broken tiles in the bathroom exposing the wall behind the tile. The hallway had a very odd and unpleasant smell, but the room itself, smell fine. We went to the pool one evening, and half the lights in the pool area were out. The water was very murky, and even wearing goggles, my kids were unable to see each other under the water. We were told At check in that the continental breakfast was from 6 to 10 AM period we went downstairs around 9 o'clock, and we were told they were told they were closing. There was food scattered on the countertops, tabletops and floors, and nothing had been refilled. The coffee ran out, juice was empty, and even the bagels and other cold items were gone or in disarray. While the location was nice, if we are back in the area, we will select another hotel.
