"The room was clean, the pool and fitness room were nice after long day on road. The breakfast was good, some hot protein options. The area had the things we needed and it kept us out of St. Louis proper. Probably won’t be your best la Quinta experience but we’ve learned when traveling through/near big cities need to bump up the budget a bit to have decent room in seemingly safe area. Little things like fitness room water dispenser empty and rubbery tater tots were disappointing but not huge...
