We were looking for a cheaper hotel for the night that would be safe for us and our cars outside. This hotel was great and the staff was very friendly. Checking in/out was quick and easy. Compared to other hotel reviews seen around the St. Louis area, this one was better by far. While there is no complimentary breakfast, there is a coffee bar by the front desk which was nice too.

Staffs were very nice & welcoming. But property is very old. There was this smell in the room which made all our stay so difficult. We booked this place for the graduation week, location wise very convenient & safe as well. But room condition is not good for us.

I want to apologize for the condition of your room; I wish that you would have brought it to our attention during your stay so that we could make it right. Please keep that in mind the next time you visit us. As far as our property goes - it may be an oldy, but it's definitely a goody. Thanks, Devasena!

This is a good value if you're looking to stay in the Midtown/Forest Park area. It's right off I-44 and close to so many things. I had the chance to meet the owner who is (as of April 2024) updating and renovating the property. The hotel is clean and in good condition, and it's adjacent to The Hill (the historic Italian neighborhood of St. Louis). There was no breakfast, which didn't bother me since I never eat it anyway. And I had a few issues with my key card during my five-night stay, but it was nothing the front desk (a) wasn't aware of already and (b) couldn't fix immediately. Staff was overwhelmingly friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

I was really shocked by just how poor of an experience this hotel was. I knew it was a budget hotel, but even at about $100/night, you still expect certain things. The room had carpet coming up in the corners. Our toilet didn’t flush properly, and we had to take the lid off and manually flush about 1/2 time. The sheets were stained. The chair was stained. The towels were stained. There were hairs everywhere in the bathroom (like on the ceiling everywhere). Stuff all over the walls. We stayed for 3 nights, housekeeping never once went into our room. The elevators feel medieval. We ran into other folks around the elevators and all the other guests would joke with us about how sketchy the elevators were. However, every staff member I interacted with was lovely. Kind and helpful, which makes me think this is a lack of resources issue. I checked in on a Friday night and there was only one woman getting a line of people checked in with no help, but she was still answering everyone’s questions about the area with kindness. It’s definitely not the staff making this place feel more like a $50/night motel than $100 /night.
