Ok for children, not for Seniors at all
Well, we have stayed here in past, but since covid price is more than previous, quality wasnt what i remember, glu-on soap fell offwall, toilet is good only for children since they are 12" off the floor, difficult even for healthy adult to get off of, i have never seen toilets sitting this low the floor ever, they must have been installed in the 50's.

The room was disgusting. I paid and couldn’t even stay the night. There was brown stuff in the toilet. It smelled like the sewer is backed up, and the air conditioning smelled like mold, there was hair on neatly made sheets, it looks like drug addicts live there, the phone doesn’t work but kept ringing, Horrible experience and I gave away 100 dollars because so couldn’t get my money back.

Spent a day during our stay with no running water and also no fees removed from my bill. Walking around the room with socks on and the bottoms were totally black after a few minutes. Room looks clean but is pretty gross.

We checked into this hotel while traveling through St. Louis. Upon entering the hotel, it smelled strongly of natural gas or propane. The smell in the room wasn’t quite as bad, but the floor seem to be wet and the whole room was damp, even though we were running our AC. When we woke in the morning, there was no water. We contacted the front desk and we were told there was a water main break and they had no idea when the water would be back on. I asked about a discount or refund and they said they weren’t refunding anyone because it was out of their control. I understand it was out of their control but we had to spend another $120 at another hotel in order to use the bathroom and take a shower. For that reason alone I would NEVER recommend this hotel. The decision to not at least provide a discount is completely greedy on their part.

Decent place, just know what you’re getting. I’m probably guilty of being ignorant to the humid damp climate, but this played a role in the sleeping and bedding situation for sure. Always damp and not overly comfortable. Plumbing was suspect with poor water pressure and toilets. Staff was awesome and accommodating. Others from our group not so lucky with their rooms and opted to cancel and rebook at another location nearby.

It was clean and everyone was wonderful from the time I walked in to when I checked out. The only thing is when I was trying to sleep there was kids running around in the hallway, but all in all I had a good experience.
