Stay away.

This place is so old I rather of stayed in my car. No place to put luggage on, no dressers, floor was damp and bathroom floor wet, no towels, no wifi had to go back to office to get password no place really to eat around there. Room was supposed to be nonsmoking, yet you walk in, and it smelled. Bed cover had burn marks in it and it was a king size bed. They handled you the remote and then you have to return it when you check out. Room next to mine was smoking and so when you put the light on in the bathroom which the fan goes on it draws the smell from the room next door. It stunk. Even my service dog didn't want to stay there. Refused to eat. I do have to say the guy up front was very polite and helpful but they need to learn what they can and cannot ask about a service dog.

Didn’t need anything fancy. Going to the races nearby. Room was clean. Appeared to be freshly painted and bathroom appeared to be recently updated with new tile, tub and fixtures. Not many channels on tv. Didn’t really matter to me. Tile on floor not grouted to surface so gaps between tile had dirt in them. Need bigger waste basket. Would probably stay there again for next years race.

W.T.F

This was quite literally the most disgusting and terrifying experience I’ve ever had in a hotel. Starting off after being on a road trip in the storm for hours, finally get to the hotel which the main entrance is covered by caution tape. Got the hotel key, went to the room where the “cleaning person” was actively mopping our room with the most disgusting water. Might I add the “cleaning cart” was a stolen save a lot shopping cart with a mop and a vacuum inside it. The room had “sealed evidence” tape on the front door. Was never told it was a smokers room. Bed had ORANGE stains all over it. We decided to check out after 10 minutes of being there and suffer the 5 hour car ride back home. Although this was the funniest and most interesting part of the trip, would’ve liked to had a chance to relax at any point. Waste of money and literally wouldn’t even recommend this place to a homeless person.

WORST room I’ve ever stayed at. Extremely dirty & blood stained carpets. If I could give zero stars I would. Not to mention a $100 deposit for that mess of a room. Do NOT stay here ever, save your money! Disgusting the owners should be ashamed of this place. It needs to be shut down.

I booked the room because I needed an inexpensive room for one night in the St. Louis area. It was the least expensive hotel in the area. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The clerks were friendly and efficient.
