There was some outdoor building maintenance going on and at times the back door was taped off. I parked in the rear for convenience to elevator and room, this is where the work was being done. Staff was helpful and nice. The hotel was very clean, good healthy breakfast (enjoyed having bacon) fresh fruit and the coffee was great! It was very cold the first couple of days and warmed up nicely. My room was always comfortable whether I used the heat or had the ac on! All in all, it was an enjoyable stay! I would definitely stay at this location again!

Do not pass this one up!

The Holiday Inn Express in Festus is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in a long time. All of the staff, from check-in, to housekeeping, to breakfast, and check out were super helpful and friendly. The hotel itself was very clean, quiet and welcoming. And, I can’t even explain how comfortable the room was (I had a king suite). All around outstanding experience!
