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!

I left someone valuable in the room by accident. The staff was awesome in finding it and saving it at the desk until I could come back and get it. Much appreciated!!
