I drove by this motel for 45 years thinking it was just a dump, but I decided to meet a family member and it was convenient and to my surprise it was although an old motel it was car cared for, and it was not a sleazy motel
Devin
It was Alright
Demetrus
This is the worst motel I've ever been to in my life and it's grounds are not safe for anyone unfamiliar with the area. Im from here and it wasn't safe for me. PLEASE STAY AWAY.
Joyce
When I my room, it was filthy. There was riding on the bathroom shower.
The lady behind the desk told me that there was no rooms available after I told her that I had paid online for it. Then she made me pay. An extra $10 for my friend of which I had already paid for all 3 of us, but she made me pay $10 more.Also , they said there was no visitors allowed. So overall , with the motel in the people that worked there , I am very dissatisfied

All in all not a bad place but I've stayed better. Owner could be more polite.but staff was very helpful,polite and courteous.rooms have no fridge and your lucky to get a remote for tv.
Shania
There are about 10 parking spots which were all taken up and there is no other parking and the entire area is under construction.
timothy
Ok for the Price ,could have more amenities.
Abbieann
Its in a poor part of town. They are making improvement, but have a long way to go. Bed was comfortable, linens were clean but only one towel in the room. Light ou the outside was shinning in the window all night...only a light weight curtain in tje room. I felt safer when the owner told me someone was at the entrance atvall times.
Greg
Do not stay here. Booked longer but only stayed 1 night - then left first thing in the morning. Unclean and unsafe. No form of refund either.
Dominik
Absolutely TERRIBLE!!
I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Despite traveling with legitimate service animals, I was refused accommodations. Service animals are not pets, and being denied a stay because of them created an unnecessary and stressful situation.
Before booking, I trusted that properties listed on Expedia would understand and follow basic accessibility requirements. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
Afterward, I looked through many of the reviews and noticed a pattern of complaints from other guests as well. It makes me question why Expedia continues to partner with a property that consistently receives poor feedback.
I cannot recommend this hotel and would encourage future guests, especially those traveling with service animals, to confirm the hotel’s policies in writing before booking.

Realize, we are talking downtown East St. Louis. One block away is the remnants os Sportsman Park.
This is where the Cardinals played until 1966.
I had been on the road for over 3 days. I was tired, and it was late. I was tired and looking for a bed, nothing more.
The sheets were clean, and bed comfortable. I slept well. Nothing current of fancy.
Woke up refreshed, and continued on my travels

Guy at the front desk was rude. The room looked like an escape room, pretty terrifying or like a crime scene. Filthy bathrooms, filthy bedding with burn holes. Dangerous area with crack heads on the corner asking for money as your are trying to check in.
Hanna
This hotel is completely unfit for habitation; it needs to be demolished.
RESHAM
Very, very, very, very bad this property. I hate this type of motels.
Tara
There was no towels to shower with, no remote for the tv, nor no shampoo, conditioner, or soap. Air conditioner fan ran the whole time even though it was set to auto.

非常友好的一个酒店，很舒服
James
Don't go here unless you have to. The staff is rude and unhelpful. There aren't landlines to contact the front desk. The bathroom didnt have a light in it nor did it even have a bathroom door! There was no remote for the television. Also, the TV only had digital channels. I don't recommend this hotel. I would of never booked it if it wasn't shown to me on the Hotel app. I actually didnt even stay the night do to the conditions. But there are NO REFUNDS

The neighborhood seemed sketchy when it rained it leaks through our room into the bathroom the bathtub wouldn't drain and later we had a hitchhiking mouse that ended up in our laundry
Destiny
Room looked nasty he even said I couldn’t rent a room because I had 4 bags of clothes and he also got mad because I booked online , I booked online because I was far from the place and wanted to make sure I had somewhere before I got there so he told me that night was only night there and I had to leave the next day before 11.

I've stayed here before and it was perfect for my trip to sightsee downtown. Construction going on this time and the entrance can be difficult to find. It's not a fancy place, but it's safe, comfortable and inexpensive.
Lisa
This property needs to be shut down
Ademi
The worst place I have ever stayed at, every surface smells of old smoke, dirty, cigarette burns everywhere, noisy. You can hear everything the walls are paper thin. The lighting is terrible and I had cockroaches in my bathroom
Jada
Awful customer service. This property should be taken off of Expedia. Never had service this bad in my entire life.

It was ten times worse than I thought it would be. Not even worth the money. The room was so grimey.

The room doesn’t match the photo on hotel.com. The bedspread had burns. The neighborhood is somewhat unsafe with several abandoned buildings. But it is very close to many tourist attractions.
Michelle
This place sucked. You couldn't understand or hear what the check in lady was saying through the glass. No screen or mic to hea
Gabriel Vasile
There are needed a lot of improvements!
The bathroom sink was in such a poor condition; the light was so weak, in the bathroom and could not shave properly; my all good clothes got a terrible smell of cigarettes and I had to wash them all!
Do not ask about the neighborhood area!
I respect the staff but the motel needs IMPROVEMENTS!

When I got to the hotel the man at the desk told me that he had no rooms available. He told me to try to get a refund on my room. He was very rude.

Bathroom had a shower curtain instead of a door.
David
The bath tub would not drain when I showered and the toilet would not flush!

Not clean
Nathan
This peoperry is not equipped for a human to stay any nights. The room had flies within it. The bed sheets had dried blood and burn holes. The floor looked as though it had never been swept. The innskeepers were kind enough but the facility was horrendous.
Miguel
The worst experience from a receptionist
Racist recepcionist dont give me the key, so i have to search for another place

Middle of the night water started pouring from the ceiling and flooded the bathroom and soaked everything in that area. The toilet had splattered poop behind it in the wall, the comforter smelled like heavy cat urine, the wall at the head of the bed had snot or something stuck to it. The floor around the bed was black and dirty. This place was absolutely disgusting

Condition of the room was terrible.
Johnathan
The property is affordable and check-in is relatively quick, but the interior walls have a lot of scuff marks, the toilet, shower, and sink are functional but showing wear, tear, and their age. Towels were visibly dirty and the shower drain was almost fully clogged. The area, by appearance and reputation, is unsafe. The metal bars protecting the check-in window reflect that.
Sally
The nastiest hotel

I didn't get the chance to stay due to the weather in St. Louis, my flight was canceled and the city saw record setting storms, and what made it so bad i don't belive i received my refund even though I purchased insurance for the mishap

They have mice
The manager is very rude, I had to ask for my deposit back, he almost let me leave without it. There was literally a mouse in my room. I was the only person who had to go to a different room because of so called maintenance but I witnessed others being checked in. I believe because he realized I was transgender male due to my gender marker not being legally changed. This place needs to be demolished honestly.

The people who worked there was very rude, the room was extremely dirty, overall it was a bad experience and I’ll never book there again
Aaryn
The parking lot had not been treated to clear snow and ice, creating a hazard for parking. The A/C alternated between blowing semi-warm air and cold air while in late January.
Chris
Freezing cold water, poor heat
I want my money back! The room only had freezing cold water and I could not shower! It also has a terrible heater. I asked for my money back but was denied. They said the water was because of the cold, but it was only 20 degrees or so. Winters are cold in St. Louis, so this is no excuse. There are a lot of poor folks staying in this motel. They deserve warm water! I was told by the lady working that she was not responsible for anything.
Sarah
You will regret this booking like I did
Very surprised and disappointed in this recommendation by the website. Not sure how this place has passed Health inspection or enforced renovation. The photos are unable to tell the whole story of how unsanitary this room was. Bathroom is separated from the shower with a dirty plastic curtain. Bed cover and sheets were dirty, smelly, and had cigaret burns on them. The entire room reeks of all kinds of smells and smoke. The AC system is as loud as a tractor. doubters of exaggeration can read other reviews. I was on the road and need to stay the night in St Louis had no time to checkout the reviews before I booked. This is the absolute worst place I have ever seen to be called a motel.
Patrick
Run away, forget what you paid.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STAY!!!
Filthy, disgusting, sleeping in a gutter would be comparable, the gutter would be an improvement.

Misrepresentation
The customer service was nonexistent. The woman who came to the window mumbled, asked me why I was there. The guy who followed her was no more hospitable. Where you have the pictures of the location with the paved parking lot, was a misrepresentation of the gravel, broken concrete that was there as my Uber pulled into the lot. The area was inundated with prostitutes and their pimps and drug dealers. The place was disgusting and outer appearance. I made an attempt to cancel, but was unable to do so. Checking was at 2 PM. We arrived at the location a bit after 3 PM determining it was not suitable. I booked a room with red roof. Having to incur additional cost. It making me reconsider using Hotel.com as for my future travel accommodations
Charles
I stayed there three days and they only cleaned my room once. There was dirt in the bed. The floor was disgustiong. The bathroom light didnt work. I was asked to clean out my room and trash when i left.
Shanice
Didn't like it at all
Rane
I was told check in would be at 2 PM, I got there at 3 and was told to continue waiting. There’s no where to sit inside, and it was 90 degrees outside. We continue to wait while being pestered by a wasp for 20 minutes. We were told to wait 10. Then when we finally get the card for the room, we walk in and it’s dirty. A used lottery ticket was partially tucked under the bed. Floor is disgusting. Bed was seriously stained and had holes from burnt cigarettes all over the blanket. The shower had writing all over it and debris in the bottom of the tub. There was no remote for the tv, sockets in the wall were exposed and dangerous and right by the bed. They lied about free ice, they didn’t provide the password for the WiFi and they didn’t care to be respectful. They slammed my door 20 minutes before check out while I was working on getting my shoes on to leave and proceeded to wait outside the door after I told them I’d be out in just a few minutes and just needed to finish getting ready. It was in a very unsafe neighborhood and it was honestly the worst experience of my life.
james
Very disappointed in this this hotel. In a bad part of town. Room smelled like smoke, I woke up at 5 a.m. coughing up smoky phlegm. Strong recommendation to stay away / not stay in this hotel unless you have no other choice. Note how dirty my feet were from walking on the floor.
Katrina
Run don't walk away from this place
I guess for the price you get what you paid for. The interior and exterior was in horrible shape. The rooms smelled of stale cigarette smoke, the floors are very weak and unsafe to walk on.
Robert
Uncooperative staff, unwillingness to correct, mice in my room.
Gerald
There was not a thing to like about this place. It was so bad that when we got there my wife wouldn't even get out of the car. we left and wasted $70.
Shayne
Terrible service not a single person spoke English behind the counter the rooms are disgusting I do not recommend anybody to stay there
Daniel
This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s in a terrible part of town that feels completely unsafe. The “office” is just the owner sitting behind bullet-proof barred glass, with no speaker so you can’t hear anything he says. I had made a booking, gave him my ID through a drawer, and it took him at least ten minutes to find it while I just stood there in silence waiting for him to do something. No attempt whatsoever at customer service. When I finally got my room key and entered the room, it was somehow even worse than I had expected. Reeked of smoke, mold and water damage visible every where, holes in the comforter and sheets, paint peeling, cracks in the floor of the shower/bathtub that felt like they may give out at any moment, TV didn’t work… you get the picture. I left to go see the city and when I came back a couple hours later, my room key didn’t work. Good thing I got back before the owner decided to go to bed. When he let me back in to my room, it was clear that someone had been in there while I was gone, which I think was the owner himself as far as I could tell. There weren’t many other guests there, but the ones who were there played music on the balcony out loud in the early morning. I would give worse than one star if I could.
Sherri
The place was unsafe, the managers even stayed behind secured glass and bars. You put your money and cards in a shoot out drawer. My guest went to the hospital that night because the air quality was so bad. This should be looked at by Expedia themselves!

This area to begin with is EXTREMELY unsafe and I HIGHLY recommend not staying here!
1:04am: 6 gun shots in far distance.
3:21am: Fighting with boyfriend and girlfriend who were spending the night right next to my door. The boyfriend caught the girl cheating and left her and drove away in his car.
4:28am: Girlfriend of above yelling over the phone. I’m assuming to her boyfriend.
6:02am: Car alarm of a truck going off next to my car.
6:38am: Loud car started a few rows after my car.
To top it off it claims on Expedia that dogs are allowed. Don’t buy into it because they will charge you a $50 per fee!
I absolutely hated my stay and I HIGHLY recommend for everyone to not stay here! The room smelled like smoke, the place was dirty, curtains barely hanging on, burnt cigarette butts in the curtain and on the blanket. Worst experience of my life at a motel. As I said DO NOT CHECK INTO THIS PLACE!!!!

Mice/rodents in room. Disceptive advising: no weekly or monthly rates although sign outside indicates they do. \"Only nightly rates\" per receptionist/owner.
Ricky
If you think you've had the worst, try this place.
I reserved a single night and pre-paid via PayPal on site several weeks prior. When arriving that afternoon, they were unable to find my details. When I said I booked online, they referred to a piece of paper that had handwritten details on it, yet they still couldn't find it and asked me to pay again. I showed both the receipt details and confirmation number, and they gave me a key to enter my room.
The quality of the room wasn't great, and the location is a bit suspect, but I wasn't expecting a 5* place. It was clean at least.
However, at 1:00a, the night manager banged on my door, accusing me of not paying and demanding that I pay again. Given the conditions of the neighborhood where the motel is and the time that he woke me up, he's lucky he didn't get hurt. I shared the same confirmation details as I had done with the other staff in the afternoon, and he went away for about 30 minutes, then came banging on my door again. I shared the same details, and he went away until 4:30a, at which point I heard banging on my door for a third time. However, when I opened the door, nobody was there, but I can safely assume it was the same man.
I packed up and left after a combined 3 hours of sleep, as I was sure he would just come a 4th time to accost me. When I contacted Hotels.com Support, they confirmed that my payment did indeed go through when I did the original reservation. \"Miraculously\", the motel was then able to find my reservation.
Avoid this place like it's the plague.

The lady up front has a real attitude problem, I thought it was amusing, I'm glad I was able to get under her skin by asking for the wifi password. If you don't have customer service skills then get the h*** out of hospitality. If I ever come back it's to dropa deuce right on there check in window
Chris
Stunk like smoke, sheets were stained curtains were disgustingly dirty, used bandaid stuck to the wall, cigarette butts around the bed, bullet hole in the wall, toilet was stained bath tub was epoxied back together, grout was gross and the floors were rotting. There wasnt even an office to go to. It was a window with bars over it in the parking lot and they slide a wooden droor out to you with your room key. If you dont drive a truck or suv, dont even try to get in the parking lot. Theres a huge dip in the entrance. Thought I found a good deal on expedia, but you couldnt pay me to stay there again. Would not recommend it to anyone.
Rob
Was extremely on hospitable and it scary
Mark
Check in was difficult. The property is on a busy street. The man is behind a window so it was very hard to hear him. He couldn’t find my reservation that I g he as made online. I had yo hand him my phone to prove that I made a reservation. My friend and I got in our room. It had a musty smell. The bedspread stunk so we rolled it down and sat on the sheets. I had to use the bathroom. The toile had feces on it. I cleaned the seat. Lifted up the seat and there was more. The toilet wouldn’t even flush a Kleenex. The shower had writing on the wall in magic marker explaining how to turn on the water. Very tacky. After seeing the toilet I told my friend we were not staying. We packed our stuff back up and left. I told the man what was wrong and said they should learn how to clean. I have nothing nice to say about the place. Appears to be homeless people staying there too. Off you are staying here, check your room completely first.
