I got this room due to there being a pool and a charger for my car. The pool was very dirty. The pool pump was not running while i was there told the front desk lady and she said they think the pump is broke. Never got in the pool due to there being trash and lots of hair in pool. Another huge issue is the key cards never worked. I had to keep getti g the redone. . Also it states there is a bar in hotel and its closed down.

The beds were very bouncy, the pool needs to be cleaned badly, there was a ton of black gunk around the drain area in the deep end. Most staff was nice. The breakfast was the same thing 4 days in a row, the pancake machine doesnt work, the lady who runs the breakfast is rude and says the pancake machine is new but she doesnt know how to run it... it should be her job to know how!! I wouldnt stay here again

Was a nice stay, friendly staff. Only issues I had was the hot water for the shower was not very warm, and the tub did not drain hardly at all. Could tell the carpet wasn't very clean but wasn't nasty either. Also, could only enter the building from the main entrance. Other doors were unable to be opened from the outside, out of order. Would stay there again

A well-executed mid-range hotel in a popular section of the St. Louis area. Easy access to interstates and main thoroughfares, and an outstanding outdoor pool. It's obviously an older hotel that has been renovated, but some features (like climate control and elevators) are functional but dated. Staff was extra warm and friendly.

This hotel is very rough and outdated. Everything is old, stained, or rotting. The bathroom door has paint peeling, the bottom was rotten and the tub had hair in it. They claim to have shampoo and conditioner, etc, but don't count on it. Door was difficult to open because none of our key cards would work consistently. The key card reader is decades old and worn out. Mattresses were really bad, they were old and you could feel the springs in them.

This was a mixed bag of a stay. On the positive side, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable, the two most important items for a hotel. Issues? Check in was a problem, I arrived after 2, they were strict on check in being after 3. Which I supposed I could live with, except then the computer system went down so I couldn't check in after 3 either. Check in was after 4. Room did not have a microwave, and refrigerator barely worked. Even putting drinks in the freezer didn't really help (and yes, it was on). Only one trash can in the room, and that was in the bathroom. Ice maker didn't work on 5th floor (which I was staying on) or 6th floor. REAL lack of electrical - no USB ports for phone, lamps had built in plugs but they didn't all work, so had to pull beds away from the wall and unplug clocks and such to charge phones, use C Paps and the like. Some staff were very friendly, others act like you didn't exist. Toilet in bath was "little person/dwarf" height. Good toiletries. Clean common areas, people liked the pool. No housekeeping for multi-night stay. I didn't try the hotel breakfast.

There was plenty of room on a wall between the ‘kitchen and the desk/ dresser/drawers!

The lock on our door malfunctioned more than it worked. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pillows were little tiny things with no support versus a king bed having king sized pillows. The bathroom was old, worn, and needs updated badly. Still had a pop off the wall hair dryer that didn’t dry well. Only a bare minimum of towels given that weren’t fluffy and absorbent. Only one washcloth given for two people. I had higher expectations of a Best Western.

Overall, the stay at Best western was okay, but the check-in process was a major issue. It took over 3 hours to get into our room, which was incredibly frustrating after a long day of travel. To make matters worse, we couldn’t check out properly either — there was no clear process or support from the property. We reached out to Hotels.com during the check-in delay to try and switch to a different hotel, but they were no help at all. We felt stranded and unsupported. The room itself was decent once we finally got in, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't book here again, and I’m very disappointed in the lack of assistance from Hotels.com.

Staff was like mad that you are staying there (womans) but the night guy was very polite and kind. Breakfast is the worst ever, all I can say is that you have to literally follow them to the kitchen because there is no food after 30-40min of serving. Taste is the worst (for the things I reached to serve)

I have now stayed here a couple of times while on road trips. The staff is always super welcoming at the front desk, the place is nice and clean and it is quiet. For the location and things around, the inside stays really calm and quiet for a good nights rest. Breakfast they provide is very nice as well and plenty of seating to relax, have a bite to eat and fill up coffee before heading out. Will stay again if I go through this area again

The bed and pillows were not comfortable. After asking for a late check out and being denied I had housekeeping coming to my door 40 min before my check out time to try and get me out. I had an event I had to be up for at 5 am and was trying to nap. I have never been told no you can’t have a late check out and also never had maids knocking on my door to get me out 40 min before the check out time. If coming back for work I would not pick to stay here again.

We have stayed here for a few times because the location was great and safe. The staff by the name of Gladys went above and beyond this time as our vehicle had a flat tire on the day of check out. Due to time constraint, we couldn't take our vehicle to fix immediately because we had to catch the international flight. She was very nice enough to allow us leaving the vehicle there until returning from the trip to take care of it. We ended up staying for 2 more nights at the property upon returning in order to fix vehicle. She was very helpful and understanding. We would definitely stay there again when we are in town next time.

Pros: Having a Chilli's restaurant attached, with a discount on your bill for staying at the hotel is very convenient! The room was clean and the lobby area was nicely decorated. Front office staff was very helpful and friendly. Lots of variety at breakfast. Cons: bed comfort wasn't the best - I kept falling into the middle. There's a blue light/glow outside on the patio that I couldn't see a way to shut off - you could see it on the sides of the curtains in the middle of the night. The pool was a great temp, but the 3ft+ side very quickly gets deeper once you're off the stairs - not good for little kids who aren't experienced swimmers. The bathroom sink and bathtub had a bit of rust on them. And no bathroom fan, which makes me wonder about potential mold. Only cable tv, but options to sign into streaming services were available. Overall - good hotel for the price.

Hotel is immaculate, staff very friendly. Breakfast was a bit of a disaster. We wee on the road so booked hotels with breakfast on purpose. There was only a couple of bagels, one cereal pot and nothing else other than coffee. There was still a half hour to go but it was clear the items weren’t being topped up. At least 3 families came in and left again, including us. A shame, because otherwise the hotel is lovely.

I went to eat breakfast on Sunday which goes until 10am. At 9:05 there was no more yogurt, hardly any eggs and the sausages weren’t browned and looked like a cats litterbox (sorry but true). A microwave in the room would be such a welcome addition. The pool looked nice and was being well used by others. I’ll come again once more to see if the breakfast has improved.

Great location, as easy access to dining options and convenient to many stores. The hotel staff was friendly, the rooms were clean. I gave 4 stars, as the hotel rooms could be improved. Upgrades to new toilets (to aid in better flushing), aging light fixtures, and better continental breakfast will make this hotel a 5 out of 5 stars! The breakfast on a weekday ran out of eggs, gravy wasn't cooked yet, based on size of crowd at 730AM there was not enough seating either, and there was no waffle maker in the mean time - which my kids always look forward to at hotels breakfast. After dishearted debate, our family decided to make way across the street to eat at another breakfast joint. Again- great stay for most part, but always areas to improve. Thank you for the stay - we'd return!

Really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and comfortable, in a convenient location with food and shopping options close by. The staff were warm, welcoming and efficient. The restaurant on site (Chili's) was a great convenience after a long day of travel. The continental breakfast had lots of options, but unfortunately the hot food was barely above room temperature. All the shopping options in this area were a great convenience for some necessary last minute/forgotten items. Would recommend and will stay again.
