The place is new and pretty clean. The pool is not available yet which was a disappointment to the kids. Also the breakfast was very limited. The caulking in our bathroom was rough and looks like it was rushed.

It was slightly off-putting that the first experience I had with this hotel was informing potential guests that the pool was closed and if they weren’t okay with that, they could be refunded and stay somewhere else. I also think it’s misleading to call this hotel “St Louis Area” - when it’s 45 minutes from downtown St Louis and in another state. Also, we weren’t informed that there would be masonry drills hammering in our ceiling at 6am. I was terribly surprised at the amount of noise transfer between floors and rooms for such a new hotel. They also seem to have ongoing construction, which left construction dust and drywall dust in the air and on many surfaces throughout the hotel. Maybe seems like they rushed to open. What positive things I can say is that the staff was kind and it was convenient for what I needed, which was a hotel in Alton for one night.

BUT we went two nights of our stay without our room being serviced and the TV systems are not intuitive at all. Worst I have experienced. Just to get to a Channel, any channel, was perplexing. Ice machine on 3rd floor remained out of service our entire 4-day stay. Needed extra luggage valet in room. Front desk said they do not have extras.

The food provided for breakfast was outstanding & the cleanliness of the area was kept very clean throughout the entire time that it was available. The size of the room itself was very comfortable & having automatic control of the heat & air with a wall thermostat was definitely appreciated. Our trip was enhanced by our stay at your hotel.

Nice new hotel, but... There was only a dorm refrigerator in the suite. I was there all week and could not refreeze my ice pack for my lunch pail. Therefore instead of taking my lunch every day i had to eat out or get snacky food. Plus had no way to keep my drinks cold in my lunch pail all day. Also the TV remote was something else to figure out. I messed and messed with that thing just trying to figure out how to even watch TV, That thing should come with instructions on how to use it. First night i didnt even watch TV. Thank god for Tic Tok. Other than that it was a good stay.

No hotel directory or wireless instructions in the room. Cheap tv in room with no directory. Staff marginally able to communicate in hoodrat. Great coffee and breakfast. Very comfortable beds. Way overpriced.

My visit and stay was due to a major surgery my daughter in law was undergoing. The front desk clerk, Paige, was extremely empatic. The front desk clerk, Chris, was very helpful in providing the items I needed and helping me extend my stay one more day. Annette, the breakfast lady, was very friendly, always eager to help with food selections. I found her a joy to converse with. I would recommend this hotel to any one traveling. Although they did not have a pool, there were several families with younger children. The room was very well stocked with all the necessary items, plus many extras. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, the room was clean and welcoming when I arrived. I loved that there was a walkin shower instead of tub/shower combo. In this area of Alton, I would absolutely send my friends and spread good words about this hotel. As a mater of fact, I already have. 5 out of or 10 out of 10 however you want to score it!

The hotel is fairly new and the physical condition is excellent. The complementary breakfast was dismal, cereal was stale the fruit was next to being thrown out. I was going to make toast but the bread was stale as well. My first night i had to use the hand wash to shower with because the bodywash and shampoo containers were empty in the shower. The staff was not rude however they probably had someplace they would have rather to be.
