The property was clean. It was a nice stay and close to downtown activities. Was it the cleanest and best property in St. Louis? No. But it was affordable and clean enough to pass our test.

We had surprisingly been upgraded into a HUGE suite. The place is absolutely beautiful. Plus there is access to a snack shop 24/7. They are doing construction outside so their parking lot was unavailable. However, there was a huge parking lot right around the corner that was open to the public. It cost us $12 to park for the night! I am very picky and this hotel exceeded my expectations!

This hotel is in extremely poor shape. Not a single usb charge point, bathroom extractor fan not working, bathtub had patches of paint peeling off, as well as only 2 sides of the mirror lighting working. Overall poor lighting, funky, musty odour throughout the whole hotel, no breakfast, no restaurant operating during weekdays. Reception staff very unhelpful and had no record of our booking. Disservice to the Holiday Inn brand as well as Expedia
