We were visiting family and stayed at this hotel. I had stayed there once before and had a good experience so it was the natural choice. We were very pleased with our stay. Beds are very comfy. Front desk was very helpful and we requested a few extra coffee packs and the housekeeping staff left them. Room was clean except... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comments. I'm glad your second visit was as good as the first! I'm in agreement with you on the small openings in the trash cans. When the opportunity comes around to replace those tops I will do so. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip! Thank... More

Wedding blocked rooms here and I bit. Glad to take the bait. Staff was super accommodating and the room was among the cleanest I have visited for a long time. Close to food and gas. Not far from any shopping you might want and some you don't know about (and I won't tell!).

This is an above average holiday inn express. It is well situated and staffed. The rooms are excellent. Service too. Very responsive too the guests needs. Very good at managing loud guests that caused done disturbance on our visit.

we stayed there for two nights, and we had an awesome quiet room, very quiet room, their elevator/vending machines/ice making machines are all behind a steel door, that doesn't affect the floor where you at, so it is almost sound proof for a good night sleep, their staff/houskeeping/kitchen staff are so so friendly, Debbie in the breakfast room is great,...

We stopped in Festus for the night while traveling south through Missouri. The hotel was close to I-55, but behind a business, so easy to find and not too noisy. The woman at the front desk was very nice, our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and there was a nice selection for breakfast. There is also a decent... More

We arrived around 1 am and quite tired, but the front desk staff was very nice and courteous. We wanted to get south of St. Louis to avoid city rush hour traffic so I would recommend this hotel for those who are driving south. We were able to get a late check out the next day. The hot breakfast is... More

We decided to stop outside St. Louis. This turned out to be a very nice option for us. The room was very nice, the beds excellent. The hotel and reception area was very nice and stylish. Breakfast was very good. The rate was also very good.

Pretty much a brand new hotel with a swanky vibe for Festus. In a little off track location but everything you need is within a couple of minutes. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. This is a top notch hotel member of a solid chain.
