We stayed here for 3 nights during our family trip to St. Louis..me, my husband, and 3 boys (ages 15, 13, and 8). The rates were very reasonable, and the location was great for us. Belleville is a great alternative for those who don't want to stay IN the city. The owner/manager was very pleasant over the phone, he gave us the rollaway bed in our room at no additional cost (it is usually an additional $5 per night). The site says you have YMCA tickets..and I was told during reservations that we would get 2 passes to the local YMCA. However, when we asked upon arrival the attendant said they didn't do that anymore. The reservation was made merely days before..and when we asked the manager the next morning he said he would "find" them and let us know. After another inquiry we gave up. Probably not a huge deal to most, but my husband works out daily and that is one of our musts when we travel. I was very let-down and didn't like being lied to. We would have booked a hotel with a fitness room if they would have been honest. They did provide extra linens when we asked, and we had all new clean towels and bed sheets when we returned from being out every day. Breakfast was a nice variety and fresh. Overall, the stay was nice..very cheap, clean room and hotel overall. We will not return because of the way the fitness center deal was handled.

April 8th we stayed in the "suite with a hot tub". Upon entering the room there was a musty/moldy smell. I purchased a can of lysol and sprayed the entire room letting it air out while we went to dinner. The carpet was filthy and stained. The decor had not been remodled in over 20 years and was quite dated. Mold in the shower and the floor of the bathroom. The hot tub leaked water onto the carpeted floor, thus the moldy smell. The carpet was sopping wet for nearly 5 feet into the room. There is no exaust fan in the hot tub room so the room becomes a steam bath when in use. We used it after I sprayed it down with lysol. It was late and we could not find another room at that hour.

Peeling wallpaper. No fitted sheets on the king size bed, just a flat sheet covering the matress. That meant by morning we were sleeping on the naked matress absolutely unsanitary and disgusting to say the least.

In the morning I complained to the attendant/owner? He appologized and said that he had let his kids play in the hot tub and they must have gotten the carpet wet. I didnt buy his story. The carpet was sopping wet. He didnt not offer to refund us.

This room cost 95$ I would have gladly paid twice that price for a clean, updated room. I will never stay there again. I wish I had taken photos. Health department needs to check this place out.

Went for a weekend shopping trip, only stayed for one night. It was a little difficult to find at first due to contruction and there was one way in, one way out. I have a weenie dog and they were fine w/ her, cost $10 extra a night, not bad. Got the Jacuzzi suite. When we checked in the clerk, Alicia was very nice and helpful, gave us bubble packs for the jacuzzi. (They didn't work but I had bubble bath anyway) The lobby was quaint but very nice. Got to our room, a faint musty odor like someone had smoked when it was a non-smoking room, but not too bad. The room was nice, some wear & tear, but bed was huge & comfy. The Jacuzzi was big but the head rests had some cracks in them. I put a towel over them because I have a think about wet foam, yuck. LOL. The bathroom was on the otherside of our room, very small and slightly outdated and it was hard to get warm since it was far away from the heating unit. Had a love seat and coffe table, was nice. Our windows to our room & jacuzzi room over looked the dumpster but ya can't have it all, right? Also, some noisy people running up and down metal stairs right outside our door. Overall, I'd stay here again, but it isn't the ritz to quote a fellow-reviewer, but after all, I didn't pay ritz money either. Just bein honest.

This motel is OK, rooms are old and not the cleanest. They have been working on improving the motel, paint ect. In our room TV did not work right, bathroom was dirty and the place was damp.

If you are going to Belleville, Il this is a good location right downtown and in a safe area. Front desk staff is very helpful .
