This place is outstanding! Yes the room was small but not too small. It has a full kitchen, complete with full size refridgerator, 2 burner stove, microwave & coffee maker. It had silverware and dishware with a dishwasher. It reminded me of our condo.

When we first made the reservation, we didn't realize that they did not have a complimentary breakfast or pool, but then they more than make up for it with the Candlewood Cupboard. This is a pantry that is downstairs in the lobby. It has everything you can think of and you can either leave the money in the drop box or fill out a slip and they'll just bill your room. I picked up some pop tarts and a cocoa for our early morning but they have stuff from soup to rice-a-roni to frozen pizza. It's a mini-store open 24 hours for your convenience. Love it!

Our room had 2 double beds, very clean bathroom, large t.v., dvd player and a huge recliner (which my husband loved). It has complimentary internet service. The in-room guide said that you needed an ethernet cable from the front desk but if your laptop has wi-fi, it connects automatically. There is a huge desk that also served as our eating table. Perfect for the 3 of us staying. We only stayed for 2 nights but had I known the place would have been this nice and this inexpensive ($70/night on a Friday & Saturday) I might have stayed longer.
The place is right of the freeway and there are restaurants, Sam's Club, Walmart Supercenter etc within a 1/2 mile of the place.

If there was anything I didn't care for it was the fact that the people above us had small children that liked to run late at night and that was a little annoying. So if you can request the 4th floor, do it. Other than that, fabulous!

Stayed here on a Friday night, Cards game that night, proms, you name it - the place was full. Checked in a little early, and called ahead, and they were kind enough to let me do that (don't know if being Priority member changed things or not). Short drive to Fairview Heights Metrolink station.
When I checked in the tub needed a little more exterior cleaning, when I checked in a got I call a few minutes after arrival to make sure all was well, mentioned the tub but said not a big deal since I checked in early, but maybe someone could clean it when I was out. Front desk sent someone up in 5 minutes, followed up by manager with points voucher. That's service!

Located close to I-64 with many dining choices, mostly fast food. More sit down choices are one exit down in Fairview. Property, as with many CS, has a nice gazebo area with grills, and a nice pet area and a sort of marshy area around the pond nearby, nice for walks and pet walking. Price was good, I would recommend the place.

Had no trouble sleeping, and I am usually a pretty light sleeper and don't do well the first night in a new place.

We were on the third floor and complained to no avail of rude guests above us stomping at all hours. Called the room myself and got the typical no problem. Just beware that the floors are thin and you are better served by staying on the 4th floor (the top floor). You will hear the trouncing if you are on the first, second and third floors. the rooms are clean, they have adjoining rooms for the larger families. We moved into two rooms with a family of four. the front desk is nice, but some of them are brand new and are not knowledgeable on running a hotel. they have a gas BBQ you can use. be sure to check the gas level though before you drop a steak on the grill. no pool. they do allow pets for a fee. The kitchen offers a stove top only, no oven, a micro, dishwasher and a full sized fridge with freezer. you get a coffee maker and a toaster with all the utensils to include pots and pans. the frying pans stick, so we got ourselves some no stick pans. We stayed here a month. they have a fitness center with two treadmills, a bike and a elliptical trainer and also a universal gym with leg, back, chest variations. they also have an honor system mini general store on teh first floor and have no fee DVDs available for viewing in the room.

it does get quite expensive if you stay that long, but we could not find any furnished apartments so this was the next best thing as we waited on our house to close. i would recommend this hotel only if you can get on the 4th floor. good luck and hope you find this useful.

My stay was pleasant, however it was expensive. When I entered my room, I don't think it was ready for guests. There were towels, hopefully clean, thrown on my bed. There were two noticeably dirty towels on the floor, no shower curtain, and my remote did not work. I was slightly dissappointed to find that there was no maid service, nor a continental breakfast. In the end it was the friendly hotel staff that made my stay enjoyable.
