  Hotel was great! I would recommend this hotel if you are going to Six flags St. Louis. There is a shuttle that will take you there and bring you back if you stay at the hotel. The food is not free. Restaurant serves breakfast buffet style(10/10) and dinner(10/10). There are also several vending machines throughout the hotel as well. Housekeeping and maintenance was very easy to get in touch with if needed.(8/10) Front desk was understanding, and explained everything when we first arrived.(10/10)

  We just stayed here so we could go to 6 Flags for 2 days. Everything about our stay was great. The hotel is very interesting, lots of brick and stone, definitely an old feeling building. But the rooms were clean, the pool was nice, and there was a fun scavenger hunt for July 4. The shuttle says it runs to the park every 20-30 minutes, but we never waited more than 5.

  Unsanitary hotel. We were told my desk attendant that Coffee in lobby was made in a bathroom. One of the people staying next to us said there were bed bugs in the room and that Dave in housekeeping was very rude about it when reporting. If you are looking for a clean hotel do not stay here , I wouldn’t even want my children staying here . Buckets filling with water all through the arcade. It looks like they have roof leaks all throughout the building. If they don’t take care of big issues imagine the disgusting ways they “clean” your room and the common areas. The owners and hotel managers should be ashamed for running such a nasty place!

  Only good thing is how close this place is to six flags . Stayed here with family and the rooms are disgusting. This hotel has bed bugs and I’ve been told by Erica at desk that coffee is made in a bathroom in the back office???? UNSANITARY!!! Reporting this hotel to IHG but wanted to make a google review first. Also Mary at front desk seems to have a problem with non white guests, there’s another review of her using racist language which makes sense because she was very cold to my family checking in!!! Will never stay here again!!!

  I think the best part of this hotel was the incredible front desk staff. I had several booking issues and they were stellar in fixing it so I had my 6 needed days! They immediately fixed my days and billing and were so helpful. It ends there. As far as the hotel itself, the rooms were disappointing. I was expecting a very nice resort style room from the description and photos. The carpets need deep cleaning or replacement everywhere and were always damp& musty and black. My bed was soft. But there were stains on all walls. My ceiling had excessive water damage above my window, with peeling paint, and the room had a general very heavy use look and feel. Had some spiders, crumbling tile, mystery stains, hair in tub/sink. My doors were hard to close and I had issues opening the one from the inside hall. I did find the hanging soaps had a weird curdled look because they just refill them over and over instead of fresh mini bottles. Avoided that. My AC was ice cold the way I like it, fridge worked. But I had no microwave. I had to take the elevator to another floor to use the single dirty little microwave available for two whole floors outside the pool area. They need to be placed on each floor. I gotta say, sadly, it was run down. I did like the location and double door easy access to my car, there was a lovley lawn if you have pets or kids. I went twice to the restaurant and nobody ever greeted me and I eventually sat down and still nobody came. So I just avoided it the next 5 days and ordered out. There is a six flags shuttle, driver is nice. Pet friendly. I think the biggest issue I had was the pool area. While the pool is huge with lots of fresh towels- the unattended, unchecked children were horrible. There is absolutely no time when adults can enjoy it despite their one hour rule. I saw a small toddler under age 3 alone in the 9ft deep pool & hottub for 3 hours and had to report it. There is no life guard btw. I have no clue where this baby's mother was but he was in the deep end around boisterous, large older kids who were endlessly jumping, diving and pushing each other in.I know people are going to say kids are kids. But this was chaos. It's horrible. I feel like the hotel should have immediately removed him or at least found his mother. But, nobody did anything. Additionally, nobody enforces saftey so you have 20 kids cannon balling or jumping on top of you all the time. I was slapped in the face twice when kids hitting each other with 6ft long pool noodles. A rule that parents must accompany kids at all times needs to be enforced otherwise its not enjoyable at all. This hotel needs to remember adults pay for these rooms, and stop catering to unruly brats. Also, a lot of small children swam in the hot tub constantly alone, including two pre-teen 12 yr old boys with scuba masks/ flippers. It's not big enough for that, but they were there anyway, kicking water in your face and getting too close to stare at your body underwater. It was very inappropriate. Its really unsafe. At $200 a night it's a bummer. Unfortunately, there was black stuff floating in the hot tub and 4 days later it was still in there, so I dont know about the cleanliness. I went home with an eye infection. My daughter wanted me to switch hotels but I was charged IN FULL on day two. I would say though that due to staff, I felt safe traveling alone. I didn't use housekeeping. I was very pleased with how quiet it was at night. You cannot hear outside freeway traffic. There is also an arcade, shuffleboard, a bunch of seating areas and a little tiki bar but I didnt like that non guests could sit there drinking looking at children. I would also mention the movie rentals are almost $30 so you may want to have a DVD player with you, the tv has hookups for that and gaming systems. So I'd give it a 3 out of 5 for location, staff, convenience. They need to renovate or lower prices. It's just really run down. Believe the reviews.
