Super friendly front desk staff, and my room was very clean. I chose this one because it did not have carpet, and wow was that a good choice. I always lift the fitted sheet and mattress protector when staying somewhere, and this was the first hotel I have stayed at that didn't have stains all over the mattress! And the mattress protector had a zipper that enclosed the ENTIRE mattress, top and bottom, not just sitting on top like a fitted sheet. Great breakfast, big tv, clean bed and bathroom. The hotel is very close to a Cracker Barrell, and across from Wally's. It is a good location for when you want to go to St. Louis but don't want to be right in the middle of the busy city.
