America's BVI in southern St. Louis is about the only low-cost motel chain in the entire area. Other competitors within a 20-mile radius all seem over-inflated. It is a *basic* unevenly-retrofitted older motel, but clean. Bed, bathroom seemed newish. Right off Interstate 55 and 255, so a very strategic location. In a (safe) mall area, so lots of choice of restaurant, stores, etc. Clientele seemed a healthy mix of ages, families, singles, etc. Desk employees were helpful. Breakfast was adequate.
