I have stayed at this property several times before over thr last couple years because I started working at TJ Maxx Fairview Heights & live about 40 minutes away & there have been several days where I'd be scheduled for turnaround shifts (where I'd be scheduled to close til 9:45pm & would be scheduled to be back by 9:30am for store opening) & staff is always friendly, clean, quiet rooms, microwave & fridge included in rooms, & is a safe area & hotel. It is an older hotel & they recently repainted the exterior of the hotel, & breakfast is not included with your stay; so I'd reccomend bringing your own food unless you don't mind the $13/person dining fee for breakfast & lunch & dinner are served on weekends. This hotel is also within walking distance to the Circle K gas station, Lottawatta Creek restaraunt, TGI Fridays, & the St. Clair Antique Mall & is within a very short driving distance to St. Clair Square Mall. Overall reccomend!
