What a great hotel! We decided to visit a friend we see often in O'Fallon. We usually stay at the Super 8, but this time we found a cheaper hotel. We paid $55.00 per night, even on a Friday night. Part of the allure to this hotel was the in room fridge and mircowave, king size bed, the indoor heated pool, the jacuzzi, the work out room, the business center with free internet, and the free breakfast.
When we got there we were not disappointed. We were able to check in at 10:00 AM which was great, given it was cold outside and we had been awake all night. Our room was immaculate when we entered it. The staff was very nice. The bed was comfortable.
The breakfast was not disappointing either. There were the usual, cereal, danishes, toast, bagles, juice, milk and coffee. But on the other hand they also had biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls, fruit, and yogurt. What a great breakfast and all for free.
The fitness room is small, but it has 4 different machines in it. The business center has two computers and it's open 24 hours, which is nice. We had no problem getting in to use it. The lobby is very inviting with a fire place and nice furniture.
I was so excited to use the indoor heated pool and jacuzzi, especially since it was 5 degrees outside. Well I stepped foot into the jacuzzi and I am surprised I didn't get hypothermia. Apparently it's broken and they are awaiting a part to fix it. A sign would've been nice so I could have a warning. The pool was cold too, but not as bad as the jacuzzi. I don't know what kind of heating system they have, but it's not a good one. Maybe they just wanted to save money on the electricity.
Overall a great hotel for the money, and very close to the highway. (Though not too close that you hear the traffic.)
Oh and we never heard the train come through.
