My wife and I have stayed at this Holiday Inn an average of 5 or 6 times per year, each year, since 1996. We have ALWAYS had good experiences at this hotel. I have never had any of the negative experiences listed below. We've even used the hotel for week long stays when we've had work done on our home (we live about 1 mile away). We expecially love the pool that is always clean and always the perfect temp. My work requires I travel the US a lot; so I have lots of material for comparison (as well as top level membership in most hotel chains - Marriott, Omni, Hilton, Sheraton, etc.). This Holiday Inn has consistently met or exceeded my expectations for a Holiday Inn level hotel. This hotel cost compared with the amenities and service match perfectly. The only drawback to this hotel is does not provide high-speed internet service (as of Feb. 2004), while two other close-by Holiday Inn's do offer wireless high-speed ability free.

I don't know what the other people were thinking. Not only have I stayed in the hotel but I had my Wedding Rehearsal Dinner there.
Everything was perfectly prepared and went off without a hitch. The staff was very friendly. There was a few wedding parties staying there the nights I stayed but the staff kept the noise to a minimum and did a great job. My hats off to all. I have stayed in a lot of hotels before - this one ranked among the best. Plus the location is excellent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Wow, sounds like the other reviewers have quite the hangup with this hotel (sour grapes?). I've stayed there with my wife and 4 kids on several occaisions, and while there is the occasional wedding party on the weekends, we've never had a bad experience! It does sit behind a Matress Giant, but I believe that was by design to cut down on the traffic noise (there's a major shopping mall and highway interchange across the street). They have a great sports bar (Krieger's) and the kids eat free! Indoor pool, etc, so I recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to maintain an average to above average stay in the area.
Friendly staff too! Meet me in St. Louie!

I should have know better when I saw it was located BEHIND Mattress Giant! Would have been better off to STAY at Mattress Giant. I laughed when I read the last review about it being a "dump". I wouldn't send my worst enemy there.
