I drove by this motel for 45 years thinking it was just a dump, but I decided to meet a family member and it was convenient and to my surprise it was although an old motel it was car cared for, and it was not a sleazy motel
This is the worst motel I've ever been to in my life and it's grounds are not safe for anyone unfamiliar with the area. Im from here and it wasn't safe for me. PLEASE STAY AWAY.
Its in a poor part of town. They are making improvement, but have a long way to go. Bed was comfortable, linens were clean but only one towel in the room. Light ou the outside was shinning in the window all night...only a light weight curtain in tje room. I felt safer when the owner told me someone was at the entrance atvall times.
Guy at the front desk was rude. The room looked like an escape room, pretty terrifying or like a crime scene. Filthy bathrooms, filthy bedding with burn holes. Dangerous area with crack heads on the corner asking for money as your are trying to check in.
Realize, we are talking downtown East St. Louis. One block away is the remnants os Sportsman Park.
This is where the Cardinals played until 1966.
I had been on the road for over 3 days. I was tired, and it was late. I was tired and looking for a bed, nothing more.
The sheets were clean, and bed comfortable. I slept well. Nothing current of fancy.
Woke up refreshed, and continued on my travels
Room was disgusting crack heads screaming the whole time it was really awful

I've stayed here before and it was perfect for my trip to sightsee downtown. Construction going on this time and the entrance can be difficult to find. It's not a fancy place, but it's safe, comfortable and inexpensive.
When I my room, it was filthy. There was riding on the bathroom shower.\n The lady behind the desk told me that there was no rooms available after I told her that I had paid online for it. Then she made me pay. An extra $10 for my friend of which I had already paid for all 3 of us, but she made me pay $10 more.Also , they said there was no visitors allowed. So overall , with the motel in the people that worked there , I am very dissatisfied
There was no towels to shower with, no remote for the tv, nor no shampoo, conditioner, or soap. Air conditioner fan ran the whole time even though it was set to auto.
