"The room was clean, the pool and fitness room were nice after long day on road. The breakfast was good, some hot protein options. The area had the things we needed and it kept us out of St. Louis proper. Probably won’t be your best la Quinta experience but we’ve learned when traveling through/near big cities need to bump up the budget a bit to have decent room in seemingly safe area. Little things like fitness room water dispenser empty and rubbery tater tots were disappointing but not huge...

"We only stayed one night and had to leave early in the morning. But the room was very clean as was the lobby. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We had our dogs with us and it was no issue. It’s nice when a pet friendly place is so clean. The area around the hotel was nice as well. Wish we’d had time for dinner at the Capital Grill next door. We would stay here again and hopefully have a little more time to enjoy the surrounding area next time."
