Pros:

The staff were all very kind, friendly, and accommodating. The breakfast was truly wonderful and well-stocked. The night we arrived, the elevator was out of order and the concierge took the stairs to retrieve ice and delivered it directly to our room. Everyone went over and above. And lastly, the beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

The room we stayed in was handicapped accessible; however, the door to the bathroom was so narrow a standard wheelchair would not fit through it. There was also only one desk chair for sitting, which made it difficult for two adults to be comfortable without one person sitting on the edge of the bed. The ice machine on the 1st floor was non-existent. The space where it should be was basically an open unkempt drain area which did not look sanitary. The ice machine on the second floor had a white PVC pipe running out of the back of it draining openly into a drain hole that looked to be moldy and filthy. It needs covered and cleaned and drained properly. The desk in our room had been carved/etched on like a tic tac toe board. The elevator was out of order, and if you are traveling with an elderly, handicapped individual that is catastrophic. Fortunately they were able to procure a first floor room, but this is not acceptable on any given day or time when there is only one elevator. The hotel needs updating and TLC, as does the parking lot.

Pathetic
Pros:

Festus location, dusty atmosphere, possibly mold in the ac units, filthy lining and floors. Could not prepare for a wedding in such unclean conditions.
