Review Holiday inn
Pros:

Everything was great! The beds could be a bit higher up from the ground and a little more comfortable. The room was a little warm even with the Air conditioning turned down. But it was still very comfortable.

Cons:

Temperature of the room and height of beds. Again this is a very small thing of all and everything else was 💯 perfect.

Pros:

Det kändes säkert med vakter när man kom sent på kvällen.

Cons:

Frukosten var helt ok. Ingen större variation.
Städningen kunde varit bättre, badrummet städades aldrig under vår vistelse men de bytte handdukar varje dag.

Excellent hotel stay
Pros:

Excellent hotel. Very clean. Easy check in. Nice and powerful shower. Plenty of room. Breakfast has a variety options that are hot but also grab and go items. Highly recommend cinnamon rolls, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. Cookies and milk are served from 8-9pm and are a nice evening snack.

The staff was helpful and kind and my room was immaculate. Close to everything we wanted to do, while still being separate enough to enjoy a peaceful night at the end of our adventures here in St. Louis

Smelly room, pool dirty, great breakfast though
Pros:

Upon arrival, room 414 smelled awful, like a wet dog mixed with mold and dirty socks. I called downstairs and in the hotel's defense, the kind woman staff member offered us another room that did not smell, but the senior citizens I was traveling with were too tired to move to the other room. The stench would not go away even after tons of febreeze and blasting the ac. It stank all night long. Even the pillows stank like it.
The pool was not nice. Human hair chunks all over the cement area around the pool. Water was a cloudy white color and felt slimy. Left pool after 3 minutes.
In the morning, the coffee and breakfast were excellent. Could not ask for a better breakfast, so that was good.

We'd stay at this particular Holiday Inn again.
Pros:

We stayed five nights at the hotel while visiting family and going to a Cardinals game. We've stayed one other time last year. We used to like the Hampton Inn that's right next door, but their beds we're very uncomfortable on our last visit.

The hotel is fine. Housekeeping could be better or maybe less distracted. Sometimes they emptied the trash, but not other times. Sometimes they'd straighten the beds, but not other times. Sometimes they'd leave fresh towels, but not other times. Breakfast was fine. Typical for a mid priced hotel.

They had security on the road leading to the hotel late at night, making sure you're a guest. I felt more comfortable with that as breaking into cars in hotel parking lots can be an issue in a lot of cities.
