"Decent. Well maintained considering age of the building."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Alton St Louis Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall a nice clean hotel. Breakfast was your typical hotel hot breakfast. Only issue was it seemed understaffed. Had a few reasons to need the front desk and had to wait multiple times for someone to show up (15 minutes at one point). Otherwise it was fine."

Hampton Inn & Suites St. Louis/Alton

10/10 Excellent

"We were lucky enough to stay at the homestead for about 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. Our pup had an absolute blast running around the farm, we got to enjoy quiet fires and beautiful stars in the sky. We even had a wedding event for all my family who couldn’t attend our actual wedding, and everyone loved the Homestead!It was like staying at Grandma’s house for the summer - so much peace and nostalgia. We never wanted to leave!Will definitely come back when we visit family in the area."
