Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairview Heights - St. Louis

I stay here for work every other week and have done so for over a year. It's always clean and quiet, and everyone is so friendly. I spent over a year at the fancier places nearby and never got treated as well as I do here. Nothing luxurious or fancy, but it's the best hotel in the area!

The bed was really comfortable, and it was very quiet. The hallway carpeting was beautiful, and I liked the hard vinyl floor. I told the front desk about the problems in the room: the toilet made a terrible sound when refilling, the HVAC wouldn't cool, and the mini fridge never came on and smelled musty. The TV wouldn't let me change inputs and showed no signal. There was hair on a towel, a stained bed pad cover, and the toilet paper was almost gone, though there were two new rolls. The hallway looked nice, but it was stained and smelled of cigarette smoke. Breakfast was limited to cereal, muffins, bread, and coffee, and the waffle maker was broken.

The room and price were decent for our one-night stay. We didn't care for the breakfast, though. We'd stay again if we needed somewhere at short notice, like this time.

The hotel reeked of smoke and weed, which made the price feel way too high for a so-called non-smoking room. I went to bed with a headache and woke up with one. The doors felt flimsy, the walls were thin, the towels weren't clean, and the bathroom sink leaked. There was basically no breakfast out. I wouldn't recommend it.
