Americas Best Value Inn - Collinsville / St. Louis

Just staying one night passing through going to see the gateway Arch for a day. Wasn't as bad as the ones I've stayed in before. But also only thing I liked was the front desk clerk she was really friendly.

Cleanliness!

I loved it here!

Water in sink did not drain. Not very clean and people sitting outside of doors of the rooms drinking. Did not feel safe. The breakfast was only yogurt and 3 pk of small donuts.

The location was great for us. It was near the race track, which was why we booked it, and it was super easy to get across the river to see the sites in St. Louis. The room was pretty clean and there was a Denny's, McDonalds, Casey's, and Walmart all within walking distance. Oh and the staff was very nice. The lady at the desk when we checked in was great as well.

You could see where they had painted over a water leak, which made me a little uneasy about if there could be mold, but I didn't see any mold. The outside trash cans were overflowing with stinky trash, which was a little overpowering when walking past. We showed up late at night, though, so I am sure they took care of the trash the next day.

Nice place to stay , very recommended

Bed frame was dusty, Bedding wasn’t cleaned properly, tiny bathroom, and tiny tv. Got deposit back, but hardly even used room. Only good thing about this place is there is a lot of food around the business.

The guy at front desk was super nice and helpful. I think his name was Chey, anyway, he was cool but the rooms where outdated, smelly, and dirty. 1st room was real gross, smelled like a porta poddy and even had a used cat litter box under bed. 2nd room was better but still outdated, dirty, a/c barely worked, and the soap and shampoo dispensers were bone dry.... I didn't stay, I went somewhere else.

Food options

Nice and helpful staff

There should be updates to the bedding and there’s no way to stop the tub in Room 119 in order to take a bath.

The bed was very comfortable, located next to a lot of Restaurants and Stores.

There was mold in several different locations within the room, Toilet would not flush due to low water pressure.
