Families could have fun game nights at this location. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. We did not travel with anyone under 18 and it felt like a good fit for us. The neighborhood seemed safe, however, it appears a storm had damaged some of the neighborhood ...

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Know where to eat around there Coming up to the property everything up that road was closed down run down

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

There are some run-down areas, but you find that everywhere. The motel is located a little away from the worse areas, and I felt safe there. Driving was easily negotiable and I felt perfectly safe driving alone to get to the hospital.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Just came in for the game.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

will get a deferent hotel next time.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The casino property is safe, clean, and patrolled. The surrounding area is a depressed, run down, unsafe looking slum. Easy to go across the river via metro, car, or shuttle to Busch Stadium, or other attractions.

3/5 - Okay
