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
