“Decent Airport Hotel”

Jun 2010

“This is an older Holiday Inn, but you can tell that they are continuing the process of upgrading the amenities. I was upgraded to a surprisingly nice room. I stay at this hotel because National Car Rental is next door, so I can drop of my car the night before and catch the convenient hotel shuttle VERY early in the morning.” - BizTravellers, SoCal

“very easy to work with”

Nov 2009

“I didn't personally stay here, but I set up two separate business trips for groups. The sales office was very accommodating and helpful with our somewhat tricky and last-minute arrangements. Definitely didn't have any complaints from the guests.”

“Great Service”

Sep 2009

“This was my first stay at this Holiday Inn. From the Front Desk to the restaurant everything was great. I arrived earlier than usual. At first there was not a room available. Kristen as the front desk asked her Mgr for assistance. They immediately upgraded me to an Executive Suite. I dined at the hotel that evening. I had a full rack of ribs. They were outstanding. The croutons on the salad were the best I have ever tasted. I asked if they were home made? I was told they were and the Mgr of the restaurant told me she made them herself. I will definitely stay here in future business trips in this area of St. Louis.”

“Excellent condition - Excellent service”

Aug 2009

“Everyone I met the worked there was very friendly: Front desk at check in and check out and the two servers that waited on us during dinner and breakfast. The chef came out to ensure the food was to our satisfaction as well. Shuttle to airport was great, and leaving your vehicle at the hotel is cheaper than at the airport. I would recommend and stay at this location again.” - Guest from MidSouth

"Great People"

Dec 2008

“I spend at least three weeks out of every month in hotels. I always stay at Holiday Inn chains. This hotel staff is awesome. While I am there I get the very best treatment. I stay here for two things, 1) the staff, 2) the dining area. It is very comfortable with good food and company. Over the past few months they have added a third reason to stay. New Rooms. When you book a stay ask for a new room. I will give you an example about the staff. I mentioned jokingly about the ribbons tied on the towels and how at 5 am they are a pain in the rear. (while I was eating downstairs) The next day I came in and the ribbons were gone. They strive to please. Enjoy”

"Home away from home"

Dec 2008

I travel to St. Louis quite often on business with my boss. We always stay at the Holiday inn Okland park because the people there are like family. They have a wonderful hotel and are very proud of it. There food and atmoshere is out of this world. I would say that the people make the Holiday Inn chain proud with how they treat everyone that walks through their door. Thank-you so much for making my home away from home special in everyway...

“I am a frequent guest, my home away from home”

Nov 2008

I am a frequent guest at the Holiday Inn St Louis airport (oakland park). The rooms are better than most Holiday Inns and the food, location and service are better than any other hotel I have stayed at over the year's. I have been traveling to the St Louis area on business for the past 18 plus year's and usually stay 4 nights.

“Great Art, Great Stay”

Sep 2006

I think this hotel was lovely. Airport hotels can sometimes be in not so great locations, but this one wasn't so bad. I loved the art work, which is a great story in of itself. The hotel is filled with wonderful paintings that were done by the father of the owners of the hotel who started painting in his 60's. His work is absolutely awe inspiring. The airport shuttle was quick to arrive. The rooms were clean and had all the amenities necessary. The restaurant was just OK; in the lower level (AKA the basement) which was kind of weird. I took the shuttle to the airport to get to the Metro Link to go downtown, which was quick, easy, and inexpensive. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

“Very nice, clean, lots of art---not an ordinary airport hotel and reasonable”

Mar 2006

I have stayed here several times over the years. The staff is VERY courteous. The rooms are definitely better than average. The free shuttle runs more frequently than at some hotels. You can walk to a couple of spots for a simple meal. I cannot imagine anyone paying as little as $30 and not being happy. When I compare this hotel to many I have stayed at in Europe, it is the best bargain imaginable. I have recommended this hotel to friends who were also pleased. Read More...

“A good, solid Holiday Inn”

Apr 2005

Two separate one-week stays in Arpil 2005. All but one of the front desk staff very polite and accommodating, and that final person is good enough, just not outstanding. Staff good at providing driving directions. Rooms big enough, and clean. Wireless internet actually works. Equipment in exercise room works. Only had one meal, breakfast, in the restaurant; it was just so-so. Did not visit the bar so no comment. Across the street is a Subway sandwich shop, an Italian restaurant, and an actual Mexican restaurant run by and for Mexicans. They do allow gringos to eat there, the service is friendly, and the food is fine; but their English is limited so non-Spanish speakers will have only a rough idea of what they're getting until it's brought out to them. All three are clean with reasonable prices.
