“Good value in St. Louis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

I'm getting over my hesitancy to stay at ABVIs. A couple of years ago they were hit-or-miss affairs, but I don't think we've had a bad one out of 5 or 6 in the last two summer vacations. I agree that finding the access road is a little tricky; I didn't want to believe the GPS at first. Some of the other comments posted by previous guests surprise me. The staff was friendly. The room was clean and the property well-maintained. We weren't offered the advertised car wash, but we didn't ask as there was rain forecast. The air conditioner was quite old but worked fine. The window on our ground floor room didn't open (not a mechanical problem, it was a fixed-glass unit). They had a good breakfast selection; the only disappointment was an english muffin that was too dry to eat.

“Grossed out!!! Will never go back!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The first room we were given was listed as non-smoking.When we got into the room it wreaked of smoke.We went up to get another room and the lady at the desk was very nice.The next room we were given was room 319. The room was nothing fancy but for the price it is what I expected.Then we started checking the beds just to make sure there were no bed bugs.What we found was just as bad if not worse.The mattress looked like someone had been slaughtered on it.The whole bottom half of the mattress was stained with blood. Don't tell me that you didn't notice that when the sheets were changed!! Come on! Then, the sheets were full of little hairs.There were bottles by the furniture and under the bed! Talk about grossed out!! But we had 2 little kids and it was after midnight so we went to tell the desk.She was very nice and gave us another room. That one was a little cleaner but after that second room I was just done for.The towels were soft though.

“Room okay but reception not”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

Room was good for the price but the reception at the desk was less than welcomeing. Room was not as clean as might be expected. Access to hotel a little confusing. Thin walls made for a noisy night with doors slamming at all hours.

“I would not stay here again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2011
4
people found this review helpful

My daughter and I stayed here 1 night. We arrived on a Monday evening, driving by the access road the first time we were in the area. It was not the easiest to find, but on the 2nd drive by, we found the road to get to the hotel. Check in was fine. We were assigned to room 111. We went downstairs and it was a little too dark for me. We got to our room and it was freaking cold. I tried to get the old heating unit to work and could not get the buttons to work. And then my daughter said the tv did not work. (probably too cold to work) I went to the desk clerk to explain our situation. She happily switched us to room 222. Just upstairs and next to the check in area. That room was much warmer and brighter. Our thanks to her. This room had a heater that was newer and worked fairlly well. The flat screen tv worked well. The Wifi did work great. The room was alright and the beds were comfortable. It was not the cleanest room I have every stayed in, but I was by no means grossed out. The breakfast was ok. They did have waffle makers, but I could not get any waffle mix to come out of the dispenser. I gave up on that in short order. But I did enjoy the breakfast after that. Check out was good. The area where the hotel is located seemed fine, and I did see several restaurants in the are. I would not stay here again, unless I had no other choices. The main reason was just because of our first room experience. If we had been assigned to room 222 from the get go, I would have been ok with the overall experience.

“great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

It was a great location for us. We were going to a concert. It was easy find and to get to. It was right off the interstate. The price was right. The breakfast was ok for me but my husband likes a hot breakfast.
