I was in this surburb of St. Louis on business for a three week work assignment. My company booked the hotel, which was an improvement over the hotel they put me in last year. It is a former Days Inn, fully remodeled and still going through the process. While my stay here, the pool is being constructed, and a Burger King is being built. Aside from the hideous bright yellow stucco walls that are throughout the complex, it is a pretty good stay. My bed was comfortable, room was a good size, with a work desk and a (not so) comfy chair and ottoman. There is a flat screen in the room, and a fridge and microwave.

The housekeeping staff does a great job. I spent the first week and a half in the room and Ramona was my housekeeper. She was dedicated to making my stay comfortable, and was very personable. My room always smelled fresh and clean. Her supervisor makes daily rounds to check the room, and ask if it was done to my satisfaction.

The front desk staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They were always quick to address maintenance issues, and when daylight savings left the parking lot pitch black, I asked that the timer be changed. The next night the lot was lit.

The BW ALton is not a fancy place, but if you are looking for a comfortable, friendly place, here it is. I would recommend this location. Happy Travels!

Staff were more than friendly! Nice big spacious rooms. VERY clean. Newly remodeled so very up to date! Great area near shopping and food. Very cheap for the great quality! Definitely staying again!

The hotel has recently been refurbished, and everything is new and clean. When we stayed in late October 2011 the pool was still under construction, and the parking lot needed work. It's a bit difficult to figure out how to get into the place, as one must enter the parking lot from an access road running along the back of the property, and there were broken concrete barriers and a whopper of a dip in the driveway to be avoided. The first thing I noticed as we walked in the door was the "new" smell. We also got a good deal with the "grand opening" rate....lower than the AARP rate!

Staff in the breakfast room was very nice. There were also several chain restaurants and food stores within a short drive. My advice is to buy any snacks you may want and keep them in the in-room fridge...the ice cream cones for sale in the "convenience pantry" in the lobby are $2.50 each!

This property use to be a Days Inn, nowit is a BEST WESTERN PLUS!! Thank goodness. This property has been remodeled, updated, refreshened and ready for all of us to stay in a very comfortabl room. Mattresses are simply amazing! Room is very good size, with ample electrical outlets, microwave/ frig, flatscreen tvs an just overall everthing you would need! KUDOS to the staff here! Keep up the GREAT work and I will definately return to this property in ALTON, IL.
