Spent one night here while waiting for a flight. Clean, comfortable, nice bar downstairs. Shuttle driver was a sweetheart! No breakfast though, and no creamer in or near the (otherwise awesome) coffee machine downstairs.

On 8/30/2011 We booked a room at The Holiday Inn St. Louis at 4505 Woodson rd.We told them that we needed a ride to and from the airport and were leaving a car. We arrived on
9/1/2011 and were told that we had to pay more to leave the car. We paid to get a ride to and from the airport.When we returned from our trip and called for a pickup we were told that there was no one there to pick us up. The man that answered the phone said when we returned to
get our car, that we should come in and he would give us the money we paid for the ride back
to the hotel. I went into the hotel when we returned and he said the cab driver would have
to give him a receipt, but the cab driver had already gone, so they got me two times on this trip.
We have traveled a lot and have never been screwed like we were screwed by Holiday Inn.
We will never stay at another Holiday Inn.

P.S. I have complained several times and sent e-mails to no avail. We passed several
hotels just a short distance before we got there.
Just a lesson, if your trip starts like this one go to another hotel. Don't check in.

The Airport Holiday Inn is in a cluster of hotels at the airport - there are a couple of dozen, it seems - and is on the Southwest Airlines end of the terminal, though across I-70. (The St. Louis Airport terminal is about a mile long so knowing which "end" makes it easier to find a given hotel). The place is being remodeled - they are obviously spending some money - and the staff was friendly and informative. The restaurant was pleasing - though as noted it is at the end of a "tunnel" in the basement. They seem to have lowered the ceiling in the basement hall for utilities or some such, and the final effect is more tunnel than hall. The food choices were adequate - the menu is available via PDF on the hotel's website (http://holidayinnstlouisairport.com/files/menus/RestaurantMenu.pdf) and it was well prepared and the server was friendly. We were there on a Friday evening awaiting a Saturday flight, and like most airport hotels Friday night is not a rush period.

The rooms were clean and well organized. The linens were good, and they had extra pillows that appear to be of premium quality. The bathrooms were clean, well lit, and mildew-free. The airport shuttle was smooth and the driver very helpful. We were traveling with my father - who is 98 - and the hotel staff helped him navigate even though he walks slowly. All in all a pleasant experience at a reasonable price.

Fully agree with several previous reviews. This place is very convenient to the airport, the shuttle is quick and convenient and the rates are O.K. but it's dated and needs some refreshing. Loud window-mounted AC makes sleeping a chore. The Jet Set Bar & Grill was decent......but it's weird that the location is in a very dark & dingy basement. Personnel working the front desk and restaurant were very friendly and efficient. And.....similarly to a lot of airport locations, there's not much nearby in the way of restaurants or bars. Shuttle driver was very friendly, on-time and welcoming.
