My husband and I live in St. Louis but decided to stay in an airport area hotel in order to save time parking and getting to the airport for a very early flight the next morning. My husband checked out this hotel and made a reservation in person a few weeks before our filght. We had planned to check in during the afternoon, have a leisurely dinner nearby and just chill out and watch t.v. that evening. However, work delays made that impossible. We checked in much later than planned & had a late dinner at the hotel next door (where there is a Friday's). Our room was clean and in good repair. Bed comfort was o.k. (Not the Heavenly Beds like at Westins, but certainly decent!) Considering the kitchen ammenities in our room, it was a good value for anyone wanting to stay near the airport. The desk clerk was nice and we had no problem whatsoever with our room or our stay.

I realize this review is a bit late but I only just decided to write it after reading I surprisingly read some very poor reviews on this property on a few websites. Some of them were fairly old reviews and I have no idea if the hotel has been spruced up since those stays or not.

We are going to be staying here again fairly soon (same reason) and would not have booked this hotel again if we had had problems the first time. IF our next stay is not a good one, I will post another review on this board. However, I think it will be just fine.

I paid $30/night through Priceline...so the room was dirt cheap. On the plus side, the room does come with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishes, utensils and frying pans. However, the bathroom had no blow dryer and only came with soap and towels. They also charged a one-time fee of $4.99 for wi-fi access when most motels offer it free these days. If you're stay is only a week or less, you get no maid service, and the air conditioner is extremely noisy. The walls were quite thin, the water flow in the shower was weak. Also, trying to find his motel can get you killed, as you can only turn onto this street from the entry ramp onto the 67N. When it's busy, you're lucky to avoid a crash. If all you are looking for is a "bed and a head" then this place will fit the bill.

I have read other peoples' reviews of this hotel and it appears that your experience depends on what day of the week it is. Some people find it nice and others find it very distasteful. There is not alot of consistency. For example I read a positive review of how nice the hotel staff were - specifically Tianna and Mike. I had a very bad experience with the same hotel staff. When I went to reserve my room, I spoke to Tianna and stated that I wanted to know if I could get a government rate. She responded that I could but it would be more money. She said it sarcastically like to say, "you are more than welcome to get ripped off if you want". I stated that I simply wanted to make sure that room was clean and the hotel was well run because I noticed they were a two star hotel. She said they were, but then added, "would you expect me to tell you differently?". I told her to forget about it but I was very upset at her sarcasm during our conversation. I called back a few minutes later to speak to Mike the hotel manager. He did not sound very sincere to me when I complained to him. I also asked him about the room and he stated, "it's a two star hotel and the rooms are clean" but he sounded like he was reading a 3x5 card. Not sincere at all or concerned that his employee was so rude. I even wrote an email to the Homestead Corporation about this but here it is over a week later and stll no one has cared to respond to me. I ended up reserving my two-week stay at the Candlewood Suites in Earth City about 10 minutes away. The price is the same and the people were professional and polite. The hotel was excellent too and I am so happy I stayed here instead of the Homestead. I am glad that some other folks had good experiences at the Homestead but it's seems more like a crap shoot to me.

To whom it may concern. First of all I would like to say that I am writing this note on behalf of myself and my family. We just recently attended the funeral service of our mother, while attending our mother services we stayed at the Homestead. Despite the fact that Priceline.com really caused us alot of hardship with flight and hotel arrangements, Mr. Mike Tobin, Manager at the Homestead, after explaining to him what we had went through with Priceline.com, without question he fixed a problem and put our family a little bit more at ease. Under Mr. Tobin's supervision, his reservation staff treated us with the upmost kindness, specifically Renee and Tianna, they treated us like we were their family members, probably not understanding that is how we were feelingthey were treateding us. They made us laugh in passing, which was something that was definitely in urgent at the time. These group of people were very accommodating. Not to go unmmention, our family was going through alot of stress and hardship at the time, but the staffs professionalism allowed us to keep things into prospective when it came to our problem that priceline.com created. We would definitely like to say thanks to these individuals and if there was an award that your company gives out, I would definitely recommend that they receive it. Once again, we want to thank these individuals for treating us how we wanted to be treated as if they were in our shoes.
