The location is great! Nice area with lots to do. The outside of the building is nice with brick and cobble stone street. The lobby was also quaint with wood stairs and a fire place. In the room ( we had a 1 bedroom double queen suite) the ceilings were high the desk and two desk chairs were nice. The table set up with coffee and cups looked good and as did the bathroom, it was clean. The beds were comfortable nice blankets. But the sofa sleeper and chair had stains and looked like they got it off of craigs list! Not joking! There was a high pitch ringing that was also annoying. Front desk people were very kind and they had the complimentry cookies. They also have smoking rooms which is nice for the persecuted smoker.

Beautiful hotel and comfortable. Staff was very pleasant and hot/cold breakfast was good. Close to casino and St. Charles' wonderful historic downtown area. Parking garage could be a little bigger. Right on the river and very senic.

We stayed at this location as opposed to the St. Peters, Missouri Country Inn which is just a few miles West on Hwy 70. Mainly because the location is in a historic district with cute shops all around. However, there was a sewer stench outside during our 5 day stay, likely caused by the Missouri River which is within walking distance.

The breakfast had good variety as most Country Inns have, but whenever we arrived from a full days activities, there was not the customary offering of complimentary cookies available.
But there is a Walgreens close by if you need to satisfy a late night sweet tooth.

The property's decor is in keeping with the 1900s charm, so we really enjoyed that. I would advise families who have various phones, laptops, etc that need outlets, to bring a power strip or an extension cord because we had trouble finding enough outlets to meet our needs.

If anyone has pet allergies, I would steer you towards another property, because every morning I saw the same guest with her adorable pint-sized dog, BOTH lounging on the sofa in the lobby. People at the front desk didn't seem to find this problematic.

When we arrived in St. Charles on a Friday before Christmas, the town was bustling. We had tried to call ahead to make reservations at a restaurant called Premiers on 2nd Street, but the phone number was out of service. When we got to our hotel, Lance at the Country Inn and Suites tried to reach the same place for us and when he could not, was most helpful in getting us into a local restaurant just after we checked in. Otherwise, we may have had to wait hours before getting into any of the jam packed restaurants.
Hotel was pleasant, clean and comfortable. We travel through here frequently on way to see family and would most definitely choose this place again. Good location, close to historic part of downtown St. Charles. The restaurant selected for us was little more than a block away.
