Baymont by Wyndham Festus

Baymont by Wyndham Festus

📍 1200 W Gannon Dr, Festus
★★★ 6.6 (99 reviews)

"Disappointing Stay – Would Strongly Advise Against Booking I traveled to Festus for a car show and needed a budget-friendly hotel near local amenities. While this property met that basic requirement, nearly every other aspect of my stay was a disappointment—and at times, unacceptable. To start, the hotel was unbearably hot inside. There was no functioning indoor air conditioning, and the common areas remained well above 80 degrees throughout my stay. Check-in was quick, but the front desk staff seemed unfamiliar with the facility—unable to even direct me to the pool, which I never located due to the complete lack of signage. The complimentary breakfast was, frankly, insulting. The food options were minimal and unappetizing—particularly the English muffins, which were so hard they could double as hockey pucks. The oppressive heat made it nearly impossible to sit and eat in the dining area anyway. My room, while clean, was far from comfortable. The mattress was extremely hard—comparable to sleeping on bare concrete—and the cramped toilet and shower area offered no room to move. Several cockroaches were spotted both in my room and in common areas, raising serious concerns about cleanliness and maintenance. While I understand the hotel is currently under construction and the staff I interacted with were courteous, that alone cannot excuse the overall experience. The current conditions are simply not acceptable for paying guests. I had high hopes for this location but left deeply disappointed. Unless you have absolutely no other options within your budget, or until after renovations are fully completed (well beyond 2025), I strongly advise against staying here. I will not be returning."

River City Casino and Hotel

River City Casino and Hotel

📍 777 River City Casino Blvd, Lemay
★★★★ 9.1 (95 reviews)

"The casino hotel occupies a corner of the hotel. There are many choices of restaurants inside, the food is pretty good, the rooms are standard, and the overall experience is good, much better than staying in an ordinary motel."

River City Casino and Hotel ★★★★
"Not bad. Right by the river, the hotel is quiet and the casino is big, but they don't affect each other. It's convenient to drive anywhere, but you can't do it without a car. I booked a room with a courtyard on the first floor."
