"When we walked the young lady that was at the front desk was slumped over the chair asleep. We woke her up. Then it took forever to get checked in and the girl was not very friendly. But our checkout experience was great. The woman there was very courteous and we was checked out very quickly. Beds were very comfortable and room was clean"
"Our stay at the Baymont was average at best. The staff were all very nice and friendly, but the condition of the hotel itself left much to be desired. The carpets, walls and hallways all appeared dingy, unclean and in need of much attention.
The breakfast was also very average, except for maybe the waffles. Having a gallon of milk in the fridge as opposed to an actual milk dispenser is unsatisfactory and powdered creamer for the coffee is about as low-budget as you can get.
Lastly, there are "No Smoking" signs all over the place, which even threaten a fine and eviction from the hotel for violating, however, there were people smoking (including hotel staff members) right by the front entrance all throughout our stay. We literally had to walk through a cloud of smoke on our way into the hotel and the whole lobby smelled of cigarettes. Needless to say, we will think twice before we stay here again."

"Repeat customer. Hotel is located well near many restaurants and shopping. This trip surprised us as there isn't a coffee maker in the room anymore. That's just no going to work. I don't want to tredge down to the lobby for coffee in the morning. Please fix this Holiday Inn!
Breakfast was good. Service is always top notch. Hotels is showing some tiredness and needs some refreshing in the room shower and common areas like hallways and elevators. Overall, a reasonable option for a quick overnight."

"This was the 2nd time I stayed at this particular hotel. Both times I was not impressed. I stayed at the same hotel about an hour away in Festus, Missouri several months back and it was phenomenal. This hotel in Alton, Illinois, on the other hand, was not. I called early in the morning requesting an early check-in. The man on the phone, Tristan, said that it would not be an issue and I could check in at 11:30. I arrived at 11:45. Tristan was still there. He said a room was not available yet and to check back at 12:30 or 1. I explained to him the reason for the early check in. All he wanted to talk about was why he was having a stressful morning. I stuck around until 12:30 and checked back with him. He is still there, but this time another person is there. I explained to her why I needed an early check-in. She apologized and proceeded to go to the housekeeping staff to attempt to accommodate me. At about 1 the room was ready and I proceeded to check in. Tristan again was rude and not helpful. I accidentally handed him my credit card and he replied "driver's license, question mark." So I get checked in and head to my room. The toilet did not work properly. Luckily, I never had to use it the 2 days I stayed. The hotel was not very clean. Floors always needed to be mopped the entire time. I go up there often. So looks like I will be trying another hotel the next time. Time to give the Hampton a chance. Everyone else was ok, but definitely not overly nice the way I expect staff."
