"The manager was very helpful. I thought that he couldn’t find my second room reservation, but it turned out that when Expedia asked me for the person name for the second room, they actually put that person‘s name on the reservation, even though I was making the reservation and paying for both rooms. So a note – if you’re reserving more than 1 room for traveling companions or family members, put your name on all of the rooms."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Alton St Louis Area by IHG

Alton

10/10 Excellent

This property is very clean, in a great location and appears brand new. I feel what really sets it apart is the exceptional, friendly and hard-working staff. From the front desk, to maintenance to the breakfast attendant, pride in their work is evident. This crew does an amazing job! Also, our room was spacious and nicely appointed. I really cannot endorse this property enough! 10 out of 10 I would return to this great property

when we arrived we realized the room we had booked wouldn't work as my mom needed help getting up from the toilet. Staff was very pleasant and helpful, moved us to a handicapped room at the same rate and checked to be sure we were comfortable. The next morning as we were leaving to meet family for Thanksgiving we realized we needed ground coffee for the pot and the hotel graciously gave us a package of theirs to take with us. The rooms were clean, nicely detailed, everything was in good...
