Fenton Hotels

We stay here each year going to and then when returning from our vacation site. This Hotel is always the same with no surprises.

Let me start by saying this has a happy ending. When we walked into the room you could hang meat in it. The temp. was 61 deg. They called to see if we got settled in and were there any problems. I told her about the temp, and she told me how to set the thermostat. I set it for 75 and we left to visit relatives. We returned to a temp. of 64. I turned it off. The next morning we awoke to a blistering 69 deg. On our way out I told the desk clerk about it. She took all the information and said someone would look at it. When we got back the temp. was 75, and I went to thank them. She told me the thermostat would only blow cold air no matter what it was set for. They must have started as soon as we left as we were only gone 4 hours. That impressed me. Our whole stay (4 days) was a delight. Everyone as friendly and polite. The room was extremely quiet and the shower straight from heaven. This is the second time we've stayed and look forward to our third next year.

This motel was a bit run down but it is obvious that the owner is working on updating things with a modern look. The room we stayed in had more amenities then expected. There was a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. But no hair dryer. The surface of this room looked very updated. But "behind the scenes" it was lacking... the comforter and décor were nice but then the blankets had cigarette burns, the room was non smoking but had obviously been a smoking room for many years prior. It still had a very strong cigarette lingering smell to it. The shower was newly tiled and the shower pressure was good, but then the tub wouldn't drain and I had water up past my ankles. There was a pool and it was good enough for my 7 year old but for me the water was alittle too cloudy. The breakfast was decent and the front desk manager worked very hard to make sure everything was stocked as people came in. There was cable, free wifi, a pool, and breakfast..AND no bugs. For $60 and only one night I say it's a win.

Checking in was a breeze. evening clerk gave us directions to a restaurant where the food was excellent. Room was very clean and the beds were firm but not super hard. At the front desk was a bag for breakfast for travelers leaving prior to 6:30.

Very helpful. Allowed us to check-in early. Had to shift some rooms around.

Our family spent the day at the St. Louis zoo, our 11th in a row. We did not want to drive the 3 hours home after our long day, so we spent the night here, and went shopping the next day. It was a bit sad for my grandson that the pool was already closed for the season. The suite setup was great.

Arrived at midnight and left early in the morning. Just good enough to spend night.
