This place was AMAZING! Very clean rooms, mini kitchens, and gym are awesome. The staff were very polite and eager to help. I HIGHLY recommend
Great 4 th of July Stay. The hotel is located near the annual fireworks. Only issue I had giving 5 stars was no breakfast. We just stayed in a candlewood in Tampa and they had an amazing breakfast. This candlewood said it was because of the kitchenette but every candlewood has a kitchenette so that didn’t make sense.
Very nice, clean hotel! Housekeeping really does a great job! Internet speed was 22Mbps, but you have to be plugged in for this. Wifi, on the other hand, was extremely slow for our laptops. Laundry is free, which is so nice! Also had a very nice, clean gym. The only downfall to the hotel is no complementary breakfast, but we knew that when we booked the hotel. I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, just minutes walking distance away to so many shops and a movie theater. If ever in the area again, I will most definitely be staying here again!
Very Very Very nice motel. Clean and comfortable. Nice staff. We will be staying here again. When we come back to St. Joseph Missouri.
Rooms are nice! Hotel is nice. But It would be nice if free breakfast was offered.
I rarely ever give hotels 5 stars. Look at my reviews, most of them are negative. We stayed four nights. This hotel was immaculately clean and the service was excellent. The room has a full size kitchen with a full size refrigerator. And the fridge actually works. I’ve stayed in hotels that cost twice as much that turn off the fridge if you don’t open it occasionally. If I were to nitpick, I’d prefer to have at least one pillow that isn’t humongous and I’d prefer a slightly firmer bed. Also the shower was a little too narrow.
Rooms were cleaned and well maintained, of I needed something for the room I got it before I got back from work. Would stay here again.
Great staffing and a quiet stay...... We stayed here on Oct 22 also. That stay was disappointing... Upon arrival I encountered a rude desk clerk. I provided my retired military ID card when asked. He examined it carefully and gave it back. I had to ask him to speak a little louder as I couldn't understand his mumbling. In our room we discovered that several floor tiles in the bathroom were loose and wobbly. All was reported to the front desk... Once we checked out the next morning I discovered that the night clerk did not give a military discount as discussed. He charged me full price. The morning desk clerk corrected this. I think??? This is a very nice hotel but I think I will stay somewhere else if this is how their staffing truly is...
Opposite The Shoppes at North Village mall and a mile from Interstate 29, this functional all-suite hotel is 3 miles from walking trails and animal exhibits at Krug Park, and 6 miles from the Patee House Museum.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Missouri. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
