The Holiday Inn St. Louis - Creve Coeur seemed to be a new hotel. From exterior to interior, it looked new-ish and modern; however, the interior looked a bit cheap-ish. The hotel was located in a deep corner but adjacent to I-270. It was a bit isolated, good word for quiet but bad word for deserted. The front desk guy was friendly and cordial; to sign and deposit for any damage gave me a red flag on what happened to the hotel to have such a policy. The room was comfortable with TV channels (but no guide), fridge (but no freezer function), microwave (did not try), coffee maker (very good). Not sure whether internet was offered. I tried the available IHG network but it was not working. The bathroom was equipped with Dove hand soap, body soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion; I hope the pump surfaces were cleaned after each room cleaning. The room was equipped with USB plugs (e.g. for cell phone charging), very convenient. The room furniture was mobile but without wheels. Sliding a console table could damage the carpet, it needed lifting. The carpet seemed clean but already was worn-out. The walls looked clean but already had damage markings and chipped paint. The room door and bathroom door were metal and heavy, excellent to conceal fire in a location if happened. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. I did not try the hotel’s sport bar and eatery. In the elevator, there was a poster advertising a sport meal – a bucket of chicken and Budweiser beer.
