Reserved under Holiday Inn Express. Checked in as Hotel Indigo. They did not include the free breakfasts and we had to pay to park. Too close to cancel.

Great property
When we pulled in the sign said “Hotel Indigo”. This was disconcerting since I had made reservations at a Holiday Inn Express. I also stayed at the same property in April when it was a Holiday Inn Express. It’s still an IHG property..
We appreciate the history of this hotel and it’s nice that the renovations celebrate this.. it’s on the National Register of Historic Places as the first motel on Route 66 in St Louis.

Not the best
Convenient location parking is a little hectic. Exterior the building is pretty rundown. But for the most part, pretty quiet and comfortable.

Unfortunately the Holiday Inn Express changed its name the day before we arrived to Indigo. No mention on your website or there’s. The eating area was closed for a total renovation.

The staff was professional and friendly. The facilities were clean and very well updated. The room was quiet. Parking garage was easily accessible. I would recommend this location! Location was just a quick uber to the Enterprise Center and the concert.
