Quality Inn O'Fallon - St. Louis - Shiloh

8/10 Good
"I felt confident it was clean & no bed bugs. The place is worn & old, but like I said clean. I hope you are not looking for a warm hearty continental breakfast, cuz you won’t find it here! Unless, all you want are the Belgian Waffles! They did smell amazing! The side door by where we parked our car, was not locked or even needed your room key to get in. Although, it looked like they were doing some maintenance on it? I’m old fashioned & wanted a paper copy of my bill. No one was on duty at 7 AM on a Sunday. Price was not outrageous, like other motels I called. All in all a quiet, clean place to rest your head."
