Baymont by Wyndham Festus

"Disappointing Stay – Would Strongly Advise Against Booking I traveled to Festus for a car show and needed a budget-friendly hotel near local amenities. While this property met that basic requirement, nearly every other aspect of my stay was a disappointment—and at times, unacceptable. To start, the hotel was unbearably hot inside. There was no functioning indoor air conditioning, and the common areas remained well above 80 degrees throughout my stay. Check-in was quick, but the front desk staff seemed unfamiliar with the facility—unable to even direct me to the pool, which I never located due to the complete lack of signage. The complimentary breakfast was, frankly, insulting. The food options were minimal and unappetizing—particularly the English muffins, which were so hard they could double as hockey pucks. The oppressive heat made it nearly impossible to sit and eat in the dining area anyway. My room, while clean, was far from comfortable. The mattress was extremely hard—comparable to sleeping on bare concrete—and the cramped toilet and shower area offered no room to move. Several cockroaches were spotted both in my room and in common areas, raising serious concerns about cleanliness and maintenance. While I understand the hotel is currently under construction and the staff I interacted with were courteous, that alone cannot excuse the overall experience. The current conditions are simply not acceptable for paying guests. I had high hopes for this location but left deeply disappointed. Unless you have absolutely no other options within your budget, or until after renovations are fully completed (well beyond 2025), I strongly advise against staying here. I will not be returning."

"Great spot for us as a pit stop on the way to our final destination. Friendly staff. Room was a standard king and was clean and perfect for us. The free breakfast in the morning had lots of options. I would highly recommend."

"Recently stayed at the Comfort Inn Festus and overall had a very positive experience. The location is excellent — right next to the highway and close to just about every major amenity you could need including restaurants, shopping, and gas stations. The staff was very nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel itself was clean overall, and my room was spotless. The hot breakfast was also a great bonus and definitely appreciated before getting on the road. A couple minor downsides: the parking lot is shared and not dedicated solely to the hotel, and the bathroom in my room appeared to have some mold spreading around the ceiling vent area. Aside from that, the room was very clean and comfortable. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Festus area and would stay again."
