At Best Western Plus Pontoon Beach, travelers most often describe clean, quiet rooms, friendly staff, and a generally satisfying hot breakfast, with many appreciating the warm indoor pool and easy highway access for visits to St. Louis.

Common drawbacks include recurring elevator outages, some worn or dated features, thin walls or hallway noise, and occasional housekeeping lapses or maintenance issues.

Overall, expect a straightforward, good-value stay with conveniences and a few inconsistencies.

We decided to stay a night here before hitting the road after dropping our daughter off to SIUE. Our room was on the 2nd floor and the elevator was out of order, which means we had to use the stairs every time. Not only was the elevator out of order but our room was directly next to the stairs, so all night we were disturbed by everyone who entered or exited the second floor. The door closing was not quiet so we heard everyone come and go. Due to not getting any rest we decided to check out early and head back home. Overall the hotel was very clean, my husband did enjoy the breakfast provided.

The elevator was out, but I was given an opportunity to back out of the reservation if that was a problem. My main issue with my stay is that an employee started to strip and turn over my room around 10:15 AM, before I the check out time, during a five-minute absence while I was taking the first load of luggage down to my car. I had taken the “keep out” hanger off my door, but the implications of stripping the bed on the last day are that I’m no longer welcome in the room. My belongings were still in evidence, which should have made the employee back out. I will not stay in this hotel again.

The room we had definitely needs upgrades. No shower curtain. The pullout couch was leather and it was peeling on one whole side, so they just flipped it over instead of replacing it. There were cob webs with bugs in them on the ceiling. Felt like we weren’t really welcomed when we got there.

The hotel looks good. The rooms are a bit dated but clean. I was very disappointed that the WiFi was extremely slow to connect and went down. I was unable to get a stable connection to work on homework for a college course. We got up extremely early to leave so we could get home in time to get the assignment turned in. I did let the front desk know that I was getting a local network error when trying to connect and all he said was it’s Spectrum. They are slow, keep trying to connect. Breakfast was decent.

Stayed one night and everything was amazing. Staff overnight and daytime crew were are all very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and although I missed the breakfast I know it was amazing too. I took advantage of the fancy coffee machine and poured myself a latte. The area felt very safe especially since the police department is located right in front of their lot. I would absolutely stay again especially for the price. Thank you for making me very comfortable.

I booked 2 queen beds weeks before our stay. However, after 15-29 minutes waiting for the key, I was told they did not have 2 queen beds. I would have to take a king suite. My 34 year old daughter had to sleep with her 75 year old mother both nights! Besides the wrong bedding, this suite?? had no couch, and the TV was in a separate room with a jacuzzi. No TV for us. I also paid much more than i should have! I will not recommend to anyone! I come in town to see family several times a year !

I needed a place to stay overnight for a bathroom remodel. I chose this hotel because it was highly rated, however, I wasn’t impressed. To start, I was given a key card and room # to an occupied room. After that was resolved, the mattress was extremely comfortable. I woke up with a sore arm and back. Lastly, I checked online to see the breakfast hours which stated they were 7-10 AM. I went down at 9:30 am see no breakfast of any sort available. It had ended at 9 despite the website saying otherwise. It worked for a one night stay but I won’t be revisiting
