When we are in the St. James area, we have booked our overnight stays at Finn's. The nightly price is really good and it is right by the highway. The room was clean but could be a little cleaner. The bed is very comfortable. The motel could most certainly use an upgrade but then again for the price, it is a good deal.

Though the room needed to be updated it was surprisingly clean. The beds were very comfortable. The motel was close to the interstate but was not a noise issue. The price was right and would definitely stay again. I would recommend additional locks on the doors

Although I was told by a State Trooper that this location had a bad reputation I found it comfortable and quiet. The staff seemed ambivalent and they weren't even around when I went to check out. The room was ckean and teh bed comfortable. The shower pressure was good and it was quiet all night. I would recommend this for future stays with the hope that they would work to improve their reputation with local authorities.

Warning!
Strong smell of sewer gas! We ran water in all drains in case the drain traps were dry - but it did not help. Owner moved us to another room but it had tha same smell. Wife was feeling sick. Owner tried to move us again, but by this time we had enough of their lies. We left and got a room in a nearby town. The owner would not give us a refund - even though we did not stay the night.

I use to stay here a couple times a year. Its been a few years I've been here. Definitely the condition of the property is getting worse. Use to be really clean but this stay was unsettling. There were shoe prints all over the floor. The sheets had stains on them. Found a spider in the bed. There was 3 feather pillows on the bed. 2 of them were yellow. Was in a none smoking room 20 but there were yellow cigarette stains all over the counter of the sink. Bathroom in desperate state of maintenance. Bathtub chipping. Bathroom door needs painting. Bathroom mat was dirty. Towels stained. Bed was comfy. Unfortunate to say but i went be staying here anymore.

Fishing Trip
We stayed here with our grandson while Trout fishing at Meramec Springs. Our room was clean, comfortable & quiet. The only issue we had was the shower head in our room was not good. I would spray water many directions, and the pressure was not strong enough to wash/rinse hair. Would definitely stay here again.

The room was clean. The shower faucet had a constant drip which was a bit annoying at night. The hotel is also right next to Interstate 44 so semi are jake braking throughout the night. There can be a bit of an unsavory crowd lurking around after dark. Be sure your vehicle is locked up.

Received what I was expecting for this price point. It is an older property that isn't completely awful inside. It is near a highway, so you get some road noise. Not a big mega name property but you're not paying a big price.
