Parking a 16' Foot Truck... (St. Louis, St. Charles: hotels, prices, safe)

[eloquent_alligator]

Hello All!!!

I'll be moving to Atlanta over the weekend and my first stop will be in St. Louis...

I'll have a 16' truck and was curious if any of you could recommend any hotels reasonably priced (100-125) that would accomodate my truck.

It looks like city center in St. Louis may not be a good option, but St Charles doesn't look half bad. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated!!! :-)

Coming from which way? Along I-70?

[eloquent_alligator]

Correct... I'll be coming from the West. :-)

If you're coming in Hwy. 70 from the west I would stay somewhere between Warrenton and OFallon. If you make it through St. Louis you will find places from Hwy. 157 and east from there on the Illinois side. You can park a 16' box truck at just about any of the hotels you'll find at a highway exit. Now I'm telling you about the areas where you'll find the best prices, because once you get into St. Charles and through to Illinois, you won't find them as reasonable, but there are many just west of, and across from the airport.

Of course, w/ the holiday weekend, availability may be a factor too... might try a hotel-based web-site, and find those that are w/in your price and location range, and give 'em a direct call. Good luck, and safe travels.
