Holiday Inn Express & Suites Vandalia

My wife and I stopped here out of desperation, the weather turned bad on our road trip from VA to KS and it was the only IHG hotel in the area that allowed dogs (we have two full size German shepherds). The front desk staff was very happy and helpful in getting us booked at the last minute, and their pet fee is only $ 20 for both dogs! They even upgraded us and put us in a room at the end of the hall away from other guests when I told her our dogs are occasionally noisy. Multiple side doors are nice so we could get our dogs in the hotel without causing a commotion.
Rooms were pretty nice and included a mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, and our room included whirlpool and king bed (which our dogs promptly took over). Breakfast is awesome and if we had time (and less dog) we’d check out the indoor pool and hot tub which looked nice. We’re definitely going to keep this hotel in mind next time we’re traveling on I-​70.

Great stay, friendly staff. Breakfast was great, love their cinnamon rolls. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and neat. Great view of Walmart

Great hotel right off the interstate, very clean, large room, great lighting in the bathroom. Larger-​sized mini fridge and microwave in the room. Wonderful beds, with soft and firm pillows on each bed, very soft sheets. The check in went smoothly, very nice staff. Breakfast was good with a wide variety of hot and cold options. The pool looked nice and the fitness room well appointed. Wal-​Mart next door with a gas station and several restaurants nearby.

Very nice, comfortable hotel. Great free breakfast. All areas are very well maintained. Perfect for traveling in the area. Quick access to restaurants and shopping.

My friend and I stayed here over night with her two dogs. It was amazing. Amazing location!!! It was right next to food, pet clinic, and a 24 hour Walmart. So happy we stopped here to stay. I recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay over night with pets. So much room in the room for the dogs. Huge bathroom. Amazing just amazing

Five stars? Yes! I really tried to think of something that would take a star away, even conferring with my son, and could think of nothing.
Super quick check-​in; it took less than seven minutes, easily.
Very clean, nicely appointed room (even included a fridge and microwave!) I SO wanted to take one of those bed pillows but I was good and left it. (But I still really want one!) Very nice, smooth sheets! (And I know good sheets because I have 1000 thread count on my bed at home!)
Breakfast was served promptly at 6 (we wanted to get through St. Louis heading west before rush hour) Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, bananas (more fruit options would have been nice), hard-​boiled eggs, toast, bagels, english muffins, muffins, freshly made pancakes (cool machine!), three juices and multiple coffee options. No, I didn’t eat all that, but I did notice those options were available.
Check out was practically instantaneous and we were on our way!
On a Sunday night, our room (double queen-​sized beds) cost $ 103 which I thought completely reasonable.

Very comfortable, very clean, great breakfast. Convenient to the highway, but no noise that I noticed. 6-​year-​old son, the early riser, enjoyed the early opening pool while my husband and 4-​year-​old slept. Pool was clean and cared for as well. Wal-​mart is just behind if you forgot so, etching for your trip. Full breakfast was not skimpy!

Clean, comfortable, and well located.
This is all you can ask for. I would stay here again for sure.

This hotel was a great place to stay. Our room was very clean, comfortable and updated. The air conditioning and heating in the room works great. The bathroom was roomy, clean and brightly lit. The free breakfast had scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bacon, biscuits, gravy, cinnamon rolls, various breads and bagels, cereals, fruit, yogurts, fruit juices, coffee, and milk.
My only complaints were that the bathroom had no fan, which I really prefer for odors and humidity. And the in-​room fridge wasn’t very cold.

Conveniet to I-​70 very clean, nice pool good breakfast selection and friendly staff

Great hotel. Typically super friendly people at the front desk. Room 132 (um I think that’s the number) is the biggest and best king room I’ve stayed in. Nothing super luxurious but let’s remember it’s a Holiday Inn Express. Typically stay here when I come back home with the bf because there isn’t room at my parents house. The nice ladies at the desk will open the pool late if you want to swim or enjoy the hot tub. :) OOhh and the gal that works the second shift (white/​blonde short hair) puts out yummy cookies on her shift. :)
