Ended up needing a place to stay last minute on a long haul home. Found this place online and from the reviews and pricing we gave it a shot. My friend and i had a great experience and the staff was so polite! Definitely recommend if you’re passing through Missouri and need a place to stay in a pinch, this place was perfect.

Cheap enough to warrant 5 stars
My stay at Finns was a mixed experience. While the room's bed was exceptionally comfortable—truly one of the best I've ever slept on in a hotel—the lack of any food options was a significant drawback.
I was surprised to find there was no free breakfast, a common amenity at many hotels. More disappointingly, there were no food options available for purchase at all. This meant that every meal required a trip off-site. For someone who prefers the convenience of dining in or grabbing a quick bite before heading out, this was a major inconvenience.
Ultimately, while the comfort of the bed made for a great night's sleep, the complete absence of food service makes me hesitant to recommend this hotel to fellow travelers who value convenience and on-site dining options.
