Planning a road trip from Vermont to Junction City, KS first week of August where the third night of the trip should find us staying around St. Louis. Probably grab a hotel off I-70 in that area. Any issues with motorcycle thefts at hotels or any should avoid hotels/exits?

 

I would suggest going around St. Louis using 270 and if you want to stop do so in St. Charles, Mo or St. Peters. Crime should be less and probably better hotels. Depending on the time you hit the St. Louis since traffic starts getting heavy going west about 2:30pm

 

Thanks. I’ll check out the two you mentioned.

 

at least stop and eat at Pietro's or Rich & Charlie's while you're there

 

They do have some great food

 

Mama does love Italian food!

 

go to Pietros and start her off with a double order of toasted raviolis, you won't regret it

 

I was thinking a stop at Pappy's Smokehouse was mandatory

 

Whatever you do stay the ____ out of East St Louis unless you want to engage in some urban warfare.

 

We got a couple new hotels out here in wentzville. Also there is a new embassy suites right by the streets of st. Charles
