Filming locations - Motels or hotels

Ask STL

Hi all.

I'm with a group of other college kids and we are trying to film a scene for my friend's senior overview film in a motel or hotel. We were looking into Chippewa Motel, but we've been having trouble connecting with them because they take walk-ins and today they weren't there for us to try and reserve as a walk-in. We just need to film a girl going to the motel to ask a man a question, then they have a conversation. It won't take very long. Are there any motels or hotels around St. Louis (or even specifically closer to Kirkwood) that we could look into?

Ideally we're looking for:

- something very inexpensive

- something that doesn't look like your average hotel with fresh sheets and pretty decor—we need something possibly a little older looking or at least not high quality.
