Not shown: the meth lab that can be setup in the kitchen and the kiddie porn accessed on the laptop.

We often see hotel reviews, blog postings, listicles and other internet stories that declare a hotel to be the worst in the world but this Value Place Hotel in Arnold, Missouri might truly be the worst of them all.

The city of Arnold, which is just outside of St. Louis, recently forced a closure of the hotel because the police department received over 200 calls in just 22 months to the hotel. Putting that even more into perspective, the hotel itself has only been open for 23 months.

The City said the Jefferson County Sheriff's Drug Task Force, the DEA and the FBI responded to drug overdoses, prostitution, child pornography, stealing, assault, drug sales, drug manufacturing, rape, burglary and other felonious actions at the hotel at 888 Arnold Commons Drive.

Wow. Finally, something that makes bedbugs seem like cuddly creatures.

The extended-stay hotel only charged guests $199 a week to stay there, about $30 a night, making it a Value Place indeed. But the hotel's website shows no sign of the danger that awaited guests.

The website only show a generic rendering of a Value Place Hotel as the exterior shot. This is the same rendering they use on every Value Place Hotel's website and it looks like a nice quaint place to shack up for a while. Same goes for the room photos. These are all the same across the Value Place website. While certainly not design-forward, they look like clean spaces for a budget stay.

Then again, we probably can't blame a hotel for not wanting to post pics of the meth labs that are set up in their guestrooms. Still after this hellish hotel's closure, Value Place may want to rethink their slogan, "So clean, you have to see it to believe it." Ummm....

There will always be imbibers, gripers, lame, and profiteering person with us....the challenge is to NOT become one of them!

Concerning the Value Place in Arnold, Mo:

I'm not sure when these comments were made against this hotel but honestly found it quite contrary on every point.  This place is TOO clean in my opinion....and as for the hookers I wish there was one here (is that against the law to express my opinion?).  You sheeple that write such things might want to consider the closet space within your own existence before shelling others.

I personally see absolutely no sign of drugs (and I'm 4/20 friendly), nor hookers (pardon me if my opinion just happens to see most women as bills that make baby bills), or any other crime.  My tires were not slashed, my windows were not broken, my room has not been forced open, nobody has taken a knife to me, everyone seems pleasant and I could go on for two days about how these claims of this hotel being bad are simply untrue.

Even if it WERE true, if you aren't happy we all have the freedom to go somewhere else, and if you don't like porn, simply turn the damn channel....the answer to everything should not be to make another law for christsake....if you think you can build a better hotel then do it by your actions....otherwise shut the flap up.  LOL  sorry, that was the internet rambo in me coming out.

Quality Very good Facilities Very good Service Very good
Firstly, I was expecting the worst here (by reading comments made) but found the room very amenable. Stove top, microwave, windows, bathroom, very clean. Internet was fast ($10.00 extra) and staff seems helpful and tolerant. I'm presently here now on day 3 with 4 days remaining and will follow up to the experience. So far i can say yes, I would definitely stay here again (despite the mixup of my reservation showing one amount but the actual charge to me was $22+ extra (not including the $10.00 extra for the internet). The reasons I would stay here again are as follows: 1.) EVERY store one could possibly want within walking distance is here; walmart, dollar store, restaurants and supermarkets, etc. 2.) The full-sized refrigerator allowed my time here to be an overall savings than what I expected (I expected to have to eat out every night). 3.) There seems to be great security here (cameras, locking doors from outside and to the personal doors within. 4.) The place appears so clean overall within and without the room I assumed this place was relatively new....seems it's been around for a few years but sure is hard to tell by it's appearance.  If anyone is wondering why I chose to only give it a "very good" for service, facilities, and quality is due to my being reserved until the end of the stay. I will make the final assessment following my departure.  As a final note, as a business owner myself, sometimes it's competition that may write the reviews against you....sometimes you simply cannot please everyone all the time (that goes for all of us, in my opinion).  Any other questions?

Now for my extreme overall opinion:

Our kids have nothing to hope for.  It's my generation's fault.

We didn't stop the progression of treasonous acts here.  

Capitalism is the root of all evil.  Capitalism profiteers by whatever means possible.  We financed it by buying their cancer-ridden products, and running after more, more, more.  

Capitalism unchecked is corporatism.  We gave them our kids' inheritance by buying so much; the corporations became embolden and flush with our cash.

Corporations bought out our polity, the "representatives are now nothing more than bought people-managers that have control to send police and armies to wherever they will.  

The missile that went into the pentagon should have been a clue, but corporations own the media too.

Our laws have been perverted, our "supreme courts" looked the other way and created a new law, that corporations are to be treated as persons.  

Our blind faith and patriotism, not faith in god but faith in "representatives", has us all patritotic to the criminals.  

Corporations are persons according to the neo supreme court, Persons with great wealth.  

What future is there for your kids, when all they are taught is to be all they can be;  pulling a trigger and joining the military, police, and working for the just-us system?  

We damn well better hope there's not a God because we failed.  With apathy (not bothering to care) and ignorance of matters (the act of not bothering to know), we allowed this country to lose any semblance of a democracy (even our own constitution).  

Our kids are doomed. Our country has been looted but the looters own the loudspeaker, they own our media.  

R.I.P. Great America.
