AaronJB Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay at the W, but glad that this Doubletree turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Could you confirm what area this was in - was it Collinsville (Fairview Heights) - and the address? Thank you. :)Using the site's PRICELINE link is greatly appreciated. Link to comment
cardsfan Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 HI- just to add some info. I live in Collinsville. The Doubletree has just gone thru a huge renovation and re-opened. I have had drinks in the lobby bar and it is stunning. Just like a luxury hotel in Chicago.It also has an upscale, (expensive) steakhouse on the Property called Porter's. It is very close to downtown St. Louis- about 10 miles on the hi-way. I'm glad to hear the original poster liked it. It is located on the outskirts of Collinsville, about 6 miles to Fairview Heights. Address is on Eastport Plaza Drive, Collinsville, IL. Link to comment
