Belleville IL where to stay what are local hotels like?

My parents and I have been frantically looking for a place to stay in Belleville - cannot find anything that has any kind of decent reviews anywhere. There are hotels in Fairview Heights but they are all booked

Belleville's about a half hour from St. Louis. Plenty of hotels there.

Have you tried the hotel located at Our Lady of the Snows - link from www.snows.org but need to call for reservations (618) 397-1162 or 800 682-2879.

If it must be Belleville you could search for a B&B. O'Fallon, IL has lots of new hotels and is close by.

Whenever we visit my parents in Belleville, I think that maybe we should stay in a hotel, because our family is really too big for their house. But then I look for hotels in Belleville, and there are none where I'd be willing to stay. I'd really consider someplace in downtown St. Louis if I were you.

I got married in Belleville in 1981. We had our rehearsal dinner at a restaurant just down the street from the old Belleville West High School; that is where my 20 year college HS reunion was, too, but I can't think of the name. Help me out, Belleville folks. There was also a motel there.

It wouldn't be Augustine's would it, missypie? Or Fisher's?

Yeah, it is Fisher's...the name came to me over the weekend. Do they still have a little motel? Is it decent?

This is part of the article I got when I googled Fisher's Restaurant:

"Belleville police and the Illinois State Fire Marshal are investigating a fire that damaged a motel next to a popular Belleville eatery early Friday.

At 1:37 a.m. Friday, Belleville Fire Department received a 911 call from employees of Fisher's Restaurant at 2120 W. Main St. They reported a fire at the adjacent Best Value Inn, Assistant Police Chief Roger Barfield said."

So apparently the motel was still there as of March. I haven't been in Belleville for years. Just happened to remember the name of the restaurant.

I hope the OP has found something by now. But, if not, I'd be inclined to go with SandyBrit's recommendation of O'Fallon. I suspect it'd be easier getting back and forth than from St. Louis.
