A conveniently located bridge over the Mississippi River makes the drive to downtown St. Louis only half an hour and less than an hour to the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. The Waterloo Super 8 Motel is located on the outskirts of Waterloo en route to St. Louis. There are a number of restaurants that are less than a mile from The Super 8 and it offers free high-speed wireless Internet, guest laundry and a free breakfast.
The Sunset Motel is not part of a chain but offers clean rooms and very reasonable rates in heart of Waterloo. It is located on the town square where Abe Lincoln once spoke and where free concerts are held weekly during the summer. Rooms with a kitchenette are also available.
