    2nd visit to Alton Cracker Factory (Lewis Suite) & another great home base for an extended weekend of activities with great river views. Able to house 4 adults and 2 kids, blow up mattresses. Mike (the owner) was very responsive and supportive. While the weather wasn't super, the suite was a great space for some family indoor activities. One recommendation would be to add some privacy blinds to the main windows so that guests on the shared deck space can't see into the main living spaces, especially after dark.

    I was hosting a baby shower for some dear friends, but needed a bit more space to accommodate everyone. I reached out to The Cracker Factory and Mike promptly responded answering all my questions. I chose to stay two nights to (treat myself) have plenty of time for set-up and clean up. The Eagle's Nest was gorgeous and perfect for the shower. Even on a gloomy November weekend, the view of the riverfront is incredible. Everyone at the shower was very impressed with the space and I heard many people chatting about booking for a friends' weekend, NYE, 4th of July, etc. There is a bit of walking up stairs as they don't have an elevator but it's really not bad and I hauled *a lot* of stuff upstairs and downstairs. Can't wait to stay again - just for fun!

    We had a beautiful, fun, 90th birthday celebration for Bonnie at the Cracker Factory. The Cracker Factory was absolutely perfect in every way!! The best owner and staff ever!! Stunning accommodations in a perfect location! The perfect size for our family event. Everything about this place goes above and beyond expectations!! We had the event in the Penthouse suite but also used a couple of the other suites for out of town family members. Everything was outstanding! We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the Cracker Factory, everything was PERFECT!! If I could rate it a 20, I would!!

    Awesome! We rented the penthouse for a bridal happy hour shower and it was the perfect event space for our thirty guest. Having a full kitchen, island and huge dining table gave us plenty of service space for all the booze and food. The large living room was roomy and allowed all the guest to gather around as the bride opened all her gifts. The penthouse also has two bedrooms each with its own bathroom and a laundry room. Everyone joked how they could live here. It truly is that homey and comfortable. A true highlight was huge and I do mean huge balcony with a view of the majestic Mississippi river. A gas grill and two dining tables on the balcony would be perfect for a 4th of July party to view the fireworks. After the BHHS, a select group of the ladies spent the night and loved it. This is a hidden gem in the Alton area. If you need a B &B in the Riverbend area, I highly recommend the Alton Cracker Factory. I'll be back? - If the opportunity arises & highly recommend. When: April 28, 2019 Why: Bridal Shower in Penthouse

    The website for the Cracker Factory is spot on! Owner Mike hasn't been renting out these four units very long - because he has been putting a lot of time and thought into getting his project done right - but the units are available now and they are awesome!!! My small group stayed in the Lewis suite. Two beautiful bedrooms - two beautiful bathrooms and the highest quality of materials throughout. Just the windows and doors to the deck/balcony cost a zillion dollars. Ok, maybe I exaggerate a wee bit. This property is THE place to stay if you are hanging out in the St. Louis area for more than one night. If you are in the St. Louis area on business it appears Mike will give you a good rate for the week. However the regular daily price is no more than Hampton Inn. This property is located in Alton - about 30 minutes to St. Louis on a Sunday. There are some really interesting things in and around Alton (including Grafton down the river road a bit). Alton is undergoing a transition from a lot of antique stores to a decent amount of antique stores and a growing number of pretty good eateries. Stayed three days this visit. Planning on coming back in October to stay another three or four.

    This place is owned and run by the folks at the Beall Mansion in alton which is right across the…read morestreet. I tried to stay there as I had such a great experience last time. They were booked so Jim, the owner to,d me they owned this place, the George Street Suites, and offered it as an alternative. Sure! I said. And he charged me $139 bucks a nifght for two nights. What a DUMP! The place stunk of must and cigarette smoke. The couch had huge rips in it and the furniture looked like something they got off the sidewalk. I turned on the water and a bunch of brown came put if the faucet. I asked if Jim if we could cancel our following nights stay and get a refund. Jim agreed and I told him what we found. He did refund me for the one night but I do feel taken for paying $139 for such an awful place. What a disappointment

    From the owner: Where would you rather stay tonight?…read more (a) a crowded noisey hotel or motel. or (b). the spacious all suites lodging of George Street Suites? For about the same price as a run-of-the-mill hotel or motel room you could be relaxing in your own safe, quiet, and spacious 600 to 780 square foot suite with bedroom(s), living room, and full kitchen, kitchen. Only 11 blocks from the Mississippi River, 21 miles from St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and 23 miles from the St. Louis Gateway Arch.
