Stayed there with my Girl Scout troop on a trip to St Louis (from Memphis) back in 1989 - it’s DEFINITELY been through some remodels since then, but that pool was absolutely memorable to experience as an ‘80s kid.
Thanks for sharing. I didn’t think there were any Holiday Inn Holidomes still open. I see a road trip here in my future. It’s a 7 hour drive from my hometown.
You're welcome! I had planned on visiting this one for a while, so I enjoyed making this video. I think I'm going to do a quick write-up on ParkRovers.com because there doesn't seem to be a definitive list of Holidomes that are still operating. I know there's a few more, including the Holiday Inn Alexandria (MN). -Andrew
Holiday Inns in South Carolina weren't like this. I like the shiny brick tile floor, the 80's decor, the Holidome swimming pool, the restaurant and arcade!! I want to stay here.Good video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words! I definitely recommend staying here for the amenities, history, and convenience to Six Flags. Also, I’d love to know where all of the original Holidomes were. While never affiliated with Holiday Inn, South of the Border’s Pleasure Dome is very similar. I need to do a video on that someday 😁. -Andrew
@@ParkRovers Route 66 is on my bottomless bucket list. Lol. Until then living vicariously through content creators like yourself! Looking forward to watching your Land of Oz videos. 🌈🌪
@@Amyco3167 I'm looking forward to visiting Oz again this year! I hope it won't be raining when I visit this year, but I did get some really cool photos last year with the mist 😁
Fun video! I stayed there in 2000 or 2001 when it was a Ramada. At that time, I was confident it was surely once a former Holiday Inn holidome that was sold off. Interesting Holiday Inn bought it back! I have video from that trip too.. I need to rewatch to confirm!
@@ParkRovers Andrew, I found the video from 2001. Public areas oddly haven't changed very much at all over the past 23 years, but rooms obviously have changed a lot. ua-cam.com/video/O9ZuL9xG-p0/v-deo.html

@@ParkRovers you’re welcome. I think I’d like the vintage Holiday Inn better than Six Flags! 😃
Haha, well the hotel is also close to some Route 66 attractions like the Meremec Caverns!

Oh, that's interesting! I didn't know that it had changed hands. Let me know if you find that video. -Andrew

I thought the retirement home was the Eureka holiday inn
I miss Holiday Inns with these indoor dome area's. We used to have one in Peoria, IL and now it's a storage facility...
It’s very sad that there aren’t many left 😢. It was really cool finally staying at one!
Stayed there many times. Well worth it
