I have stayed at a lot of motels in the area over the last 25-30 years; business, racing and an excellent high school holiday basketball tournament. Now the only one I stay in is the Motel 6 in Caseyville (618/397-8867). Several reasons: best price (I'm retired and paying my own way now); always helpful, friendly people; at the intersection of Interstate 64 and IL Route 157; excellent barbecue just down the road (17th Street Bar & Grill, the only 3-time overall winner of the Memphis World Championship). Also, a couple I used to stay in have been torn down to build a mall. There are a lot of malls and other stores in the area if you need to get anything.
It is about a 15-20 minute drive from the track, but easy to get to by going up I-255 to I-270 to IL Route 3. I'm used to it now but you might not want to do this.
