"We liked the parking and how close we could park to the entrance. The breakfast was great even though a little repetitive. But, it was hot. Staff was very accommodating. Our bed was comfortable."
"My friend and I came here from Indianapolis to take in a cardinals game at Busch stadium. Location was an easy walk to Busch as well as the gateway arch. Room was great. Clean and quiet with good air conditioning and a nice shower. The free hot breakfast was great and we were surprised to learn there was also free dinner and 3 free drinks at the bar. Parking situation could be a little better but the free food and drinks more than made up for that. Overall a great place to stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property, quiet and just what we were looking for. Check-in was easy but we didn’t find out until after we booked that the pools were closed down for repairs. None of the websites stated they were closed. The bed was comfy, room was clean and out stay was wonderful. The only thing I had an issue with was the text message about check out… they wanted us to strip the beds take the trash and clean up to make it easier on the cleaning crew for the next guests. I already keep it clean (OCD) but they didn’t specify where trash cans were for taking the trash and to just strip sheets off the bed to then leave them laying on the bed? It was weird, I paid to stay at your hotel but yeah I’ll help clean it…"
