Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful view, could see arch from room window. Loved room - clean, comfortable, shower was hot with great water pressure. Food was good and the wait staff were friendly. Laverne was the best. The drink and snack time from 5:30pm to 7pm was fantastic. Easily dinner if you want and 3 drinks more than enough included with your stay. Parking was convenient, very easy in and out. Easy location to drive places. Location was fantastic. The Arch National Park was right next door and the old courthouse museum across the street. It was fun to walk around and explore. My only complaint was no adult only time in the pool area. Every time my husband and I checked it out, it was full of kids yelling and running around. We did try to enjoy our last night, but it was hard to enjoy. The entire time we were in the hot tub, there were multiple children under 8 in the tub. No adult paying attention to what they were doing. Almost kicked in the face by a 4 yo trying to use it as a kiddie swimming pool, legs being bumped and toes stepped on. Went and sat at table to see if maybe would leave since there before us but still running back and forth between hot tub and pool after 9pm, so headed back to our room. Also 2nd hot tub was broke, not hot and jets not working. Was a great fun place to stay despite the pool situation"

"Staff were friendly and helpful. Room and common areas were clean. We like that our dog was able to stay with us for no extra charge. The only negative thing I'd mention is that the TV in our room kept going in and out. The picture and audio were glitching. Not the end of the world though. We both noted that the mattress and pillows were quite comfortable. I'm definitely going to be staying here while visiting again."
