Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast"

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyable experience"

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience and walking distance from Cardinals Stadium and Arch"

Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch

10/10 Excellent

"Upon check-in, unable to obtain our room key due to a hotel technology problem. An employee walked us to our room and later keys were finally delivered to us. We used the valet parking option which worked very well. The breakfast buffet had many good items, but some of the hot foods were cold. Overall staff was good."

Wingate by Wyndham St. Louis Airport

8/10 Good

"The ease of parking along with an airport shuttle made the stay good. Room was fine. Staff was friendly. I will choose them again."

Motel 6 Hazelwood, MO

8/10 Good

"We had stayed at this property in the past when it was a LaQuinta. Wasn’t very happy with the Motel 6 experience. It’s true that you get what you pay for. Probably will not stay here again, and we’re in the St. Louis area 3 to 4 times a year."

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall I had a positive experience because of the event occuring duriong the time of my visit. The staff was friendly, helpful and professtional. I was grateful after a long travel trip to be greeted by kind staff - reception, valet, security. Each very different and very helpful. Breakfast was fine both dayss. The surrounding area is was not desirable. We felt safe because our stay was during the Beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen so there was alot of traffic, cars and people everywhere. The condition of the front desk, lobby and rooms are very good. Disappointing was the hallway, up near the rooms. Unfortunately, the location is the only thing that would kept me from rebooking."

Angad Arts Hotel St. Louis, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Excellent roof top bar!!!"

21C Museum Hotel St Louis

10/10 Excellent

"A bit off the beating path, but well worth the walk or ride there. Unfortunately I was only there for a day, so missed out on many of the amenities. But will definitely book here again and take advantage of all they have to offer. P.S. The room are well kept, roomy, and comfortable."
