Great place to stay on campus. Extremely helpful and friendly staff you don’t typically find at the chain hotels.
This is a hidden gem. I had no idea this property was open to the public, and what a beautiful spot. The Washington University campus is gorgeous, and it made a morning walk extra enjoyable. The staff was helpful and our room was spotless. Parking was quick and easy right across the street.
Having a place to stay right on campus while visiting my daughter was very convenient. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable.
Great place to stay, friendly staff, nice room, bathroom, and TV.

The property locates on campus, convenient location.
Newly renovated, quiet and clean.
It would be great if the hotel can provide day time hot coffee in the lobby.

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff and restaurant staff. Lovely experience!
Room very clean, staff friendly. Only complain was the pub (at dinner) that was short staffed leading to long waits for food. Breakfast spread was great.
It’s beautiful facility and centrally located. Easy to get to the fitness facilities on campus. A nicer tea selection instead of Lipton bags would be appreciated!
Uneven front desk team. Some incredibly caring & friendly. Some downright rude. For $400/night, you are paying for the convenience of being on campus. Amenities basic.
Very clean rooms. Clean and fresh feeling. Appreciated the bathrooms looking so nice and clean too! Will definitely stay there again. Only thing I’d change is I wish there were microwaves in the room.
Stayed at hotel while visiting my son at WashU. Super convenient location. It’s very clean and well kept. The room was modern and the beds very comfortable. Parking garage was across the street and free on the weekends
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. I also enjoyed their selection of personal hygiene products available as amenities.
