Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch
The "kickback" dinner and drinks at night made this hotel well worth it. Breakfast was good as well. Quality food, friendly staff, and clean and secure area. Location of hotel was nice near the Arch and Busch Stadium. I did get a room with an "Arch View" and while it was ok, probably not worth extra ...
