Angad Arts Hotel St. Louis, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"It was just a beautiful environment with all around gorgeous sceneries. The rooftop was great. The surrounding area was great. The staff was very helpful, even allowing me to use the charger overnight because I had left mine, which I hope they don’t get in trouble for that because it’s very helpful."

"Overall, it was a good experience. The Front Desk people were very efficient and helpful. The only negative was regarding housekeeping. I called down twice to ask for extra pillows and they said they would bring them, but they did not.. Alao, prior to them, cleaning the room, I requested extra towels and a couple more of the makeup remover wipes that they provide, but only the towels were delivered."
