“Great place for families or extended stay”

We stayed only one night. The hoteI's location is a bit of a hike from downtown St. Louis--about 45 minutes--but, with a family of seven (our suite could accommodate eight!), it was great to be able to share a suite instead of being stuck in two separate rooms. The total price was the same as what we would have paid for two separate rooms, so it was well worth the drive. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed with a full kitchen. Beds are firm and comfortable. We had a very favorable impression of the front desk, dining area, and cleaning staff--everyone was professional and friendly and seemed happy to work there. We did not use the pool area but several families with young children there for a more extended stay were clearly enjoying the facilities. Maybe I've stayed in too many hotels but I felt that the breakfast was fine but pretty standard fare: scrambled eggs, ham, shredded cheese, and salsa were the hot plate offerings. There was also a selection of lite yogurts, cottage cheese, and peach slices. Hot oatmeal and make-your-own waffles were offered as well as a selection of dry cereals. Muffins were commercially prepared, which the kids like but I find skippable. Wolfgang Puck coffee is very good. It's nice to have half-and-half instead of Coffeemate, although that was also available in various flavors. Two computer terminals and a printer were available for guest use in very nice surroundings. All equipment was functioning and internet speed was good.

“Good for two, but sleeper sofa not good for third”

We liked everything about it except the sleeper sofa bed. My son slept on it, and it was pretty bad even by the lower standards of a sleeper sofa. The mattress was very thin, the wiring too weak even for a skinny teenager, and there was no foam. The breakfast was good, the staff was friendly, and the grounds were nice.

“haha---- NON-smoking”

"Non-smoking" room smelled horribly of smoke and got increasingly worse over a 3-day stay. When we told the front desk, we were told, "Sorry." We are from California and this hotel was in Missouri. One can not smoke ANYWHERE in CA so we are really sensitive to this horrible smell. No daily trash or towel change as promised. Complimentary breakfast is everything you could dream of though!! Bed very comfy.
