Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very nice and lots of things to do around it"

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"In our recent stay at the Drury Plaza in St. Louis at the arch, we had a wonderful time the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was hot with many options. The happy hour was the biggest surprise. Always hot foods with meat and hot dogs. It could easily be your dinner. But the best part was staff that appeared to enjoy their jobs and their guests."

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station

8/10 Good

"It was all around a great experience. The dining area was always clean and the food was good. Kickback was a plus and fun for the kids. The pool was interesting. The first night it was overfilled so when my 7 year old jumped in at the 3 foot section, he could not easily touch the bottom and we had to jump in to help. The next few nights it was cloudy. The hot tub seemed to need to be fixed- the jets blew the water out. The room was nice, clean, and accommodated us all. Staff was very friendly and helpful."
