Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good
"Overall, we were pleased with our stay. However, guests should be aware that parking is not included in the nightly rate. The only options are valet parking at $55/night plus tax, or metered street parking (which there is very little of). Valet parking is handled by a third party (Metropolis parking systems) and is billed to your hotel account. The valet attendant was extremely accommodating for us (she allowed us to leave the car with them while we went to the Cardinals baseball game then pick it up after the game). With that said, the hotel was conveniently located near the baseball stadium. It was an easy 15 - 20 minute walk. The hotel staff was pleasant. The breakfast buffet was nice with an assortment of hot and continental choices. They breakfast area is off the lobby with ample seating. Our room was spacious and clean. The room is configured for extended stays with a small kitchenette (fridge, microwave & dishwasher). Housekeeping needs to periodically inspect the room to ensure items like utensils, plates, cups, etc. are available for guests use. Our room was missing all the utensils and some cups. Not an issue for us, but something to be aware of if you plan an extended stay. The caulk around the shower basin (inside and out) needed a deep cleaning or replacement, otherwise the bathroom was nice."
