Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was old but clean. Bed was comfortable. The free drinks and snacks in the evening are great and breakfast is always tasty!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

6/10 Okay

"There was a big (looked like a water bug) bug that was fairly well sized. I saw it my last morning there when I turned on the light that morning in my room. It scurried across the floor. Also, they ran out of bowls at breakfast as well as some of the juices. The eggs did not taste much of anything. The hotel was right at the intersection of where the city seemed safe and where it did not. I did, however, feel comforted by the security guard in the lobby. I would not stay there again."

Heritage Inn & Suites St. Louis/Fenton, Trademark by Wyndham

4/10 Poor

"The place looks nice but I believe there is poor management, we had to put a deposit down like all rooms but still haven’t received it back. When we walked up to our room it was open like they weren’t done cleaning. We didn’t have a comforter just a sheet on the bed, when asked about getting one the guy said well they probably ran out. Ok why do you not have enough comforters for each room or take one from a room that wasn’t being used. anyway we headed out to get dinner came back and asked the lady this time about a comforter and she said she would check the dryer with no luck she handed 4more sheets to cover with. The air conditioner didn’t work either! Not a comfortable stay at all. A Few towels were stained as well. When checking out there were 3 staff standing behind the counter not 1said a word as we handed over the keys! Over all just either a crappy night or they need to do a clean out on staff. The lady who gave us the sheets was very apologetic."
