Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"Assistant manager checked us in. He was 100/10, so helpful and incredibly friendly. Hotel is clean, staff all were wonderful, and breakfast/happy hour was awesome. "

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy and staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold foodsz juices and coffee. They have nightly snacks and drink options from 5-7pm that were pretty good. Everything was clean and maintained. The restaurant that's attached to the hotel offers shuttles to different areas if you dine with them which was helpful for the ballgame. The parking was a little confusing at first, there is a parking garage but you have to have your room key to enter. We did not utilize the pool area but it did have a decent indoor pool. I would stay again."

Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Downtown/Convention Center

6/10 Okay

"Very expensive and very very basic. Would have at least expected a couple of complimentary bottles of water in the room… . Had to pay almost $10 for 2 bottles of water just to have something to drink . Valet parking was $48. Self park was $40. Pricey in addition to the $300 ish cost of the basic room. Would not go back"

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"We got a room on the corner of the building and it was so big and pretty. It was very clean. The room said 1 bed but it also had a couch with a pullout bed. Breakfast was good and free. Parking can be expensive. Felt safe here despite lots of homeless people downtown."
