Top Central Public Library Hotel Reviews

21C Museum Hotel St Louis

10/10 Excellent

"The pool and the hot tub are ten out of ten stars. The service was great as were the valets. The location was a bit barren at night but not dangerous, just not a ton of options. Security was great; bring your key everywhere. Coffee was good. Price was as expected. Dinner looked good, but we had kids, and it’s definitely more adult food. But the pool and hot tub is perfect for kids and we will definitely come back!"
