Drury Inns are our favorite hotels to stay at. They are a slightly more pricey than other options, but the hotel is clean, staff is friendly, and it's a great option for families. We chose this one because it was cheaper than the other Drury hotels within St. Louis, but it was still 10 away from the Arch. And like all Drury hotels, they have a free evening "kickback" that includes 3 free alcoholic drinks per adult and a small buffet with soup, salads, hot dogs, nachos, and a changing menu of foods like baked potatoes, pasta, sliders, and more. Plus free breakfasts. This trip was a little noisy because there were so many families on spring break, but honestly it wasn't terrible. And they allow pets for a small fee.
