Top Turtle Playground Hotel Reviews

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean; the cleaning staff was somewhat hesitant to provide me with extra towels and wash cloths upon request. The breakfast bar was very nice; however, on the weekend the omlet bar was not opened until 7:00am (omlets were cooked to specification). You could not carry food out to your room or fix a plate to take with you on the road. This was very inconveient for me as I needed to leave hotel by 6:30am to drive to St. Louis Convention Center 20 miles away, park in 9th St garage and walk to 11th St to the Convention Center for morning services at 7am. It would have been nice to have been able to take a cup of fruit with me. The hotel had lots of garage parking; however, there were no lights in the garage except a flood light by the door entrance that led into the hotel. Parking at night was uncanningly frightening because once you parked your car, if you were not close to the flood light that lit up the door entrance or didn't have a flash light, it was pitch black. Thankfully, I had a very powewrful flashlight I keep in my car which came in handy. The hotel does not provide any other dining other than breakfast."

2 bedroom 5 bed in the heart of Dog Town

8/10 Good

"We had a good experience with this property. It was easy to access and I didn't have any trouble reaching the host. Dogtown is a quirky area. We were familiar with it and it worked well for us, but the area is a little gritty which could be surprising if you aren't familiar with it. It seemed like a couple of the nearby buildings were empty, for example. The place is above a garage, which we didn't realize when we booked it. It worked well for us with kids because we didn't have to be very concerned about noise. The place was generally clean and basics provided, but not a lot of extras. We were surprised that we couldn't find any sheets for the sofa beds though. There is a street lamp right outside of the main bedroom. There were blinds, but a lot of light got through. Overall it worked well for us given the price."
