Forest Park Hotel by MDR

10/10 Excellent

"n/a"

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station

8/10 Good

"During snack time a worker used his dirty hands to pick up tortilla chips off the counter and put them back in the bowl with other chips. I asked him if he could replace the whole bowl of tortilla chips due to contamination. He said “what’s the issue? I’m going to put fresh ones on top!” I asked for a manager and she told him to replace the whole bowl of tortilla chips. I witnessed him use his HAND multiple times to swipe crumps off the counter into his other hand. Totally unacceptable. I did not eat anything that was placed out for 5:30 snack nor breakfast!!"
