Top Central Public Library Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"All staff in the hotel were wonderful. They were very kind to my family & our children. They helped us and picked the perfect rooms very close to the pool so the kids could have a great time. I wish we lived local & would definitely stay again is we are in the area."

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to the Arch! 5 min walk. The ball park is 2 blocks away too. Breakfast buffet was extensive and the evening Kickback was a surprise with 3 free drinks per night and food that would pass as an adequate meal. Parking is a little tight in their garage but doable with an SUV. Just take it slow."

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location, amenities and large room with comfortable bed. We were able to walk to Enterprise Center. Particularly enjoyed the happy hour and breakfast. Did not appreciate the noise from the garbage collectors handling the huge dumpsters around 4am. For an upscale quality hotel you should contract to have quiet hours like midnight to 8am with any businesses your guest rooms face."
