9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,550 reviews)
The bed was horrific. The amount of mildew on the shower head was pretty crazy as well. To take a good shower, you'd have to be about 5 foot 5 inches with how low the shower head hung

9.8/10 Exceptional! (105 reviews)
Very pleasant, super clean… Definitely recommend if you’re in the area. St Louise has a lot to offer, best part was Cahokia pyramids (wish they were renovated relating to past versions) and of course a teip to the top of Gateway Arch.
