8.6/10 Excellent! (1,007 reviews)
Old, rustic English inn with great charm. Room was clean enough, though rather dark, and bed was comfortable. No refrigerator, which really is a must when traveling. Had to request one, which didn't arrive until the next day. The breakfast was exceptional for an American hotel. Fresh berries and other fruit, homemade berry coffee cake, real eggs, and many other wonderful choices. Ice water available all day to refill your water bottles. The tavern had excellent drinks and food. The large sitting area had a gentleman playing the piano. Very enjoyable. We walked to Forest Park and the free St. Louis Zoo inside the park. Only complaints are parking fee, and there was a tornado warning during the evening while we were in our room for the night and no one answered at the front desk. We weren't given any instructions as to what to do in case of such an emergency, which is probably common for the area. Luckily, the tornado disappeared before reaching St. Louis.
