Hampton Inn St. Louis-Downtown (At the Gateway Arch)

10/10 Excellent

"Use the pool at dinner time when children are not around... otherwise, do not use the pool. Breakfast was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful!!!"

Magnolia Hotel St. Louis, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s a beautiful hotel. Was clean and nicely maintained. Not much in the way of amenities. No vending machines or store to get snacks or drinks. Valet didn’t offer to help with luggage at all, just got the car. No help with luggage, no tip."

Le Meridien St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice on the inside. My room was clean and the staff were nice and helpful. I did receive a room that was missing the cover to the door lock. The light in the room was really dark. I did ask for a late check out, however on check out day I returned to my room to pick up my stuff and the door was pried open and no one was in sight. Nothing was missing and The hotel was almost empty so I wasn’t really worried but that was unsettling. The front desk informed me that I had been checked out."
