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

8/10 Good

"Very friendly, knowledgeable & helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Room clean but bathroom not spotless. The only real problem was being awakened before 8AM by some kind of construction or repairs probably in room above: hammering, drilling, sawing, thumping. Nice that it is walking distance to the Arch. Appreciated the river view."

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms, friendly helpful staff, nice complimentary breakfast and nighttime security make this hotel an incredible value. The location is great too.
