Check in was quick and easy. Property was reasonably clean. Decor and furnishings were dated. Room had the absolute worst mattress I have ever slept on in a hotel. Paper thin walls, guests in the adjoining room were busy all night which made for no sleep.

Pet Friendly

This was a fantastic spot for our family with an even better location for our dogs. Due to nice weather and location of our room on the first floor, we were able to open the patio door so it made taking the dogs out far easier than walking them the length of the hotel. Exactly in the middle of St Louis and easy to get everywhere. Room was quiet, lots of TV Channels, and able to hook up the PS5 for the kids.
