I loved the character that the hotel has. The staff at breakfast were so sweet and kind. The late night receptionist who was an older gentleman had no customer service and we had to call to let them know we were checking in late and he was poor at communication. The room itself had an issue with the shower water going on the floor. So based on these it’s not value for money. Also the towel on the floor was dirty. Better off staying with locals or at an airbnb. The restaurant was cool though and staff the guys who served us there helped salvage the hotel. Also the cleaning ladies were super sweet!

Nice property.

This is a great property location and charm. The pool claim sends you to another property. Pool pump not running and stairs into water missing. Di ning options in surrounding area more reasonably priced than hotel and very good. Street children begging are relentless.

The hotel has always been charming, good rooms clean and comfortable. The hotel has been remodeled, looks nicer but the bathrooms are a disaster, smaller in some rooms and water leaks everywhere. too bad.

Spirit of Saint Louis

Happy to be back in the heart and soul of Saint Louis. The Residence is more than a place. It's the historical center of a city whose past and future are connected, where religions and people mingle, where the Fleuve Sénégal joins the sea.
