This clean, comfortably appointed property is conveniently located on the campus of Washington University. Forest Park is within walking distance. It's part of a small conference center so groups of people are usually to be found meeting and talking in the various public areas and breakout rooms. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Complimentary water, ice, coffee and tea are available around the clock. Parking is in a Wash U garage directly across from the center. You have to pay (credit card) every time you leave the garage, which is a bit annoying, but the cost is modest and free on weekends. The Bear pub onsite is a nice place for a drink when open. We did not try the food there.

Family weekend getaway

Everything was so nice. Staff so generous. We needed extra items and they arrived within 10 minutes of requesting them. Parking was a little strange for us to figure out but not enough for me to actually take away from the experience

Nice facility but uneven service

Nice enough facility, but a less than ideal lodging in the summer, when it appears to be operated by a (mysteriously surly) skeleton staff. When I tried to order the Lobster Risotto at the hotel bar/restaurant, I was told that the only thing available on the menu was a burger and fries and maybe one other item.

The room was great especially the shower. It was very clean and nice. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was there was an $11 a piece charge for breakfast which was okay(not worth that much). Wish it was included with the price of the stay. Will stay again.
