"The room was clean, the pool and fitness room were nice after long day on road. The breakfast was good, some hot protein options. The area had the things we needed and it kept us out of St. Louis proper. Probably won’t be your best la Quinta experience but we’ve learned when traveling through/near big cities need to bump up the budget a bit to have decent room in seemingly safe area. Little things like fitness room water dispenser empty and rubbery tater tots were disappointing but not huge...

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. My husband really enjoyed Gregory during the happy hour time. This hotel is an older hotel. However, the rooms are updated and nice. The bathroom is just on the smaller side. Two people cannot get ready at once but you can make do. The outside premises are very well taken care of and clean. There wasn't any litter in the parking deck area or outside the hotel. We were in town for a concert at the Enterprise Center. It is a bit of a jaunt to walk but doable."
