Magnolia Hotel St. Louis, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
If you’re just staying here to see a couple of baseball games, it’s fine. The restaurant is actually charming with good food, but the hotel staff takes away from the experience. Most of them could have cared less that we were there. The rooms are a little underwhelming for a Tribute Hotel.

Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark
We received a room without the king bed. The hotel gave us an executive suite but only the living room part of the suite. The hotel had the bedroom part of the suite occupied by someone else.
