Top Washington University in St. Louis Hotel Reviews

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is awesome and definitely worth it. However, this hotel is very outdated, very chopped up floor plan and would definitely be elevated by a remodel."

Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Forest Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for our stay as we we’re heading to Arkansas. Easy to access off the interstate. Room was very nice. Breakfast was great!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Clayton/St. Louis-Galleria Area

10/10 Excellent

"……………..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Homewood Suites by Hilton St Louis - Galleria

10/10 Excellent

"We liked everything about the hotel and our stay, considering we were a party of 6. We had a corner room and you can hear the outside noise (hotel is right by the highway). Would stay here again."

SpringHill Suites St. Louis Brentwood

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a pit stop on our trip to Minnesota from Louisiana. We were able to go see the St. Louis arch and then head to this hotel after. It was clean and the staff was very helpful and welcoming. They had a great restaurant right in the parking lot that we could walk to. The breakfast was excellent and fresh. It was great place to stay with the kids."

Seven Gables, St. Louis West, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Seven Gables Inn is charming, and in fact is on the historic places registry. Marriott has now taken ownership. There is a beautiful outdoor patio that guests can enjoy. But the website does not completely reflect the reality - the restaurant seemed to serve only guests that were there for a wedding, no breakfast or dinner for walk-ins or other guests that we could see. Great location in Clayton near many restaurants and a beautiful park. Comfortable bed, great shower, nice bar and helpful staff. If you book a room, ask for the second or third floor (there are elevators) as the few ground level rooms need some TLC. Our room had no outside windows."

Residence Inn By Marriott St. Louis Clayton

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful! Staff at front desk and women working breakfast were extremely helpfull. Also had vale parking if needed"

Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Brentwood

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful accommodations! Helpful staff😊"
