Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Brentwood

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town for a Haloween event and this location was close to our venue. The property was lovely and clean and beds were comfy. The best part of our stay was the staff though. Our check in process was amazing, the bar tender in the evening was fantastic and the person running the breakfast area was beyond friendly. Would stay here again without hesitation."

The Cheshire

10/10 Excellent

"The front staff was so welcoming and kind. The room so unique"

Homewood Suites by Hilton St Louis - Galleria

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but furniture was moved all over the place. All the couch and chair cushions were scattered about the room. The kitchen table was in the middle of the walk way, I had to move things for my terminally ill spouse to be able to get to the bed. We ended up having to stay another night and the rate for the second night was DOUBLE the price of the first night. Customer service was sorely lacking here compared to the other places we stayed during this trip. The pool was closed it was green. The indoor pool was a huge reason we picked this particular hotel."

Le Méridien St. Louis Clayton

8/10 Good

"Room was smaller than I expected. Staffs were very kind and helpful."
