Top Washington University in St. Louis Hotel Reviews

Le Méridien St. Louis Clayton

8/10 Good

"The Meridian is clearly an upscale business hotel. The room is modern, comfortable and clean. The hotel is very well equipped with amenities. There's parking with fees but the location is not parking friendly"

Moonrise Hotel

8/10 Good

"Always enjoy my stay here. The shower was not made for heavy set people. I could barely get through the sliding glass door"

The Cheshire

8/10 Good

"It’s a unique (the rooms were named after authors 😊), and interesting hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was nice, and the breakfast was good. The only down side was the parking situation. We paid $10/day and many of the parking spots were filled by restaurant patrons (who parked for free). It was somewhat frustrating to drive around looking for a spot only to find out the only available spot was in lowest level of parking garage."

The Knight Center at Washington University

8/10 Good

"Very nice property. Great location. Easy parking. Rooms were pretty clean. The beds could use a refresh. The main issue was the temperature in the room was not comfortable at all. It was very hot. Neither the temperature nor the fan would adjust."

AC Hotel St. Louis Clayton

10/10 Excellent

"Good location"

Hampton Inn & Suites St. Louis at Forest Park

8/10 Good

"Great stay! Clean, safe hotel in a great location. Helpful staff and good breakfast! We'll stay again!!"

Forest Park Hotel by MDR

8/10 Good

"I was only there to sleep and did not use any of the amenities. The noise from the highway and the trains was louder than at most hotels I have stayed at."
