Top Washington University in St. Louis Hotel Reviews

Le Méridien St. Louis Clayton

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly room comfortable and convenient location. the only thing there’s a sewer smell coming from the bathroom that should get looked at."

The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza St. Louis

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful, and we really enjoyed the restaurants--The Tenderloin Room was especially delicious!"

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

8/10 Good

"Beds did not sleep well. Also disturbing noises above our heads at 4;30 in the morning"

AC Hotel St. Louis Clayton

8/10 Good

"Was great! I’d definitely come back!"

The Knight Center at Washington University

10/10 Excellent

"We will absolutely stay here again when traveling to Wash U. Great hotel!"

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

8/10 Good

"Even though most of the reviews were great, I was still skeptical because I've had a horrible experience at a highly rated hotel. I must say, the people were telling the truth! The staff was super nice, and the rooms were cleaned. I especially like being able to control the shower temperature digitally. The only downside is that the light in the room is super dim, not great for older eyes. Also, some of the furniture in the room could stand a good deep cleaning. I spray everything down like a mad woman, though. The breakfast buffet was good; however, it never changed in the 3 days I was there, and things like the hash browns and oatmeal were cold. The pool was warm, but could stand a cleaning. Overall, I would stay here again because it was within a 15-minute drive from all of my activities, and as I said, the staff was very nice."

Hampton Inn & Suites St. Louis at Forest Park

8/10 Good

"It was very nice. Only complaints are no jacuzzi and there wasn’t regular eggs (ex scrambled eggs) or anything like that. They had omelets both mornings. Other than that we loved it"

Forest Park Hotel by MDR

8/10 Good

"The staff was accommodating as much as possible. The rooms were decent for the price during the week but when the weekend came it doubled in price. The vending machines didn’t work properly. Overall it’s a place to stay and food is nearby in walking distance."
