Like more of the average starred hotels I took with a grain of salt when walking in, it had a modern but pleasing look. Checking in was a little confusing but staff was very helpful. Then when getting in the room it was tad bit smaller than expected, Although beds were comfortable and didnt mind the a/c noise as long as it worked. Plenty of towels were provided I would say I would comeback if I were planning to go to St.louis again

The staff at this hotel are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is stunning, with a unique and captivating design. They have a 24/7 snack bar that offers a wide variety of delicious snacks. The waffles with fruit, Nutella, and powdered sugar were absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this hotel to my friends and family, and I’m already planning to return for another stay.
