Had a pretty good stay definitely was a bit noisy The bathrooms could’ve been a little bit cleaner and taken care of toilet seat was loose when you went to sit on it . When the room was booked said breakfast fee went down to breakfast. They sat us told us where the food was and then gave us the bill (after we ate)for the price almost 50$for a breakfast buffet that was nowhere near worth it.

This is a standard hotel once inside the room. It was clean, but a heavy draft was felt coming through the window. Overall, a nice hotel in downtown.

Nice stay

The room was nice and clean. The bar service was not great and the beer on tap was flat and not good. Luckily there were plenty of other places for good beer.

Hotel was in need of a refresh. Carpet was worn, ice makers didn’t work, pillows were dead and bed was lumpy. The room was very dated with an industrial type toilet. Also the food in the restaurant was not of the best quality ( a member of our party became I’ll after eating the breakfast buffet). Overall it did not meet our expectations for a Renaissance Property.

The hotel was great. I wish I knew the name of the check in lady. She was terrific. Happy with her job and it showed . Not the hotels fault , but downtown StLouis is depressing and awful. Felt odd being there. Really didn’t feel safe walking around.
