Every thing was fine but I accidentally booked a king room instead of two queens for move in day and rather than provide us with a cot, they made us rent a completely different room for $400. The guy working told me it happens every year so I felt a bit fleeced.

This place was awesome. It was uniquely located on the university campus, which was beautiful. It provided great amenities, and I liked the convenience of the bar/restaurant. It was also SO close to public transit- it was maybe a 5 minute walk to the metro station. The room was comfortable, modern, and super clean. Staff was lovely.

This clean, comfortably appointed property is conveniently located on the campus of Washington University. Forest Park is within walking distance. It's part of a small conference center so groups of people are usually to be found meeting and talking in the various public areas and breakout rooms. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Complimentary water, ice, coffee and tea are available around the clock. Parking is in a Wash U garage directly across from the center. You have to pay (credit card) every time you leave the garage, which is a bit annoying, but the cost is modest and free on weekends. The Bear pub onsite is a nice place for a drink when open. We did not try the food there.
