Interesting location as it is on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. The campus is beautiful and the building is also very well designed and nice. This would be a great location to host a conference or wedding. Truly nice venue. Close to Forest Park too.

Convenient

Knight Center is a wonderful place to stay if doing things at WU. Easy to use metro and/or Uber/Lyft, so you don't have to rent a car to get around the WU/UCity/Clayton area. Competitively priced with alternatives in Clayton.

I had no idea there was a hotel on the Wash. U. campus. The rooms rival some of the better hotels I have stayed in. The staff was courteous and friendly. The pricing was also reasonable and the location is right in the heart of the city. I will definitely will be staying there on future visits to my former home town.
