I really love the Cheshire. This is my go-to hotel whenever I'm in the St. Louis area. I love the themed rooms and the themed decorating and architecture. The hotel has the amenities I want. The room was clean and well-appointed. I will add that there's no mini-fridge in the room, but I didn't need one on this trip. The staff at the front desk are friendly and professional. I recall seeing some of the same personnel that were there at my last visit earlier this year. So nice to see a familiar face behind the counter. I'll be going back!

The Cheshire hotel invited you into a lodge. Warm and welcoming. Expect to be as comfortable as visiting a great friend- delicious breakfast, hearty and healthy; games in the living room; books in the library. Scavenger hunts for young and old ! And the dinner, down into a cave of culinary art!
Bedrooms named after composers. A bookmark with composers name and a book authored by composer. Reading nook comfy .
Lobby with warmth including comfy chairs and games to play.
Descend into dining cave for dinner.
