AC Hotel St. Louis Clayton
The staff were very helpful while there! I recommend doing valet instead of self parking so you wouldn’t have to go through any hassle with finding a parking space but overall my stay was great. The bed was really comfy. I would definitely stay there again when visiting St Louis.
