Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay
The room was really clean and modern. Only issue was the knocking 3 times in the morning before check out. It’s bad enough you’re paying for a room from 4pm-11am but I don’t need someone knocking on my door an hour before check out.

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch
Best hotel stay ever! The kickback meals are delicious and saved our family so much money! Adults get 3 free alcoholic beverages per night. There is a soda fountain at breakfast and the kickback. The pool was huge! My kids loved the 2 hot tubs!

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station
Breakfast was good. Morning staff great. Our second time staying first time was great. This time our room had a lot of stains in the carpet and the bathtub was kind of gross. The elevators were full of crumbs and food and that people checking Us in what kind of rude
