chose this hotel for its location as I needed something downtown and the location was good but the property seems pretty rundown. I stayed in the east tower. The room was large but the furnishings looked old and worn out. The furniture looked like it was from the early 1990s. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom was small. You have to shut the bathroom door to use it and the shower curtain was too short and the water pressure was terrible. Toilet paper is hidden under the counter and hard to use. In the room, the light fixtures were loose; the luggage stand was broken and there were marks on the walls. The room was either too hot or too cold no matter how I adjusted the thermostat. No USB ports and the electrical outlets were so worn, my charger plugs just fell out. The lobby was nice and there is a Starbucks which is good because the restaurant was pretty bad. The service was good but the food wasn't. I did enjoy the pool and gym during my short stay. Bottom line is the place was okay but you can probably do better in downtown St. Louis for the price. I would not stay there again. It just seemed like a tired property where there isn't much money being spent on fixtures or furniture. The east tower rooms are in serious need of a refresh.
