"The room was clean, the pool and fitness room were nice after long day on road. The breakfast was good, some hot protein options. The area had the things we needed and it kept us out of St. Louis proper. Probably won’t be your best la Quinta experience but we’ve learned when traveling through/near big cities need to bump up the budget a bit to have decent room in seemingly safe area. Little things like fitness room water dispenser empty and rubbery tater tots were disappointing but not huge...

Top Ellis Island Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a great place to stay for families. While the hotel itself is not the fanciest or best maintained, the rooms are spacious and very clean, the staff is so helpful and kind, and you can't beat the amenities!! My son and I went down to check out the signature free snack time, expecting popcorn and drinks, etc.. Turns out it was a full meal with baked potatoes, pulled pork sliders, salad, soup, nachos, etc.. It was all fresh and tasty and we did not need dinner that night. Between that and the free breakfast (also good quality) the Drury makes for great value and a lot of fun. Plus, there's a pretty decent sized pool and hot tub with a nice balcony right outside. Highly recommend!"

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great hotel located in a very neat part of town. It was clean and fit our needs perfectly."
