"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 National Great Rivers Museum Hotel Reviews

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff."

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."

Wingate by Wyndham St. Louis Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Out of several hotels that I’ve stayed at in the area this is the best out of all of them"

Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I did not like that I could not get a printed receipt. I don't like being told to go look on a website. I was told that they would e-mail it to me, but I have not received it. Other than that, the stay was excellent."

"The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly and we did not feel unsafe. What more can you ask for. Was it perfect? No it had some flaws but overall it was a good stay and would stay there again. (This is the 2nd time)."

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms, friendly helpful staff, nice complimentary breakfast and nighttime security make this hotel an incredible value. The location is great too. The beds and pillows are not comfortable but they were very clean. This is not really an issue if traveling for business. I recommend this property."
