Great place to stay right next to Gateway Arch National Park. Walkable to other downtown points of interest as well. The happy hour drinks and dinner was a great bonus. Would stay again.

The beds are incredibly uncomfortable unless being comfortable means sleeping on plywood for you. Pillows are not great either.
