Top Washington University in St. Louis Hotel Reviews

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here multiple times when visiting my daughter in St Louis for a weekend. The staff is amazing! Nice area to walk around. Check out Shaw Park. Not as new as some hotels but the staff make up for that. And I forgot to mention the breakfast… AMAZING!"

The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza St. Louis

10/10 Excellent

"This place is wonderful! Absolutely stunning architecture, friendly and welcoming staff. We will absolutely be staying here any time we have the opportunity."

Homewood Suites by Hilton St Louis - Galleria

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but furniture was moved all over the place. All the couch and chair cushions were scattered about the room. The kitchen table was in the middle of the walk way, I had to move things for my terminally ill spouse to be able to get to the bed. We ended up having to stay another night and the rate for the second night was DOUBLE the price of the first night. Customer service was sorely lacking here compared to the other places we stayed during this trip. The pool was closed it was green. The indoor pool was a huge reason we picked this particular hotel."

"I loved the size of the room, very spacious and modern."
