Top Downtown St. Louis Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Downtown/Convention Center

8/10 Good

"It was a great hotel with lovely service, clean rooms, good water pressure, extremely hot water available, soft towels, and helpful staff. The only problems I had were that the parking garage was a block over from the hotel so anytime we wanted to go anywhere, we had to walk to the next street over. It wasn’t a big deal but a slight inconvenience especially if you’re in a rush. There is a place to eat downstairs that has things like muffins, coffee, and real meals BUT it’s only open from 5pm-10pm? Just inconvenient times. Other than those things, it was great."

Hotel Saint Louis, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel is nice, but I booked it specifically for the rooftop, heated, year-round pool. I had confirmed our two rooms the morning of our check-in, and the hotel staff didn't tell me that they had closed the pool. I learned of it upon check-in. We were traveling with two 12-year-old boys and were very disappointed. We didn't use the other amenities and would have stayed somewhere less expensive had we known about the pool, which is advertised front and center on the first page of their ad. Hotel St. Louis was very expensive for our needs, but would be fine for someone who wanted to use the fitness center, restaurant, room service, etc. I have asked for some sort of reimbursement but don't expect the hotel to come through with that."

Le Meridien St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice on the inside. My room was clean and the staff were nice and helpful. I did receive a room that was missing the cover to the door lock. The light in the room was really dark. I did ask for a late check out, however on check out day I returned to my room to pick up my stuff and the door was pried open and no one was in sight. Nothing was missing and The hotel was almost empty so I wasn’t really worried but that was unsettling. The front desk informed me that I had been checked out."
