If you’re going to see a Cardinals game, this is a super convenient location. But otherwise there’s hardly anywhere to walk to for dining. It’s quite a desolate downtown.

Would definitely stay again!

The historic features of the hotel were absolutely awesome, including the preserved bank vault doors. The service was excellent. We did find some hair on the bathroom floor that hadn’t been cleaned up from prior guests, but otherwise, the room seemed very clean. The street noise was loud at night, but the hotel itself was quiet. The beds were comfortable and clean, and check-in/out was a breeze.

Would definitely stay there again.

There was some confusion on contactless check in. I still needed to stop by the reception area. The AC wasn't working when we first got there, but I turned it off and back on it starting working and worked great the rest of the time.

Bummer Stay!

The people of the hotel were almost phenomenal. However, the hotel floor was gross (candy was under the bed, desk area, and the bathroom floor was also not very clean. The hotel also had no water or air conditioning for an extended period of time, and the credit that I was told would be placed onto my account was not. I am very disappointed in that. Spending $ 1,000 for three days suggests that one should expect water, air conditioning, and members to do what they say they will do. Lastly, as a Hilton Honors member who trusts a brand to do what they say, I am very disappointed.
