Our room was very nice. The staff were always willing to be helpful. Breakfast was amazing! With the added perk of Starbucks in a cosy, quaint coffeeshop as part of the Cheshire. Our stay was perfect.

No hot water in the room but I'm no wimp. It's a fascinating place to stay while you're in St. Louis. Very conveniently located and the bar is my kind of spot.

The hotel staff was very accommodating and the restaurants and pub on aite are amazing. Note for parents the windows in the rooms do open amd we had a small scare with iur toddler, but Diane was very accommodating and made sure we gat a room that was better for our family (no furniture within reach of the windows) and our stay was amazing.

The breakfast was made fresh every day. It is simple but tasty, there’s fruit available at all times you can grab for free. The staff is the friendliest on earth, the room was nice and clean, the hotel itself has a lot of character, each room is named after an English author and they place a book of your author in the room. Location was good, about 15 minutes away from the Arch and all the activities we went to. This city is worth exploring and I will be coming back to stay here in the Cheshire again! Oh. And it’s great to know the place is pet friendly.
