A reliable go to

It's always my go to place to stay in St Louis, though it has changed over the years. I miss the classical music playing in the lobby area. Don't like that housekeeping & maintenance staff were constantly on phones or gathered talking (even cursing) just out in the open. It's lost a lot of the class & charm it used to have. Bar is always great, but was very confusing as to when it was open. There's a "speakeasy" style door, but there was no one there to let me know that so I thought it was closed. I wasn't familiar with that door, even though I've been there many times over the past 20 years. Breakfast is ok, but they've taken away real plates & cups, so it's all paper now. No recycling bin for water & OJ bottles. Bathroom in my room needed a cleaning. It had soap splashes on the mirror/mirror frame, and the door frame could use a paint job.

Wonderful free breakfast

The bed was comfortable, TV great, property is interesting with beautiful artwork everywhere. The bathroom had a tub/shower that looked like you could easily slip in it, wish they would update bathrooms. But the breakfast! THE BREAKFAST in this hotel is the best and free!!! Fresh fruit, cereal, oatmeal, pastries, scrambled eggs, ham, potatoes, four kinds of juice, coffee, tea, yogurt, waters, milk, simply the most extensive free breakfast you could find anywhere!

Pros: fun themed hotel with great decor and fabulous breakfest I would call "continental plus". Most of hotel stafg was friendly. Cons: the entrance and bathroom in our room were freezing, while rest of the room was okay. Common areas were also cold (lobby thermostat read 66) The air handler in our room was incredibly loud as mentioned by other reviews. Finally, while everything was clean, most of the place looks worse for the wear. For example, our bathroom mirror had decorative peices missing from it and big scuff and scratch marks all over door frame like it hadn't had a deep clean or fresh coat of paint in way too long. Overall, I felt it was a quaint idea that lacked value for price.

Look but don’t stay!

Stop by to see the rather glorious lobby that’s a recreation of an old English mansion. But the reality is more like one of those mansions that has fallen into disrepair as its current owners couldn’t keep it up. Rooms are worn and staff isn’t attentive. Front desk explained that the large dispenser labeled “Hot Water” was hot hours ago but not anymore. Shrug. Used a coupon for a free drink at the bar. Bartender charged me for two drinks and a nice tip and scraped a fake signature. Front desk said I might be lying. Rooms are spacious but work. Parking is a nightmare as hotel guests compete with restaurant customers at night.

This is a hotel with its own unique charm. It especially works if you like old world, antique style. However, the hotel is not well maintained and not cleaned well or often enough at all. The bed frame had a thick film of dust that you could see a handprint of another guest who touched it. The rug in the elevator needed vacuuming. There were moldy, dirty crevices in the shower. The hotel is like a grandma’s house with lots of old things around and that aren’t kept clean. This unique hotel would great if it had a major uplift to make it fresh and was deep cleaned as it should be. We were there for just two short nights, so it served its purpose. The listing said a 4 star, but it’s more of a 3-3.5. The staff was helpful,kind and welcoming. They were the best part of our stay. The breakfast that’s included had good options and that area was clean.
