Staff could improve, the breakfast was the best! I would recommend.
Pros:

The breakfast was the best! Close to the zoo and other not that centric activities.

Cons:

Pool was out of service (even if it was supposed to be ready by our dates) Some of the staff gave us wrong information (a receptionist wanted us to park on the street even though the parking lot was attached to the hotel and had plenty of spaces.

Meh.
Pros:

Beautifully appointed interiors, clean.

Cons:

Nearby parking garage was difficult to get to and didn't feel safe, especially at night.
So much signage for leaving tips in tips boxes left randomly around the hotel. There were several 'only take what you can eat' signs at the breakfast bar. We had two staterooms and both had missing light bulbs in half the lamps. Even all our pillows had anti-theft devices attached. Our window view was a dumpster.
Seemed way too stingy for the price we paid.

Take the bad with the good.
Pros:

The location was very good. (We do an annual girls’ trip to attend a show at The Muny, then shop the next day.) The breakfast is also good, but the oatmeal is too watery.

Cons:

The listing said it had an indoor and outdoor pool. After we made a non-refundable reservation, the hotel notified us that the pools are closed for maintenance until September. Also, the rooms smelled like toilet bowl cleaner. The cleaning products are leaving a strong, unpleasant smell in the rooms.

Clean comfortable stay
Pros:

The property was nice and the rooms were updated. The shower was the best part because it was digital. You could set the temperature you wanted before you even climbed in. Breakfast was great.

Cons:

It wasn’t close to the location I needed for my son’s soccer tournament.

Great location to WashU, friendly and helpful staff, clean, excellent breakfast
Pros:

friendly and helpful staff, clean, excellent breakfast

Cons:

the hotel is an aging giant - it does need a facelift, but there is something about it that speaks to its former grandeur. This is not a criticism, just an observation.

Tired decor, poor staff attitude, good breakfast
Pros:

Location was convenient. Breakfast was way better than expected.

Cons:

Attitude of front desk was not good. Needed another person at desk from 4 to 5– long lines. My room “wasn’t ready” and I was told they had no idea when it would be ready. I was told I would get a call on my cell. After waiting an hour (no call), I asked again about my room and was told it was ready. Went to room and the toilet was running nonstop. Was told this is how all the toilets are (not true, since I had friends staying in the room next to mine.)

One bed was too soft and lumpy to be slept on( the other was ok. Next morning, hair dryer wouldn’t work. I did receive a replacement.

Unless you really want the free breakfast, I’d stay somewhere else!

All in all, I would stay here again.
Pros:

The breakfast was the best! The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were very kind.

Cons:

It seemed the lobby had seen better days. And I believe the receptionist was behind some type of clear protector and there were signs taped up about rules that seems tacky. Not the best first impression.

Cons:

I was disappointed that when I originally booked the hotel I was not informed that the pool closure was until May and than the 3 days later I get an email that it was closed until July. I choose this hotel specifically because of the pool for my kids. Also the toilet would not flush correctly.
