Pros:

The bed is comfortable with a range of pillows to choose from, some firm and some soft. Desk and chair were comfortable and supportive for long work sessions, and the breakout rooms on each floor are great workspaces too.

Cons:

Elevator is slow, and the eggs at breakfast could be better.

Everything we needed!
Pros:

It was great to be on the beautiful Wash U campus. We got to maximize our time with our daughter during our brief visit. I appreciated the extra touches like the availability of coffee, tea, and boxed water in the “pantry” and of laundry facilities. Staff are great!

Cons:

The facilities are nice but do not feel luxurious.

Pros:

The rooms are wonderful..because it is basically a conference center , the food service for guests is lacking. The bar serves a continental breakfast for 2 hours, and has no dinner service on weekends, thus no food available at all on the weekends. There is no coffee in the rooms but rather this pantry on each floor, where you need to go to get coffee. I’m not sure why they have this set up, but it didn’t work for me to have to go down 2 halls to get my morning coffee.
