Cons:

Figure out a way to make parkking easier and free with the room or paid as part of hotel bill. The parking garage is a bit of a drag.

Perfect for who wants to stay on campus
Pros:

The hotel is perfect if you need to stay on campus or near WashU. You are basically over the business school and it makes things so much easier if you want to be around that area. The room was big and comfortable and both beds were great. The private bathroom was very clean and big as well.

Cons:

Personally I found it a bit overpriced, as we only stayed for 3 nights. The breakfast is disappointing; it is not included in the price, and if you want it there is an additional 11$/person, which we did not like. Again, for the price of the room they could have included breakfast.

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.
