The hotel was so beautiful! The walls were a little disappointing, but that’s a part of its old charm. It’s not going to be perfect, but I love the view from the pool. I wish I had more time to stay. they were so sweet. It was my boyfriend‘s birthday and they said happy birthday. They also got him something from the convenience store, which is really nice. They were. The staff was really really helpful and kind.
This hotel is located inside of on older building. It appears that they tried to keep the exterior facade of the building and build a hotel inside of it. The elevators are a little rickety and don't always give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Our room overlooked a garbage filled alley way. There was NO place to park. I was told upon checking in that the valet lot was full so I have to find a place to park on the street. I am surprised that all of my tires and glass on the car were still there the next morning. When we got up for breakfast there weren't any small cups to use to get the right amount of batter in the waffle maker so people were using paper coffee cups and overflowing the waffle makers. The juice machine had 2 of the 4 types of juices out of order. The other types you had to press the button to dispense so hard it almost tilted the machine backwards. And after all that the juice would come out just a little, stop, then a little more, stop, a little more etc so it took a long time to fill up your glass. The packets of syrup for waffles were EXTREMELY hard to open to the point you almost needed to use some scissors. I definitely will not stay at this property again. If I could give it zero stars I would.
This was my first stay in St. Louis. I was not familiar with the location. This location was an easy walk to all the locations downtown. Many eateries were also nearby the hotel. And the Gateway Arch was also an easy walk. My view was of the Central Library. My room was comfortable and clean. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The morning breakfast was enough for me. There was some construction going on. And it looked like they were still updating the floors. Only two of the three elevators were working when I was there.
If this hotel is representative of what Marriott is doing with Westin's, the Westin brand is deteriorating. Plastic cups in the rooms like a Best Western. Quattro restaurant is poor; asked for glasses for wine and one glass was very dirty. Quattro delivered our dinner to the wrong room; when we got the dinner it was not what we ordered. Thermostat in room was 'dead'; if not fixed management would make us move everything to a different room at 8:30 pm. Maintenance found that when the filters were changed the thermostat was not turned on! And the guest had to discover the thermostat was not working. Westin still has comfortable beds. Fortunately the valet and front desk people were good--although the staffing is very thin until 7am when the nightshift ends! Do not recommend and will avoid Westins in the future.
Unfortunately, due to a horrific experience at this hotel on Friday, March 10, but worse yet, how they handled it, more like, didn't handle it at all, it overshadowed any positive feedback I would have liked to have provided for this hotel. My husband and I have received zero communications/acknowledgment/not an ounce of compassion from ANYONE associated with this hotel, which all stems from an absolutely terrible experience - being stuck in this hotel's small elevator for over 80 minutes, late at night with anxiety ridden people and some VERY unfortunate circumstances including bladders filling up! We were told from someone over the speaker that we would be out in 10 minutes when their elevator company arrives, which turned into 30 minutes with no one showing up nor any updates. Not because of the hotel staff, but because of my friends/family insisting, 911 was finally called and the fire department was dispatched. Saturday morning we asked to speak with management and were told that management wasn't there on the weekends. We checked out on Sunday, and asked that a manager call us on Monday. Nothing. 7 days later, and there has been ZERO communication from this property's management. We didn’t even receive an apology nor receive any acknowledgement about our experience from the desk clerks that weekend. Nothing. Unbelievable and inexcusable. I'm disgusted, disappointed, now angry and disturbed by the silence, disregard and lack of compassion from this establishment.
All my reviews use the same format, so it isn't just a general review, but breaks out each area and then a total score. Any questions, please let me know. This was a couples stay while attending the CITY SC match. ARRIVAL: My wife and I decided to give this property a go since it was close to CITY Park. Normally would Uber to and from our house but wanted to make a long day out of it. Hotel is easy to get to and the parking garage is located on the south side of the hotel adjacent to the CITY training pitch. CHECK-IN: Check-in was fairly quick. We did use points which made it a little confusing for some reason. The front desk staff seemed kind of annoyed until we decided to break the ice and share some back-and-forth banter with her. We received our room assignment proceeded to drop our bags to begin our afternoon of per-match fun. PROPERTY: A newer FBM property the layout aligns with the brand. Bar and common area for breakfast as well as a outdoor patio area with fire pits, and couches and chairs. Property seemed clean and secure with no way to get inside without a key. ROOM/ACCOMODATIONS: Our room was acceptable. FBM standard King. It was clean and nothing seemed out of place. A newer property there were no complaints. Mini fridge to house drinks, etc and a nice view towards Union Station looking over the training pitch for CITY SC. STAFF/SERVICE: Knowing that staff is a struggle in hospitality, the front desk was a little unwelcoming. We really didn’t interact with anyone outside of them but the bartender after the match really was NOT having a good night. Many loud patrons after a win by the boys in red across the street. Many patrons really doing their best to be as loud as possible. She was not happy and asked on repeat for them to keep it down or they would have to leave. FOOD:/BAR: Drinks were ok. Not amazing but on par with the brand. Breakfast was your average quick serve buffet with a host of items to pick from. We had a light meal and then departed. SUMMARY:. This property has a great location for those wanting a place to stay for CITY matches. Right across from the South End and with a safe parking facility we would try this one again. Rate without points would have been $129 which is a few dollars less than other higher start properties nearby. To compare, Union Station (Hilton) was $138. If we were paying, I would have opted for that property. Scoring: CHECK-IN: 7/10 PROPERTY: 8.0 ROOM: 8.0 STAFF/SERVICE: 6.0/10 FOOD/BAR: 6.0/10 OVERALL WEIGHTED: 7.10
LLori KayMy trip was OK until I got ready to check out. My vehicle has been sitting in front of the hotel lobby in everybody’s way for six hours. I left my keys with the valet service to go park my vehicle. No one knew where my car keys were at my vehicle had been moved over to the side. The staff was just avoiding me in the situation saying they would call me back and then they wouldn’t. It was time to check out I didn’t want to have to pay for another night I was supposed to be at work I missed work. Finally the front desk called me they had found my keys they did not tell me where. They took the parking charge off of my bill and that was it. I really thought they should wave they charge for my entire stay I missed a days work almost lost my job and went through countless hours of stress because that’s the only set of keys I had. I’m not so sure someone didn’t take my jeep somewhere all night and bring it back early in the morning. I don’t see how I could’ve sat in that spot all night long in everyone’s way without someone getting a hold of me. There is a half a tank a gas gone and I’m not sure about the mileage. I think I deserve a refund for my stay personally

ผผู้เข้าพักTwo of the main things I looked for when booking was a pool and free parking. The pool was indoors which was fine. Was surprised to see how small it was and was a big let down that it was so freezing we couldn’t enjoy it at all. So it was a let down that one of the main reasons I booked here we didn’t get to use the pool. This place does have newer furniture in its rooms but the floor throughout and the furniture it the lobby is just stained up and dingy. The signs on 1st floor for ice machine/vending are wrong. Asked a rude house keeper that was upset bc I guess I interrupted her cleaning. She had told me it was around the corner…. The out of order machine was on the other side of the building. I finally found me an ice machine on next floor. The people at the front desk are very nice and courteous. Really nice. But wish they had explained more on their parking so that I didn’t end up with a ticket each day I was there. So they have no free parking lots at the moment. You either have to park in their drop off zone are a section of street parking on the side. The other lots available you have to pay per day. Due to this I found a spot on the side (side street parking as they suggested) and I didn’t move my car. I kept it there the entire time and walked everywhere I needed to go. Well when I went to leave I had parking tickets racked up for several days. I went in and asked them if that was there parking as told previously and they said yes. I told them about the tickets and they said it was managed by the city and u have to back in or get a ticket. That would be nice to know when you offer that as a parking suggestion. I go out to lot to see if there was a sign. There was a sign many spots down that in the direction I was coming from wouldn’t have seen. I also looked all almost every vehicle was parked wrong way so obviously they weren’t told or didn’t see sign either. I started warning those I could. $30 a day ticket city it making a lot of money of that small parking section from out of towners etc that don’t know ST Louis parking laws …. The hotel won’t warn u of this and they know. Besides these couple things everything else was good.
