10/10 Excellent

Very pleasant, super clean… Definitely recommend if you’re in the area. St Louise has a lot to offer, best part was Cahokia pyramids (wish they were renovated relating to past versions) and of course a teip to the top of Gateway Arch.

I travel all over the country and was quite impressed with the property... The lady at the front desk was nice, ample parking, restaurants in the area that are within walking distance and the room was probably one of the cleanest rooms I have ever come across staying at a hotel...

This a beautiful boutique hotel that was once a school. They have implemented the school theme perfectly throughout the facility. The staff was very courteous. The restaurant that is on-site has delicious food and great service. We enjoyed our stay here and will stay here again when in the area.
