In a town where the local labor pool has little desire to work, I know that I can rely on the staff at this hotel to come through. Front Desk Agents are always smiling - big plus! I can rely on V, Juli and Rana to be ready with their smiles whenever I walk through the lobby. Sarah is always helpful, too. Breakfast is always a delight as Kayla, the hardest working server, is on it with her politeness and courteous way of taking the care of the Guest. Her colleague Nia is always smiling, too. I'm at the tail end of a 6-week work trip and am really enjoying the hotel. I like seeing the Housekeeping team always keeping that lobby looking good. I usually avoid them coming into my room, but a on long stay I'll remove the DND sign about once a week. I come back and the room is fresh and clean - love it. The neighborhood may not be the greatest - especially after dark - but if you plan your day correctly, and as daylight savings has happened you can figure out the few eateries around here. The hotel is a revitalized bank with historic significance for St. Louis. Walk around the lobby and appreciate the details in the ceiling and around the vault doors. Around the corner is the Gateway Arch - a view that never gets old! Every other morning I'll grab my Starbucks from across the street, sit in the park and enjoy the view. The Mississippi River is just behind. The museum down below is free and tells an excellent story of St. Louis and it's significance in America. You'll see numerous well preserved artifacts from the old days - really cool! Note that there a few specific rooms that have stunning views of the Arch and others of the Eads bridge - the first steel bridge - the Martin Luther King Jr. bridge, the mighty Mississippi and Illinois all together. At night and all lit up is truly an amazing view. I like room 727. Management has done a very nice job running a good hotel. This is a good choice for holding your corporate events and local sports centers.
