Top Downtown West Hotel Reviews

21C Museum Hotel St Louis

10/10 Excellent

"N/A It was exactly what I needed! Thank you!"

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our room with the marble bathroom. Comfortable bed, very clean. All the staff was very helpful. People like Terrance and Shirley that kept the breakfast and kick back dining area clean (and their co-workers, sorry I didn't get all their names). Loved the outside deck on the 8th floor. Parking was $40/night and you could go in and out as much as you needed, very easy. I would recommend going to the 3rd or 4th level if you have a larger vehicle. We will definitely stay here again next time through the area."
