Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch
Very clean room. I only wish the elevators matched the number of people using them, and having to wait a long time for elevators due to demand did slow us down a lot. It seemed several elevators were out of service, leaving only a very limited number available.

21C Museum Hotel St Louis
Loved the look of the building and where it was located but the one thing I didn't like was there was no stairs. Everyone had to use the elevator.
