Stayed at hotel while visiting my son at WashU. Super convenient location. It’s very clean and well kept. The room was modern and the beds very comfortable. Parking garage was across the street and free on the weekends
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. I also enjoyed their selection of personal hygiene products available as amenities.
Great stay!!! Rooms were clean. Also so great there were a few rooms to do work.
One thing to note if you come in late- it IS the bldg that says Charles Knight- there is a small sign that gives a number to call for after hours. We were definitely wandering since it was our first time staying and it does not give the “hotel’ feel.
Anyway so glad we stayed and look forward to coming again.
This was the perfect place for my long weekend in St Louis seeing concerts in the Delmar Loop. The campus and neighboring area was beautiful, the hotel was clean, the price was fair, and there was convenient parking (paid on weekdays). I would stay here again if I’m ever back in St Louis
This was a great place to stay when attending a conference on campus! The room was lovely, check-in was easy, and I really liked the bar downstairs. They had excellent food at a reasonable price.
