This is definitely a unique hotel. The book/author themes is kind of cool, but overall it felt very outdated. The giant bear in the lounge area looks like it's been there for 100 years...missing fingers and toes...very dusty. Pool area could be really great if they had less metal tables and more loungers. Breakfast was a bonus.

We've been traveling for several days, and this hotel had the best atmosphere, the breakfast had the best selection of pastries, comfortable beds, fantastic staff (one even offered to drive us to a location where we could have "authentic" St. Louis barbeque, and the shampoo/conditioner/lotion/bath gel were so good I'm going to purchase some for home. We also loved how close it was to the zoo~ we walked there two days.

Bed and pillows where uncomfortable. Room and facilities were dirty. Parking was a joke due to there being 2 restaurants on the property as well so it was hard to find a spot as the hotel and restaurant shared the parking lot and garage but you had to pay to park if you stayed in the hotel.

I liked the concept and amenities of the Cheshire. People were very friendly. However our room and some areas of the hotel were not clean and well cared for. Our bathroom in particular was not clean. We saw staff sitting around on their cell phones a lot. The outdoor patio near the dining area needed attention also. Tables were dirty and needed a good hosing off.
