We wrapped up our informal wander through the fabulous Delmar Loop and drifted up here for a final drink, a skyline check and that signature rotating oversized Moon glowing over the building. By pure luck, it was a full moon over Saint Louis too which felt a little on the nose in the best possible way. The rooftop is solid, a clear arc of the city that makes you slow down to appreciate the view. The space itself is exactly what you want at the end of the night. Open, relaxed and elevated enough to feel like a finale without trying too hard. The music was much louder than I'd prefer and not an artist I'd ever queue up for a mellow nightcap and it did sort of get in the way of the vibe. The kitchen had already closed, which killed the idea of a final nibble with our round of drinks. The bartender did offer the workaround of having DoorDash delivered to the bar but we weren't going to hang around that long. The Old Fashioned he put together was excellent, balanced and smooth. Just what I needed as my Fitbit clocked over 10k steps. As a final stop on a Loop night, the Moonrise works beautifully. You get the view of downtown Saint Louis in the distance, the atmosphere, the giant Moon doing its thing and a comfortable landing spot before calling it a night.

I even got to watch my Royals (that's right STL, my ROYALS) win game 6 of the World Series in resounding fashion up on the rooftop here. Good times. A dozen or so years later, feeling nostalgic, and having struck out on some downtown STL hotels, I opted to come back here. Unlike my Royals, this place has still got it. Friendly staff upon check-in, and they let me know they don't have valet which I was honestly relieved about. When I'm traveling solo, I sort of just want access to my car, not to have to wait 15 minutes to go to the trouble of retrieving a phone charger out of my console. There is a little lot in the back that they'll check if you're a guest before allowing you in during busy periods. The room was nice, and the elevators are quick. The shower pressure is WAY better than I remember, at least it was on the third floor. The bed was insanely comfortable, and really, no complaints. The one issue was the little room couch was filthy in my room, with visible stains and grossness.. I just avoided it during my stay. The rest of the room was clean. No hotel gym that I noticed, but not far from Forest Park if you want to jog or walk (beware the insane STL drivers). I also took my takeout dinner to the rooftop which was nice, but not yet open for the season. I still appreciate them letting me up there for some fresh air and views. Lastly, the Delmar Loop has quite a bit! This area offers good coffee shops, a store, tons of quality restaurants, and all within walking distance. Nice place overall, and definitely in my consideration every time I come to STL.

There is a $10/night fee for self/ parking, which is a bit odd. There are spaces right outside the hotel or in lot just behind it. I will say that I was unaware of the fee for parking (I just happened to hear someone at the front desk telling a guest about it). I always check-in through the app, so I often don't come in contact with the front desk staff. Once I overheard that conversation, I called the front desk from my room and the parking fee was confirmed. I had to give them a description of my vehicle and I the state of registration. Makes me wonder if I would have been ticketed or towed if I didn't learn of the parking situation. There should be signs or a note in the app notifying guests about your parking. That is my only complaint. Rooms were fine, the free breakfast was standard for a Hampton Inn. Worth noting: there was no closet in my room. I found this to be very odd. There was a full length mirror bolted over what appeared to have once been a closet. Luckily I didn't need to hang any clothes, but that was really odd to me.

FIVE STARS go out to all the staff, who went out of their way to ensure we had the best visit possible. Special thanks to Malissa at the front desk who checked us in and always greeted us warmly with a smile and asked about our day; she was so friendly and made us feel so welcome! Thanks also to Josh Garrett, who answered our questions about the area; Jay, who took care of the laundry and made sure all the common areas were fresh and tidy; and all the ladies in the breakfast room! They started our morning out on a high note with the sunshine they carried with them. The breakfasts were always tasty and filling every morning, and we really appreciate breakfast on-site that was included in our stay! It was so convenient to have our first meal there before we ventured out into the city each day. Having hot items as well as the usual fruits, pastries, waffles and cereal was very nice. We also appreciated having the coffee and tea bar open 24 hours a day. The rooms are fairly well-insulated. We heard minimal noise in the hallways and none from outside the hotel, despite the proximity of I-64 (just one block away). The location of the Hampton is ideal for those visiting Forest Park and its environs. The Park is just 5 minutes away by car, and the Science Center is just down the street. St Louis Community College is across the street, so the area is generally quiet. There are restaurants and gas stations about a half-mile away, and grocery stores are 10 minutes away by car. Downtown is 10 -15 minutes away, depending on traffic. The few less-than-stellar items we encountered were the mattresses, which were somewhat lumpy; the bed and bath linens, which were somewhat worn; and our room wall thermostat, which seemed incapable of keeping a steady temperature. These would be fairly easy issues to address and bring the hotel's rating to a solid 5 stars for me. Overall, many thanks to the Hampton Inn at Forest Park for a lovely stay in Saint Louis!

It was my first time staying at a Drury Inn, and I was so excited bc people have mentioned how excellent their complimentary breakfast and happy hour were. What I encountered was another story, however. Breakfast consisted of powdered eggs, and happy hour has mushy, frozen veggies and a severe lack of quality. At $200 a NIGHT, it was a pricey experiment I won't be attempting again. It was kid friendly, however. Nachos every day with lackluster nacho cheese sauce and a hot dog station. Salad bar could've used more options for toppings. Boiled eggs served at breakfast could be diced for salads in the evening. Bacon at breakfast could be repurposed the same way as a topping for their baked potato night. Green onions are cheap and would've been a nice addition for the potato night.

The public spaces in the hotel accommodated all our needs smoothly whether it was a meeting, breakfast, motor coach access, or a banquet (the rooftop event space was spectacular). The proprietors were accessible and explained their choices in the remodeling without being defensive in any way. Our stay here was one of the highlights of an extended weekend in St. Louis. Would highly recommend. Although the hotel is downtown it is not in the most developed area, but the quality of the operation made everyone attending pleased to have stayed here as opposed to some more expensive cookie cutter options in busier parts of town.

St. Louis Union Station Hotel carries that weight beautifully, the architecture alone earns the visit, and the lobby is nothing short of stunning. Soaring ceilings, intricate stonework, warm lighting that seems to understand the space it's in. You don't just check in; you arrive somewhere. The rooms are generously sized, which is always a welcome surprise, though the interiors don't quite match the drama of the common areas. The TVs feel like they belong to a different era than the renovation budget, and the gym, while spacious, is similarly overdue for a refresh. These are quibbles more than complaints, but they're worth noting for travelers expecting every corner of the property to match the grandeur of that first impression. What carries the stay is location and atmosphere. Union Station puts you right in the heart of St. Louis with easy access to the city's highlights, and the historic bones of the building give the whole experience a character that soulless modern hotels simply can't manufacture.

Whether it is the quaintly appointed guest…read morerooms or the delightful library and parlor, each area of this former residence is unique and meticulously maintained. While it is not likely the norm, the owners, Mark & Leslie, met us at the front door, quite literally inviting us into their establishment. It was simply the most welcoming manner in which to be introduced to this treasure and Leslie quickly engaged us with the history of the home and how she and Mark had recently become the owners. We chose this destination based upon the significance of the Fleur-de-lis to my love, a native New Orleanian. Given St. Louis' rich French heritage, the mansion was originally outfitted with four chimneys that feature the fleur-de-lis design and the pattern is repeated throughout the home. While we enjoyed a quiet morning coffee in the back of the property, a lovely shaded patio area, she noticed how many places the symbol was present. She actually made mention to Mark & Leslie that they could make an activity out of counting/finding all of the fleur-de-lis around the home. What a fun idea! We were fortunate enough to book the Tower Grove Park room, a spacious room fitted with a king-size bed and a two-person jacuzzi tub. There is even a 'fainting couch' for that extra French touch! The bed was amazingly comfortable and the decor and accoutrements were exceptional, right down to the pocket doors and writing desk. But a B&B is set apart by the fare served in the morning, and this is where Mark, a chef by trade, and Leslie, a self-taught baker, knock it out of the park. That morning's menu included a fruit starter, fresh juice, Leslie's home-baked sourdough toast and home-baked English muffins, and Mark's egg and sausage soufflés with country potatoes. The entire breakfast had us completely over the moon! We felt so at home that we wanted to clear our own place - so we did! The rates are competitive and well worth every moment spent here. There is parking behind the property, as well as across from the property, and each guest is allowed a unique security code so as to gain entry while you are enjoying your stay. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this getaway, and Mark, Leslie, & assistant Sammy made us feel like family from the moment we crossed the threshold. We'll be back - and you should give Fleur-de-Lys a try!

If you're looking for a truly restful night's sleep, the mattress wasn't very comfortable. The rooms include a refrigerator but no microwave, although there is a microwave available in the lobby.

Options included scrambled and hard-boiled eggs, sausage, oatmeal, cereal, bagels for toasting, and a waffle-making station. The breakfast staff was especially kind and helpful. The pool is small, but the kids loved it, and you can even see the Arch from the pool area. The hotel is conveniently located within a short walk of the Arch and just steps from The Dome at America's Center. Horseshoe Casino is also within walking distance. It was quick and easy to get an Uber from the hotel to anywhere we wanted to go. Overall, it was a good stay. While it wasn't anything extraordinary, it met our needs and offered a convenient location for exploring Saint Louis.
