A Wonderful Stay at Benton Park Inn…read more My wife and I recently spent a night at Benton Park Inn and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The inn is located directly across from a beautiful park, making for a charming and relaxing setting. It was easy to find and conveniently located near the freeway, yet far enough away to be peaceful and quiet. We stayed in the Virginia Minor Room, which was spacious, exceptionally clean, and very quiet. It provided a comfortable retreat and made for a great night's sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. It was absolutely terrific and clearly prepared with care. We also enjoyed getting to know Dan, the proprietor, whose warm hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. And of course, meeting Rosie, the inn's friendly dog, was an added bonus. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-maintained bed and breakfast with a great location, excellent food, and genuinely welcoming hosts, I highly recommend Benton Park Inn. We would gladly stay there again. Highly recommended!

Gothic Heights Inn is completely deserving of the description of "a hidden gem." Tucked away on a…read morequiet street in Clifton Heights, the former church has been turned into a tranquil island in a very easily accessible area of St. Louis. Because we couldn't get away for any length of time, I was looking for a unique place where I could surprise my husband with a mini-vacation for our 13th anniversary. Gothic Heights Inn was beyond perfect. Once we entered the building, it felt as if we had been transported to a remote location outside of our own city. The shared spaces are indescribably beautiful and peaceful with a full kitchen, secluded sitting areas, and even a piano. The original woodwork has been preserved throughout the bed and breakfast, and the impact is stunning. We stayed in the Riverfront Suite, which was perfectly decorated and felt like an oasis of privacy. And even though the temperature was below freezing, we completely enjoyed the rooftop hot tub and the gorgeous view of the city after dark. Needless to say, my husband was completely surprised that such a special place was hidden so close to us, and also needless to say, we are already talking about our next staycation escape to this little paradise.

This was myself and my husbands first time ever using Airbnb and we didn't know what to expect but…read morewere also pretty excited about it. Jenn was very nice from the start and communicated easily when I had questions prior to our stay. Finding her place was very easy and she also let us know exactly where to park. Jenn met us outside the apartment once we got there and she then took us in to give us the tour. The apartment is beautiful and filled with lots of awesome artwork! The kitchen was great and had everything that you need. We planned on making dinner and had no issues with anything. All of the cookware and dinnerware was provided. That was nice. The wooden spiral staircase was so cool because it was the original wood. She warned us to be careful of the narrow steps and that was great advice. The bedroom was beautiful as well with a full bathroom and back deck. Now, the bed was absolutely amazing! Had one of the best sleeps ever! There was also a little reading nook in the corner with some St. Louis reading material that I took advantage of. Very nice touch! Unfortunately there were some things that we weren't happy with. This night was very special to my husband and I and we did our research when it came to booking a room for the night. After finally making a decision we decided on Dwell because of what we read online in Jenn's description of her place, the amenities that were offered and the awesome reviews. We had two very important things that we were looking for. One, we had to have a fireplace and two, we wanted a prepared breakfast. Both of these things were mentioned on her website and in the amenities list on Airbnb. The fireplace did not work and it was super disappointing. I feel that if you don't have a working fireplace, you need to remove it from the list of available options or at least reach out to your guests to let them know. The breakfast was also a major disappointment. We read such wonderful reviews on how great the prepared breakfast was and what we got was yogurt and bagels. Nice, but not what we were expecting. Again, this was something that was mentioned on the website. I read through every single review on Airbnb so we couldn't wait to take a shower with that amazing rainfall shower head. Well, if you don't mind showering in front of a window at night with no window covering then you're good to go. Yes, people lived across the alley so it wasn't like no one could see you. We on the other hand need a bit more privacy. Just to make sure, I stood in front of the window while my husband went outside and he without a doubt could see me. Very, very disappointing. Needless to say, our experience was not five stars like everyone else's and we wanted it to be so badly. Especially when paying the money that we did.

Her husband Andy, also so lovely, has great stories and made me want to sit and talk to him for days!! :) This place is a gem and MUST VISIT destination. The house is pristine and decorated so beautifully. The hard wood floors are immaculate and the bedrooms are super inviting and cozy. The house is a wonderful place to stay but then you go to breakfast and you are transported to culinary heaven. Chef Sandy is brilliant. Her food is perfection. She makes different dishes each day of your stay based on your preferences she obtains when you book your trip. The food is always fresh, mostly from their own garden. I can't even describe how amazing our whole experience was. The house is located very near many townships but it is so quiet and peaceful tucked away on a nice plot of acreage. The yard is massive and landscaped so beautifully. The minute you arrive, everything is just perfect down to every detail. I recommend booking early and request the bedroom with en suite bathroom. The king size bed is so comfortable and the linens / towels are 5 star hotel quality! The house has a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the yard with shade cover. I could go on and on but really this was the best hospitality we have ever experienced. 10 out of 10 definitely would recommend!!!
