Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark
Clean room and clean hotel in general! The StarBucks coffee shop connected to hotel is very convenient! Bars at hotel are very cool as well. Staff was pretty solid. Bar tender was a little different vibe but coulda been just an off night for him. Great stay overall.
