Element St. Louis Midtown
Breakfast was good and fresh but there needs to be a kids waffle or on cake option. Park situation needs better explanation when booking no good option outside of valet. Overall great experience.

Residence Inn by Marriott St Louis Downtown
Staff was great. The hotel could use work. One of the t.v.’s in the room didn’t work. Door stuck in bathroom. Pool area not stocked with towels and could be cleaner. Breakfast was good.

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station
Our room was nice and spacious, but there was a big chunk of stale, what appeared to be chocolate cake, in the floor in the middle of the room. The condition of the bathroom also wasn’t the best. We weren’t able to try the breakfast because the time coincided with the marathon.
