This is an older property needing renovations. It's a decent value for the money. I've stayed here before multiple times and will again.

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station
This was a wonderful hotel to stay at while we explored the National Parks. We enjoyed the free evening snacks and drinks after a full day at Gateway Arch. Staff were very friendly. The pool was nice. Rooms very clean. Would definitely stop here again.

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay
Room was nice. Bathroom was great in the suite we had. I think the best part was the breakfast. Made to order omelets and waffles. We stayed here to see Zack Bryan in concert. It was a drive to the Americas Dome but we liked this hotel. We will be staying here anytime we come to St. Louis.
