I assumed with the location that this hotel would live up to high standards. The lobby was nice, but the further back you walked, the more disappointing everything became. The rest of the property was dingy, outdated, had a terrible musty odor and was overall unsettling. Our rooms were in a back building that was covered in construction. The overall feeling throughout the entire property felt like the abandoned set of a soap opera. The service at the restaurant bar was appalling and we left after waiting at the bar for quite awhile and being ignored by the staff who clearly saw us. The pool, however, was lovely and large and felt luxurious - definitely the best part of the hotel. We travel to St. Louis several times a year but definitely will not be returning to this establishment.
