Located right near the airport in St. Louis, Missouri this Hilton hotel was
quite nice. The room was nice and comfortable. The hotel had all the
standard stuff from a 3 star hotel, including a pool, on-site restaurants, room
service, etc.
There's
not really a whole lot to say about this place. Quite simply, it was a
very smooth stay. The only real complaint I have with it is that they
charge you $5 for parking. I understand that you're near the airport, but
if you're a hotel guest, you shouldn't have to pay for parking. They could
just include it in the room price.
The area surrounding the hotel was quite busy, but that doesn't mean that we
couldn't find anything to eat. There was a place called Bandana's BBQ
within a half mile of the hotel. That was good enough for me. (I'm
sure there were more places, but it was an extremely busy area, so I wasn't
driving around much.)
Overall, I was comfortable with my stay, and
even though there's a parking charge, I'd probably stay there again.
Nothing disappointed me here.
