The Westin St. Louis

You Pay for Location

Fordele: Location to downtown sites. Spacious room - very clean. COOL FEATURE - for $5 Westin will supply you with workout shirt, shorts, shoes (if you forgot them or just don't want some stinkiness in your bag for the trip home). Restaurant staff was very friendly and had. O problem getting hot water for me for the provided in-room tea bags.

Ulemper: Food options were pricey - especially in-room. No hot tub (was really hoping for this esp after long days during biz trip and when cold out). Fitness Center has nice footprint and facilities but could be better equipped (more weight options - less cardio machines). They tried charging me for parking ($20) even though I arrived via Uber & told them I had no need for their parking services when I checked in the night before.

Fordele: there was a lot of hidden taxes and parking is $20 a night. Also you have to pay $13 a day for wifi. I would expect these fees to be included in the price, kind of disappointed but not a big deal. Just kind of annoying

Fordele: We loved thw beds! We just wanted to slunber. Loved the spa bathroom. LIked having a robe. Good food. Nice tv. Spacious room! We felt special. This was a staycation for me and my senior mom. She enjoyed herself immensely.

Ulemper: There was a high pitched humming noise, like from something mechanical, coming from outside the room. It wasn't too loud, but you could hear it. I don't know if it was the hotel itself, or noise from the street. We were on a higher floor as well.

Nice Hotel but not inclusive

Fordele: Nicely appointed rooms and great location to Busch Stadium.

Ulemper: There are too many extras that the customer has to pay for. The Internet was $12.00 per day and the cost for drinks and food in the hotels restaurant were not a good value at all. We found ourselves going to the Hilton, just a block away, for these amenities.

Good with a few buts...

Fordele: The Valet Staff was amazing. Polite, friendly and welcoming. Excellent first and last impression. Very Clean hotel The location of this property is ideal. We could walk to everything except the zoo and the brewery. Laclede's Landing was less than a 20 minutes walk. We went for a run in the city one morning that was gorgeous with the arch and sunrise as a backdrop and through some smaller parks on market street.

Ulemper: We drove down from Indiana. It was a 5 + hour drive. Not horrible but long enough. When we got there we had to wait 30 minutes for our room to be ready. It was 5 pm. WELL after the check in time. That was aggravating. We were supposed to have a tub in our room and we ended up in the handicap room, so not tub and the shower was set up for movement challenged individuals. Great that they are accessible for people that need it but we would have preferred the room we booked. The sink in the bathroom leaked and the soap shelf in the shower was pulling away from the wall.
