Front desk staff at check in was great! She knew I pulled around back to park & that I was using a crutch, & she was considerate enough to meet me back there with a luggage cart. She was really super nice!

We enjoyed our stay. Our room comfortable and clean. A litt disappointed in the restaurant and bar being closed early. However snacks were available by check in desk and fresh to make coffee's. Hungout in lobby area since it was raining to wait on the shuttle. Also enjoyed the use of swimming pool and hot tub. Everyone was nice and friendly.

Fine hotel…skip the breakfast
The woman working at the front desk upon check in was friendly and helpful. We were attending an event at BJC, and the hotel was conveniently located to the venue. It was startling when the fire alarm went off at one point. We evacuated the building, but nobody came around and told us it was safe to go back in. Nobody told us what was going on. It was honestly a little unsettling. There was not breakfast included, but we paid extra for the breakfast buffet. It was NOT worth the price at all. I have was way better free hotel breakfasts, and this was pricier than the delicious breakfast we enjoyed the next day the The Waffle House. Overall, the hotel was clean and convenient, and the staff was great. We would stay again.
