Top James Cool Papa Bell Memorial Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch

10/10 Excellent

"Husband and I stayed for 2 nights for a baseball game. The check in staff was so helpful and sweet. Everyone was very nice from check in to valet. The restaurants were very good and not crazy over priced. The property is in walking distance to everything. We had a great view of the city. Our bed was so comfy and room was clean and chic. I would stay here again."

Angad Arts Hotel St. Louis, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I was quite grateful for the embracing hospitality given by the staff. I found it to be exceptional service overall"

St. Louis Union Station Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The hotel was awesome, but it was very large and spread out. We had to walk a long way to get to our rooms. The staff was super helpful and friendly; however, the rooms were lacking. To start, the room fridge was not working and had to be swapped out. Then, when we decided to go to bed for the night, the sheets were dirty and didn't have a fitted sheet on the bed. Not to mention the little things, like ripped couch cushions and bad marks on the walls of the room. For such a nice place, we were disappointed with the rooms."

Hampton Inn St. Louis-Downtown (At the Gateway Arch)

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, close to everything especially the arch national park. Great view of arch and great pool!"

Tru By Hilton St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Poor Valet Parking Service The valet service was disappointing from the start. We stood there for approximately 15 minutes while the attendant fussed with her phone and water bottle before finally acknowledging us. When she did assist us, she seemed bothered by having to provide us with a valet ticket to park the car. When she asked for the make and model, I gave her the information, but she questioned whether we were sure and then proceeded to argue about it. At that point, I simply said, “Never mind,” and she finally handed us the ticket. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily difficult and unwelcoming."

Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Downtown/Convention Center

Live by Loews - St.Louis

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying at this brand. Loved this stay. In town for couple Cardinals games. Great walkable location, part of Ballpark Village, is right across street from ballpark. Super staff. Awesome indoor/outdoor bar/restaurant/lounge, plus a rooftop bar/lounge. Do have happy hr with reasonable drink prices. Hotel is newer, trendy vibe & decor. Hotel is quiet, heard no one in halls or room doors….don’t get the people who walk out their room and let door slam shut behind em. Doors are slow close which is nice. Bathrooms could use more hooks and maybe couple small shelves. Luggage carts are kept locked, need to ask for one. Def stay here again."
