Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch
Nice hotel in a historic building. Excellent staff. Manager was working the breakfast buffet area and my mother in law said to him it was nice to see the suites helping out. He replied that there wasn’t a job there that he would ask any of his employees to do that he himself would not do.

Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch
Hotel is in a great location. The Arch is right around the corner and Busch Stadium was about 3 blocks away. Room was very spacious and the Brew House restaurant was a little pricey but very good.
