Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch
This is a perfect location for visiting the Gateway Arch, a block away, and only a few blocks from the Metrolink. The included beer/wine light dinner menu in the evening means you don’t have to go out at night after a long day of sightseeing.

Live by Loews - St.Louis
Very clean. Slightly loud but that's just the environment next to stadium but not enough that it caused issues. Loved the hotel and location.
