The Cheshire

10/10 Excellent

"Just stayed one night with my husband but we want to come back. Good location, loved the British theme going, breakfast was excellent, fun exploring all the floors in the hotel as it has 4 floors. Did not visit the restaurants but I bet they were good and they gave us a coupon to user but we did not as we checked in late. Our room was quiet on the first floor. Good parking available. Staff were friendly and helpful during our whole stay. Loved the room author thing going on and labels on doors as it was fun to read, lots of good artwork, loved the author of your room having a book in the room like ours was Ann Sewell who wrote Black Beauty and we had a paper back copy of it in our room. If I was to ask for anything , it would be a small refrigerator as my husband travels with meds and a grab bar to step out of the tub. Would highly recommend."

MainStay Suites St. Louis - Galleria

8/10 Good

"The property REALLY needs to be cleaned up starting outside and then moving into the rooms if my room was any example. I understand there is new ownership so hopefully this helps move the ball in the right direction!"
