"Hotel is great condition. Room clean and modern. Excellent customer service from Dan.. No other staff actually spoke to me. Just the hallway smells like smoke. And I attempted to purchase breakfast from the crepes place but decided not to. The cook wiped his nose and didn’t attempt to wash hands before placing on gloves.."

Element by Marriott St. Louis Midtown

8/10 Good

"Staff was great. The outdoor patio was amazing. We didn’t make it to the rooftop bar. Our room was spacious and overall great. The bathroom had hair in the shower and paint peeling on the ceiling. We were looking forward to renting a movie to watch but it kept reading an Error when selecting it. Love the kitchen in the room makes life a lot easier. Breakfast was just ok but did the job. My daughter has a terrible cough and the front desk gave my kiddo a bottle of water and cough drops. Was much appreciated. I would definitely stay again but would bring my own pillows."
