"Charming and quaint alternative to a Holiday Inn. It was renovated 10-15 years ago but not much care since then. The pool was allegedly open still (mid September) but when we looked out to go use it, there was debris in it and it wasn’t very inviting. The price was affordable and it was pet friendly, I only wish we could have experienced it during its heyday years ago when it was properly maintained and cleaned."

"I love the shower!! The bed is super comfortable. The view out the huge full wall windows is of Busch stadium! Downside was we were on the 3rd floor right above the red line metro and you could hear the trains. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to St. Louis."

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis Union Station

8/10 Good
"The staff was stellar, answered questions before I thought of them, knew the area and were efficient, housekeeping staff offered help and suggestions and were a highlight but front desk staff was great too. The parking garage was adequate, but parking before you checked in wasn't great (they offered a few 15 minute stalls and most folks clogged up the entrance area after that, so a bit cramped), but the garage itself wasn't bad. Room was clean, was were the public areas. Overall a nice stay!."
