Top World Chess Hall of Fame Hotel Reviews

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has a great temperature control system for showering, and double-size showering stalls. Rooms are quiet and have a good HVAC system."

Moonrise Hotel

8/10 Good

"Loved the hotel. The only downside was the street noise from midnight-3 am even on the 7th floor. Nothing the hotel could have done as there were a bunch of people on the street."

Aloft by Marriott St. Louis Cortex

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Stay! I will be booking at this hotel again:)"

Hampton Inn & Suites St. Louis at Forest Park

10/10 Excellent

"Celiac Foodie Traveler: The hotel was fabulous, the staff- so friendly & helpful. The room had a king size bed, a couch, refrigerator, small coffee brewer, ice bucket w/ cups. Huge snack pantry for purchase with a variety of items. The room provided breakfast in the main lobby. Celiacs have the choice of Hard Boiled Egg, Fruit and Cheerios. The warm food items are all baked in a huge oven so cross contamination is eminent. The chef did say they have a separate toaster in the kitchen for Gluten Free items provided by the guest to toast. As for the room, incredibly clean, stocked and even had a small Swan Towel in the bathroom. The bed was super comfortable, fluffy pillows and was clean. 5 Star for the STAY & Quality 2 STARS for the Celiac Food Options- (Hotel Mgmt- add prepackaged GF items) Overall, highly recommended the hotel, but for my Celiacs- not recommended for breakfast meal but a quick bite of fruit and java! Happy Travels!!"
