Nice stay
The room was nice and clean. The bar service was not great and the beer on tap was flat and not good. Luckily there were plenty of other places for good beer.

Hotel was in need of a refresh. Carpet was worn, ice makers didn’t work, pillows were dead and bed was lumpy. The room was very dated with an industrial type toilet. Also the food in the restaurant was not of the best quality ( a member of our party became I’ll after eating the breakfast buffet). Overall it did not meet our expectations for a Renaissance Property.

The hotel was great. I wish I knew the name of the check in lady. She was terrific. Happy with her job and it showed . Not the hotels fault , but downtown StLouis is depressing and awful. Felt odd being there. Really didn’t feel safe walking around.
