Nowhere to park avoid it at all costs

Hampton Inn in the Crossroads is my new favorite

I hate paying money on hotels... and the more expensive the room (for generally the same amenities as any other hotel), the more they nickel and dime you to death to the point where you're paying $20 for a watered down old fashioned and the next morning $25 for biscuits and gravy on top of that $300 room. I assume a lot of needlessly expensive hotels here are that way because they're used for business purposes and expensed, so they know business people don't give a shit what it costs.

I've long been a fan of Hampton Inn... beds are amazing, usually get a mini fridge, some have a gym and/or pool, and "free" breakfast that isn't just bagels..... and pretty midrange for price.

So, yeah... a hotel like that is kind of cheesy, but it's actually priced pretty reasonably (~$200-225/night) considering it has a spa and a small strange looking bar with an Egyptian theme and Chiefs SB Champs banner and jacuzzi tubs. I'd take the novelty of it over paying $15/night for internet at a Marriott shoutsatcloud.gif.

I'm a Hampton Inn and Drury Inn generally, but damn if you get a deal on a luxury hotel it's amazing. I got a hell of a deal one night at the Westin in downtown St. Louis. $100 for a suite. It was an awesome experience.

Rodeway Inn not far from the center of downtown

Damn, where do you find deals like that?

Another fan of the Hampton in the Crossroads. Its pretty much where I stay when I come in town

Honestly I don't love their parking situation and its mostly nostalgia of looking across Walnut street at this stage in life an reliving moving a couch down that fire escape and the life crushing stress I thought I was under at the time then fast forwarding to see how freaking quaint the area has become. People walking their pets, jogging, getting coffee, etc

Back to the OP though, the streetcar drops off/picks up right outside the front door and the area is very walkable...and I believe its also LGBQT friendly for you and your partner...j/k...have fun

It was a random Saturday night when nothing was going on in St. Louis. Think they were just trying to get some rooms filled.

Parking is biggest down fall at the Hampton there. Wish it had a garage.

Anyone with thoughts on the Crowne Plaza? Got some points I could use toward this joint...

If you like things with a little bit of history you might like Hotel President, Hotel Phillips or The Muehlebach.

Stayed at the Phillips a few years back. Felt like I paid for their lobby. And it is a beautiful lobby, but the room was pretty mediocre and dated.

When picking a hotel I have several criteria.

1. It must be 100% safe and clean. I normally like to be in an area that has 3-4 or more like hotels.

2. For business trips, it's location convenience first and extended stay hotels for longer trips.

3. I stay in either Marriott or Hilton chain hotels since I am in a member in both frequent stay programs.

4. I try to stay in a hotel with a decent bar and restaurants so if I don't feel like going out I have a place to grab food and drink.

5. I don't spend more than $250-$300 a night when I travel personally. If all the hell I am doing is sleeping, it's crazy to spend $500 a night. Hotel prices have become ridiculous and I have no desire to pay $5000 for a week in a fancy hotel.

Some of the boutique hotels like Aloft, Indigo and Tempo have good prices.

I stayed at the Phillips in KC based on CPs recommendation and liked it. I also stayed at the Sheraton Crown Center and that was very nice. I had a high floor and great view.

[Reply]

My buddy took a chick to the Loews hotel. Banged her right next to the windows in their hotel room. She was a trailer trash chick, so she impressed as hell with that hotel.
