Hotels Near Jack Gettemeyer Park in St. Louis

Bed was hard & there was no free wifi, only for hotel members. Otherwise, it was beautiful & clean.

When we first arrived the counter attendant did not have our reservations. I had to call Trip to get it straightened up. It was finally done but it took an extra 30 minutes.

I needed to stay near WashU and was without a car - without much research I found this hotel which appears to be the only one near the university and also near restaurants. (I may be wrong). I spent two nights. First, the hotel has a quirky moon theme. Fine. It mainly consists of a couple of glass display cases near the lobby with a moon related collection of tchatchkes. Beyond that there is a mild ”mid century” feel and a big moon on top of the hotel located at the rooftop bar. Pros: location at Delmar loop and near university Cons: This is an old hotel with very superficial ”improvements”. Feels like a 1980 hotel covered up. Lots of ”dings” around from being bumped and used. The chair and other furniture in the room had stains and were worn. The hallway smelled. The price was steep for the quality of the place Went to the rooftop bar and was met by surly bouncer. Weird. The front desk staff were okay but seemed unprofessional/too relaxed I had 3 suitcases and no one offered to help me to the elevator etc The BED was completely terrible. Had to be very old. Sunken in the middle, totally soft. had to be low quality such as few springs as the whole thing bounced all over when touched. I hardly slept for two nights. If not for this awful bed I likely would not have bothered writing a review as the rest was all forgettable. I'll be going back to St Louis and I'll figure out something else next time.

The location was great if you are attending an event at the soccer stadium, Union Station or the Enterprise Center. Easy to walk to all those locations. This property was easy to get to off the freeway and has on-site parking ($10/day). Hotel has been updated and was very nice. Beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. No free breakfast in the morning, but you can purchase food and coffee there. I would stay there again when going to downtown St. Louis.

This hotel is located inside of on older building. It appears that they tried to keep the exterior facade of the building and build a hotel inside of it. The elevators are a little rickety and don't always give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Our room overlooked a garbage filled alley way. There was NO place to park. I was told upon checking in that the valet lot was full so I have to find a place to park on the street. I am surprised that all of my tires and glass on the car were still there the next morning. When we got up for breakfast there weren't any small cups to use to get the right amount of batter in the waffle maker so people were using paper coffee cups and overflowing the waffle makers. The juice machine had 2 of the 4 types of juices out of order. The other types you had to press the button to dispense so hard it almost tilted the machine backwards. And after all that the juice would come out just a little, stop, then a little more, stop, a little more etc so it took a long time to fill up your glass. The packets of syrup for waffles were EXTREMELY hard to open to the point you almost needed to use some scissors. I definitely will not stay at this property again. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Two of the main things I looked for when booking was a pool and free parking. The pool was indoors which was fine. Was surprised to see how small it was and was a big let down that it was so freezing we couldn’t enjoy it at all. So it was a let down that one of the main reasons I booked here we didn’t get to use the pool. This place does have newer furniture in its rooms but the floor throughout and the furniture it the lobby is just stained up and dingy. The signs on 1st floor for ice machine/vending are wrong. Asked a rude house keeper that was upset bc I guess I interrupted her cleaning. She had told me it was around the corner…. The out of order machine was on the other side of the building. I finally found me an ice machine on next floor. The people at the front desk are very nice and courteous. Really nice. But wish they had explained more on their parking so that I didn’t end up with a ticket each day I was there. So they have no free parking lots at the moment. You either have to park in their drop off zone are a section of street parking on the side. The other lots available you have to pay per day. Due to this I found a spot on the side (side street parking as they suggested) and I didn’t move my car. I kept it there the entire time and walked everywhere I needed to go. Well when I went to leave I had parking tickets racked up for several days. I went in and asked them if that was there parking as told previously and they said yes. I told them about the tickets and they said it was managed by the city and u have to back in or get a ticket. That would be nice to know when you offer that as a parking suggestion. I go out to lot to see if there was a sign. There was a sign many spots down that in the direction I was coming from wouldn’t have seen. I also looked all almost every vehicle was parked wrong way so obviously they weren’t told or didn’t see sign either. I started warning those I could. $30 a day ticket city it making a lot of money of that small parking section from out of towners etc that don’t know ST Louis parking laws …. The hotel won’t warn u of this and they know. Besides these couple things everything else was good.

If this hotel is representative of what Marriott is doing with Westin's, the Westin brand is deteriorating. Plastic cups in the rooms like a Best Western. Quattro restaurant is poor; asked for glasses for wine and one glass was very dirty. Quattro delivered our dinner to the wrong room; when we got the dinner it was not what we ordered. Thermostat in room was 'dead'; if not fixed management would make us move everything to a different room at 8:30 pm. Maintenance found that when the filters were changed the thermostat was not turned on! And the guest had to discover the thermostat was not working. Westin still has comfortable beds. Fortunately the valet and front desk people were good--although the staffing is very thin until 7am when the nightshift ends! Do not recommend and will avoid Westins in the future.

Let's start with the good. The rooms are amazingly comfortable. Mind you, it helps that I reserved a Stadium View king and was upgrade to an Executive Studio Suite. Extremely comfortable, very clean, and wonderfully furnished. It is exactly what I would expect from this level of hotel. It is also perfectly located if you're attending a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium. You walk out the front door, walk across Clark Ave which is shut down for games, and you are at the stadium. It is the reason I choose this hotel as I was attending a game. It is also basically in Ballpark Village. And now, the frustrating parts. Parking is horrible. First off, there is nothing on the website that I can find that tells you where to self-park or off what street to enter. I had the misfortune of trying to figure it out in between a double-header, where streets are blocked off and crazy people are running amuck in cars as well as running across the streets. I finally called the hotel and a kind gentleman talked me down to where I needed to be. By the way, the second level elevator, the only elevator that takes you near (not to) the hotel, the down button to call the elevator doesn't function. You have to hit the up button to have the elevator to arrive, then go up so you can do down to ground level. The elevator dumps you outside and you then walk past valet parking to get to the front door. Check in starts at 4:00pm and I arrive at 4:10pm. There is only one person at the desk, and she is dealing with a difficult customer. She was actually providing great customer service, but it was taking a lot of time and the line behind me was building. During this time, multiple employees walked by and behind the desk but offered no help or even made eye contact. Finally, after about 15 minutes, someone showed up to help. One thing to note, to use the elevator to go to your floor (mine was the 8th floor) you have to scan your room key card for it to allow you to push the floor button. That was not mentioned to me when I checked in and I could not figure out why I could not get to the 8th floor until a nice couple told me. Funny thing is, about 20 minutes later I got to tell another couple the same thing as no one told them either. You would think that should be automatic when checking someone in. Finally, the next morning I wanted to leave early, by 7 at the latest, so decided to do room service. They claim 24-hour room service available. However, you cannot order breakfast to be delivered to your room until 7 at the earliest. Prior to that, you can only order ”late Night Snacks”, which consists of things like Doritos. I just gave up, checked out, and had breakfast elsewhere on the road. There were other things as well. Overall, not a horrible experience. Just too many frustrating points which should not be the case for the cost of a night stays

Double charge you on your credit card and don’t release your funds right away. Poor customer service. No Refrigerator or microwave in the room. No social distancing in the hotel. Only thing they did have was good food.

It rained on the day we went, the rain stopped and there was a rainbow near the arch. It can be seen in the hotel room. The accommodation is good and the service is also very good. There are restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and side doors within 200 meters. Arches and the old court, you can take the subway in ten minutes, it is the subway, don't follow the Google map on the road lost ~ strongly recommend the sushi love on the main road, there is a 20-knife buffet, very good and delicious, right, Please bring your own slippers and toothbrush toothpaste. Many foreign hotels do not provide ~
