When I got in my room I noticed a brown spot on my bed. No big deal. I asked the girl working the desk if the could change it while I went out to eat. She was super nice. When I got back I noticed she had not only changed it but left me several snack

"New, go-to hotel to stay at every time we are driving through the St. Louis area!"

10.0

SUCH a darling, boutique hotel!! As a designer, I was smitten with the old-school (literally!) decor of the hotel. Clean, new, fresh and staff was I credibly nice and helpful. The restaurant next door was delish too!

Nothing!

This was one of the best hotels Iโ€™ve ever stayed at. The shower was incredible, everything was nice and clean. My only complaint is that it can be a bit of a winding walk to get to rooms but I wonโ€™t ding them anything for that because itโ€™s good to reuse old buildings (in this case a school). Would recommend this to anyone.

This was just a unique place. A school turned hotel with the decor absolutely fitting. We were looking for something different not far from home and this nailed it!

The hotel was clean and inviting right as we walked in. The room was spacious and clean. The shower was soothing. The staff was friendly and helpful with ideas on things to do in the area. There were plenty of eating options close by. Loved our stay and will return when we are in this area again.

The school theme is fun, and the fact that it was a school and has that history is really interesting. I will stay here again.
