I went to St Louis this past weekend and part of this week. I didn't have free internet otherwise I would have posted this a lot sooner. And for a hotel not to have free wifi is very stupid on their part. This day and age its what people look for. I watched a ton of HGTV while I was waiting on Charlie to get done with work. I did a lot of walking around too. Downtown St Louis was nice, being by myself I didn't feel unsafe. It does however have an odor that I was really getting sick of by the time I left. Its like a garbage order. You know when your garbage can starts to get a smell if you haven't taken the trash out in awhile? Not a major rotten smell, but just when its about to get the rotten smell. Anyway that's the only way I can describe it. It was everywhere though; downtown and even midtown. Mississippi maybe? No idea but you cant get away from it.
We stayed at the Crown Plaza downtown on 4th St and I am going to advise you to stay somewhere else. The lobby is pretty but the rooms are much to be desired. They haven't been updated in about 20 years. If hotels didn't put so much money in their lobbies, maybe they would have enough money to fix up the rooms. Its definitely the way a lot of hotels roll though. Make the lobby beautiful, you think it's great so you get a room only to find out that the rooms suck!
Housekeepers are another story. I know its hard work, my mom does it for private homes. But you cant tell me that they cant see the soda spilled all over the outside of the door that I just stuck my hand in; or the spatter of god knows what on the wall. Our light switch in the bathroom was so dirty it would need replaced. How much does it cost to change that out? $2 tops. It's the little things that make a huge difference.
Crown Plaza we will never stay there again but your rooftop pool had great views.
