Description: Hampton Inn Union Station is conveniently located on Market Street about one block down from Union Station. This location provides easy walking distance to the subway station at Union Station. You can literally pull in, park in the secured garage at Hampton Inn, walk to Union Station, buy a subway ticket, and you're off to see St. Louis. The hotel has an open, friendly lobby area adjoining a large breakfast area. Continental breakfast is provided free of charge.
Check-in for us was smooth and seamless and the front desk personnel were helpful in orienting us to where we needed to go. They were also helpful in assisting us in getting tickets to the baseball game, although upon further thought, we declined, especially since we were in town for only one night. Two computer terminals were available in the lobby area, although every time I passed through the lobby, unattended children were on the computers.
This hotel has recently been renovated so the rooms were small but very nicely furnished. Our room had a king size bed, entertainment center, refrigerator, desk, and sofa. The bed was very comfortable and afforded a good night's sleep.
We loved the location of this hotel to the Union Station and the subway station there. We also liked having secure parking. You could walk to downtown if you were so inclined, although it would be about twenty city blocks to get to the Arch. When we were there in mid August, we hit a streak of one hundred degrees plus weather, so we chose to take the subway.
The people in the area were friendly and helpful. Also included in this hotel is a full service restaurant. The restaurant is attached to the hotel, however, ownership and management of it is separate.
We also liked the close proximity of this hotel to the highway. Both upon arriving and upon leaving, we had easy access to the highway. The streets were not busy on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning when we were leaving.
The rates at this hotel were quite a bit lower than any other rates for a Friday night stay in mid August. If you are looking for a view of the Arch from your room, this is not the hotel for that. If you are looking for nice accommodations for a reasonable price and a location reasonably close to downtown, then this is your place.
I recommend this hotel to families and couples looking for the above qualities in a hotel in downtown St. Louis.
