Major Disappointment

We chose the Mayfair - highlighted as a Wyndham Historical Hotel, recently renovated and centrally located. Our visit was a major diasppointment - hotel is dark and in definite need of paint and a major cleaning. Hotel has great historical elements but do require refurbishing. Sign on the desk states that the hotel is independently managed - Wyndham should take a look!The rooms are small - we used the fitness center three days in a row and it was evident it was not cleaned the entire time. Had to call and request cups and clean towels.
Traditional w/ a touch of modern in the right places

The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and a perfect location for our purpose--seeing a concert and some of the downtown area. I loved the traditional exterior of the hotel and the fantastic staff, but also the updated rooms, although a bit small, they worked for a couple. The only negative was that we woke up to construction outside our window but we were to exhausted to let it keep us up. Overall, I would stay there again.

All in all charming older hotel. Staff very accomodating and friendly. Room service, food cold, dining room food good , a bit pricey for offerings compared to local competition. Rates were good on the room.
Mayfair Needs a Renovation

I picked the Mayfair because of a great (too good to be true) rate, and because on a previous trip to St. Louis, my wife and I, who were staying elsewhere, had cocktails in the Mayfair bar and found the hotel warm, welcoming and richly historic.
When I arrived, however, I saw the place through different eyes. The hotel definitely is showing its age, particularly at the reception desk.
My first room was terrible. As soon as I walked through the door, the first thing I saw was the back of a huge entertainment center which was facing the bed. This made the room seem like a broom closet. So claustrophobic.
I immediately asked for another room. The second choice led me down a corridor that was marked with deep scratches on the wallpaper on both sides of the hallway, like some college football players had just carelessly moved lots of heavy furniture. The room itself was musty smelling, dusty, and extremely hot. I tried to work the thermostat to cool it down, but it remained blazing hot.
The third room, the King Suite, was pretty good. The bed was great. The two flat screen TVs were nice, but the decor seemed like 80s Holiday Inn.
The staff were very nice and accommodating and seemed to know they were working against the hotel to please the customers.
I recommend the owners/operators spend some money to bring this historic hotel up to a level that does it justice.
I hope my next Wyndham stay, next week in Chicago, is better.
Continental - lacking on detail

Room nicely updated. Staff was friendly. Unfortunately, they left out the details - no valet parking or bellman. Had to park on the street, unload, check in, then drive down the street and park in an independent parking lot. In room coffee maker was not functioning and obviously had not for some time. Great continental, old world feel in the commons, but updated, modern rooms.
