Hampton Inn St. Louis - Downtown

Hampton Inn St. Louis - Downtown

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.

Hampton Inn at Union Station

Hampton Inn at Union Station

The Hampton Inn at Union Station was amazing. The lobby was huge and there were computers with free Internet connection as well as printing available. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area as well. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were very nice as well. They were a decent size, not to small not too big, and so were the bathrooms. In the rooms there is a mini fridge and a coffee maker as well as a desk and a very soft armchair with footstool. One wall is a huge window. Depending on which side of the hotel you are on you get a very nice view. I was in the back so I got a view of the back streets of St. Louis. Although, if you walk to the end of the hallway there is a huge glass window which gives you a magnificent view of the arch. The parking lot is gated and covered so that I felt safe parking my car there.

In the morning there is a complementary breakfast, which is very good. They serve everything from fresh fruit and yogurt to pastries and cereal. It lasts for several hours so if you are a bit of a late riser then there should still be something there. The other great part about the hotel is that is just a few blocks away from Union Station.

The best part about the hotel is the beds. They are so soft that I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I can honestly say that this was one of the best nights sleeps that I have ever had.

The only downside of the hotel is that the pool is locked. You have to get someone from the front desk to call a lifeguard. Then the lifeguard sits and watches you while you are in the water. The lifeguard is kind of creepy. He sat there the whole time with a security guard and talked about hot girls in the hotel that they wanted to screw or have screwed. Being a 24 year-old female I was a little freaked out, especially when I got out of the water and could feel their eyes on me.
Other than that I would say that the goods definitely out weight the bad.
