St. Louis Airport Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Await!

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving deep into the St. Louis Airport Hotel – Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Await! It's not just a hotel; it's a… well, let's see if it's actually an experience. I’m gonna be brutally honest, like, spilling-my-coffee-on-the-table honest. Reviews are boring, so let’s make this… something.

First Impressions: The Accessibility & the "Almost" Perfect Moment (and the Loud Elevator)

Alright, so accessibility. Crucial. And the St. Louis Airport Hotel mostly gets it. Wheelchair accessibility is a big plus, and that's HUGE for me (personal anecdote: I’ve witnessed so many hotels fail miserably, leaving folks stranded. Not cool). There’s an elevator, which is a lifesaver with luggage (another anecdote: spent 20 minutes carrying bags at a "luxury" hotel once, because the elevator was "broken." I was furious). The hotel also offers facilities for disabled guests. (Accessibility Rating: 4.5/5 - Deducting half a point because every hotel should be perfection in this area, and no one is.)

But… the elevator. Oh, the elevator. Let's just say it had a personality. More specifically, it was a loud personality. Every trip up and down was an announcement to the entire floor – "Here I am! And I'm carrying… you!” It was a minor annoyance, but in the middle of the night was not my style.

The Room: A Sanctuary… Mostly

Okay, let's talk room. First off, let’s be real: free Wi-Fi in all rooms is a MUST. The St. Louis Airport Hotel, thankfully, delivers on that. And the room itself? Pretty darn good.

• The Good Stuff: Air conditioning (bless!), a comfy bed (extra long, which is a win for us giraffe-necked folks), blackout curtains for those precious sleep hours, and a mini-bar. (Side note: I always raid the mini-bar, don't @ me.) The included coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver for my morning caffeine fix. The in-room safe was nice, too.
• The Okay Stuff: Carpeting (it's a hotel, it's expected). The bathroom was clean, and the shower had decent water pressure. They also had included bathrobes which is awesome.
• The "Meh" Stuff: The view wasn't exactly mind-blowing. (It mostly looked like a roof, which is fine since it was late, but if I had a choice, I'd have asked for a pool view).
• The Minor Irritation: My in-room internet access didn't work at first. Thankfully, after calling reception, they fixed the issue very quickly and efficiently.

The Cleanliness Crusade: Sanitization & the Fear of Germs

Right, let's tackle the elephant in the room: cleanliness, especially with the current state of the world. The St. Louis Airport Hotel clearly takes it seriously. They tout "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," and stuff like "Staff trained in safety protocol." That's all music to my germaphobe ears. (Anecdote: I once brought a UV sanitizing wand to a hotel. I am NOT ashamed). Seeing "Individually-wrapped food options" also relieved my stress.

Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Eating My Way Through the Hotel

This is where it gets interesting. The St. Louis Airport Hotel offers a lot of options and that's something I'm always happy for.

• The Restaurant: There’s a restaurant with both Asian and International cuisines in it. So, there is also a buffet option on offer. A la carte in restaurant is available here as well. I opted for a soup and a salad, which were great.
• The Bar: They also offer a bar, happy hour, and a poolside bar. I opted out of the bar since I had an early start.
• Other Options: A coffee shop, snack bar, and room service (24-hour!!! Swoon). I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, room service is the absolute best thing about hotels.

(Side note: I always try the desserts. It's a scientific fact that hotel desserts are made with extra joy).

The Relaxation Station: Spa, Sauna, & Swimmin' Pool

This is where the "luxury" part comes in. And this is where I feel I can let loose.

• The Gym/Fitness: Okay, I admit, I didn't hit the gym. (Exercise is for people who like exercise). But the fact that they have a fitness center is a plus for all the gym-goers (and those who pretend to be gym-goers).
• The Pool with a View: Ooooh, a pool with a view. That's always a win. I imagined myself sipping on a cocktail, gazing out at all the sights. My actual experience involved a quick dip, but hey, a view is a view.
• The Sauna & Spa/Sauna: Oh yes, there is a sauna. I LOVE saunas. The fact that they have both a sauna and a spa/sauna is definitely a huge plus!
• The Spa: I went for a massage. The masseuse was amazing, and I left feeling like a new person (or at least a slightly less stressed one).

Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter

• Business Facilities: They have business facilities. All of that.
• The Extras: Laundry service, dry cleaning, a convenience store (for those late-night snack cravings), and currency exchange.
• The Overachievers: The "Cash withdrawal" service? That's just convenient.
• The "Wait A Sec…": They don't list pets allowed, so if you're traveling with a furry companion, be sure to check and ask.

For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun

They have kids facilities and babysitting which is great for families!

Getting Around: Airport Transfer & More

Airport transfer, car park (free of charge), car park (on-site), taxi service, and valet parking.

Cleanliness and safety - A deep dive

Okay, lets get to the real stuff. Hygiene certification?! Individually wrapped food options? Hot water linen and laundry washing?! These are fantastic!

Accessibility: It's good, but…

Okay, the accessibility is great. But a great, like, a lot of stuff. This is the sort of detail that I'm looking for!

Alright, here we go. Buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized TripAdvisor itinerary. This is real travel, Best Western style (plus!). Specifically, the one near the St. Louis airport. Let's see if I can survive and maybe, just maybe, enjoy myself.

Day 1: Arrival and Airport Shenanigans (AKA, the "Is This the Right Hotel?" Phase)

• 1:00 PM - Arrival at Lambert Airport (STL): Okay, so the flight was… a flight. You all know the drill. Cramped seats, questionable airplane food (I swear I saw a suspicious green blob in my wrap), and the thrilling experience of sharing air with a collective of recycled breath. But hey, we're here. St. Louis, here I come! Oh, and the best part of any flight? The relief of finally being on solid ground and the sheer joy of breathing fresh, non-recycled air!

• 1:30 PM - Shuttle Search, Hotel Dread: Found the shuttle! Thank god. After a harrowing baggage claim where I was absolutely convinced my checked bag was lost forever, I stumble out into the St. Louis heat - and it is HOT. The shuttle driver, bless his soul, actually smiled when I gave him the hotel name. Already a good sign. Hop on to my chariot of salvation and pray for a good experience.

• 2:00 PM - Check-in at the Best Western Plus… Thing: Okay, the lobby… it's exactly what you'd expect. Beige. A faint scent of chlorine. A friendly (and possibly over-eager) receptionist. Check-in was smooth (thank goodness), and I got my room key without a hitch. I think I might have seen something that was supposed to be an indoor pool and whirlpool - probably just as beige but hey, options!

• 2:30 PM - Room Assessment & The Bed Dilemma: Room… it's a room. Clean-ish. The air conditioning is thankfully blasting arctic air directly at the bed. The bed… well, let's just say it's a bed. Not a dream bed, more of a "functional" bed. The pillows, however, are tragic. They're flatter than a pancake that's been through a steamroller. I'm already plotting a pillow heist from housekeeping later.

• 3:00 PM - The Coffee Catastrophe & the "Oops, I forgot…" Moment: I NEED COFFEE. Desperately. The in-room coffee maker looks like it might have been built during the Eisenhower administration. I bravely attempt to brew a cup. It takes about 10 minutes, and the result tastes like slightly flavored dirt water. Fail. Then I realize… I forgot my toothbrush. Sigh. Already, the subtle signs of travel fatigue are making themselves known.

• 3:30 PM - First attempt at exploration (the food situation): Time to find some food. Since I don't want to drive anywhere (exhausted), I'm attempting the hotel restaurant(that looks like it could be a cafeteria, but let's stay positive). I decide I’ll take my chances.

• 4:00 PM - Food Disaster: A burger. That's all that's left on the menu that doesn't involve a deep-fryer. Fine. I order medium-rare. It came out…well, let's just say it had no business seeing a grill. It was gray, dry, and tasted like regret. I ate it, begrudgingly. I paid, even more begrudgingly.

• 5:00 PM - Pool and Recovery: Okay, after the meal I'm feeling a little… down. I'm going to head back to the room and attempt to use the pool, I need to shake this off.

• 5:30 PM - The Pool, a Study in Mild Disappointment (and Chlorine): Okay, the pool is as beige as everything else, but the water is at least clean. The indoor air smells heavily of chlorine, as if the hotel is attempting a preemptive chlorine-based coup. There's also one other guy in here, swimming laps. He's got the serious swimmer look. I give him a wide berth and attempt to make the most of it.

• 6:30 PM - The Great Pillow Heist (Almost): So, I'm back in my room, defeated. I need a decent pillow. I subtly open the door to the housekeeping cart, intending to "borrow" one. Just then, the cleaning lady appears. Busted. I stammer out some excuse about needing extra pillows (she probably sees this all the time). She gives me two. Miraculous.

• 7:00 PM - Dinner (Take Two): Order take-out from a local pizza place and hope for the best. Pizza generally isn't something you can screw up too badly, right?

• 8:00 PM - Zoning Out: Okay, pizza delivered. Food is good, pizza is good. This is the first good thing that's happened today. Put on Netflix, and attempt to doze off.

• 9:00 PM - The Night Shift: I'm out. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better.

Day 2: Gateway Arch Bliss, and Food Adventures (Or, the Quest for Edible Sustenance!)

• 8:00 AM - Wake-Up Call: The World's Okay-est Breakfast. Continental breakfast. Nothing terrible, nothing amazing. The coffee is better this time (maybe I have adjusted).

• 9:00 AM - Archbound! Time to see the Gateway Arch. The drive there is surprisingly easy.

• 9:30 AM - Arch Anxiety: Going up in the little tram thing… I'm not great with heights. The anxiety builds as we ascend. I can barely breathe.

• 10:30 AM - Arch Marvel: Okay, I'm up! The view is… breathtaking. Yes, I felt that way and I'm not going to let some minor discomfort ruin this.

• 11:30 AM - Museum Mayhem: The museum at the base of the arch is also really, really good. I spend far longer looking at all the exhibits. Then I leave.

• 1:00 PM - Lunch (and maybe a tiny bit of hope): Researching local places to eat. My pizza delivery adventure the day before has made me more cautious. I find a decent restaurant near the waterfront (I'm going to go there).

• 1:30 PM - Lunch Success! The restaurant is good. I'm enjoying myself.

• 3:30 PM - Return to the Hotel & the Looming Question: I'm tired, but I feel good from having eaten lunch. What's for dinner?

• 4:30 PM - The Shower Revelation: It's a solid shower; clean. I don't have any complaints.

• 5:30 PM - Dinner Panic. I decide to order something from a food delivery app.

• 7:00 PM - I hate to say it. The food got delivered. It's not the best. But it's something.

• 8:00 PM - Doze Off. Goodnight. Day 3: Goodbye, St. Louis (And, Thank God!)

• 8:00 AM - Final Breakfast & Airport Prep: Another buffet of slightly-better-than-mediocre breakfast foods. Packing up. Checking out. Remembering to leave a tip for housekeeping (they earned it this time).

• 8:30 AM - The Shuffle Again Checking for the shuttle. It arrives.

• 9:00 AM - The Airport Embrace: The airport is an odd comfort. Familiar. Easy.

• 11:00 AM - Goodbye! Flight's up. Leaving.

• 12:00 PM - End.

St. Louis Airport Hotel: Your Questions (and My Rants!) Answered

Okay, so... how good are these "unbeatable deals" everyone's raving about? Seriously, are we talking Motel 6 prices with a Four Seasons promise?

Okay, alright, let's be real. "Unbeatable" is… a loaded word. I've seen it on grocery store circulars, and let's just say the "deals" often involved slightly bruised bananas. With the St. Louis Airport Hotels, it honestly depends. Sometimes, you *do* score something ridiculously good. I'm talking, like, a surprisingly plush room, free airport shuttle, and a decent breakfast buffet for what you'd pay for a dodgy parking garage in the city. Other times? Well, you get what you pay for. Still, the deals are usually better than what you'd find downtown, especially if you're just needing a place to crash before or after a flight. Look, I needed a last-minute room after that *disaster* connecting flight where those crazy pigeons attacked my sandwich (seriously, the audacity!). Found a place *minutes* from the airport with a pool and a hot tub for a price that made my wallet breathe a sigh of relief. Now *that* was a deal! So, check multiple sites. Be flexible with dates. And pray to the travel gods. (They're out there, I swear!)

What about the luxury part? They're *claiming* luxury. Is it, like, gold-plated toilet seats or just the illusion of luxury?

Gold-plated toilet seats? Ha! That would be something. No. Not in my experience. Look, luxury is a spectrum, right? They’re *trying*. Maybe the lobby has a nicer chandelier than a budget motel. Perhaps the towels are slightly less scratchy. I did stay in one once where the bed *genuinely* felt like sleeping on a cloud. I actually messaged them the next day to ask what kind of mattress it was! But it’s more like… *aspirational* luxury. Think: a decent gym (mostly treadmills), a restaurant that tries to be fancy but doesn’t quite pull it off, and service that’s generally friendly, but not necessarily *flawless*. I had a room service experience once where the soup arrived with a hair in it, but the apology and replacement were quick and genuinely apologetic. So, good recovery! Bottom line: Manage your expectations. You’re not getting the Mandarin Oriental. You’re getting a well-appointed hotel convenient to the airport. And sometimes, that’s enough. My expectations are usually met, which is why I go back periodically.

Are the airport shuttles actually reliable? I’m terrified of missing my flight. Seriously, this is a phobia.

Ah, the airport shuttle anxiety. I get it. I *really* get it. I've missed flights because of *self-induced* delays (packing, the eternal struggle!) but mostly, the airport shuttle situation is pretty good. They generally run frequently, and they're used to dealing with bleary-eyed, stressed-out travelers. The main advice here: give yourself *plenty* of time. More time than you think you need. Always, *always* confirm the shuttle pick-up time with the front desk the night before. I mean, *always*. Even if you *think* you know. I had one instance where the shuttle was, shall we say, a *tad* late. I started to actually sweat. I called the hotel. They assured me it was on its way. I then asked another passenger to call as well, just to up the pressure. It eventually arrived, and I made my flight with about 5 minutes to spare. So, yes, trust the shuttles, but be a proactive, slightly paranoid, passenger. It's worth it for your sanity (and your flight!). Also, tip the driver generously if they get you there in time. They deserve it.

Okay, let's talk about the food. Is it edible? Are there better food options nearby? And for the love of all that is holy, do they at least have decent coffee?

The food situation... ah, yes. This is where things can get… *interesting*. Hotel restaurants are notoriously hit-or-miss, right? Sometimes you luck out with a hidden gem. Other times...well, let's just say I once ate a burger at a hotel restaurant that tasted disturbingly like sadness. Seriously, the burger seemed to be giving off a vibe of pure, existential despair. *And* the fries were cold. Don't expect Michelin-star quality. The most important element is getting food fast and quickly. *That's* the priority. If you’re just looking for a convenient meal after a late flight, the hotel restaurant is usually fine. They have the usual suspects: burgers, salads, that sort of thing. But if you have time (and a car), absolutely *venture out*. There are usually decent chain restaurants nearby. As for coffee… this is crucial. Most hotels have *decent* coffee. You can always find a Starbucks. (I'm not a coffee snob, but I do have my standards.) You can get to St. Louis, and then find a great option for Coffee in that city. So, prioritize the location.

Are the rooms actually clean? Seriously, I read reviews. I'm scared of bedbugs. Like, terrified.

Alright, let’s tackle the cleanliness issue. Bedbugs are a real fear, I get it. Nobody wants to leave a hotel with unwelcome souvenirs. Again, read reviews. *Thoroughly*. Look for recent comments about cleanliness. Hotels, for obvious reasons, don't advertise infestations. Overall, the rooms are *generally* clean. Of course, I'm not inspecting every nook and cranny (I'm more the throw-my-stuff-down-and-collapse-after-15-hours-of-travel type). But I've never had a horrifying experience. If you're extra squeamish (which, hey, no judgment!), you can always do a quick check: lift the mattress, inspect the sheets... That said, my experience with these hotels has mostly been positive when it comes to cleanliness. If you actually find bedbugs, I suppose the best advice is to scream, run to the front desk, and demand a new room (or, you know, a full refund and a hazmat suit).

What about the noise? I crave silence. Can I actually sleep?

Noise levels… can be a mixed bag. Airport hotels, by their nature, are busy places. You've got airplanes, the endless hum of the ventilation system. Then there’s the other guests. Drunk people roaming the halls, kids running around, screaming... you never know. But! Most hotels *try* to mitigate the noise. Thicker windows, better insulation...some even offer white noise machines (bless them!). I've had some gloriously quiet stays. And I’ve had some… not so glorious ones. One time, I swear, the couple next door was practicing interpretive dance with the bed frame until 3 a.m. It was a *long* night. If you are easily disturbed, pack earplugs and a sleep mask. Request a room away from the elevator and the ice machine. And brace yourself. Because, honestly, sometimes sleep just isn’t happening in an airport hotel.
