DoubleTree by Hilton St. Louis Airport

My room location was not ideal. It was above the entrance atrium and very noisy. I would have requested a different room but I was too tired

Hotel is well-run, clean and affordable. A small bar and restaurant in basement was convenient and had a good open layout. I thought the food was good, hearty midwestern style, with fresh salad and thoroughly cooked veggies. No problem there. There is an outdoor pool, but I was there in winter, so pool not open. Slightly odd building layout means that there is one elevator for floors LL (Lower Level) to 4, and about 20 yards away, another elevator from floors LL to 5. Not a big problem, just a little odd. Anyway, the room was tidy and comfortable, looked like a recent retrofit with spacious and modern plumbing fixtures, and everything worked. The area is very close to the airport, with mixed industrial & commercial neighbors, but not close enough to be affected by air traffic noise. Next door is a failed former hotel/motel property, neither abandoned nor currently under construction, so like many areas of St. Louis, this district has seen gradual economic decline, but is surviving. I did not see any signs of crime or abandoned property in the area, so my assessment of safety was about average. Staff was friendly, effective and helpful to me during my 2-day stay. There are some conference rooms (all in the basement) and a small workout room. The convenience factor for me was largely due to close proximity to the STL airport.

We got snowed in making it a very long day. They got us in early and the beds were extremely comfy.
