"FIrst off, call before you book! To: 1) Confirm all three of their elevators are actually working. During the trip, one was out of order the entire time. The second one, intermittenly down. The wait was consistently 15-20min. 2) Ask if they have ongoing events. The Masons event went into the weekend, followed by another that they failed to mention when we asked. The staff, depending on who you interacted with, was night and day. Either curt with you - the fromt desk - or actually kind and hospitable - very few people. The positive things, well, they were dwarfed by the disappointment. The last morning, we called at 7:30am and asked for a later checkout. Response: You can do 12pm. Then she abruptly ended the call. At 11am, a knock at the door saying it was checkout time. 11:30am, same thing. 11:45, another knock. Not soon after, a phone call from the front desk - the same rude staff member - stating "checkout was at 11am, you should have left already." When we tried to explain we talked to her earlier this morning, she said "there's no record of that here, so it wasn't approved." Then, another abrupt end to the call. Look elsewhere if you're hoping for a great experience. "

"Great place to stay for St Louis sports! "

"Very cute boutique hotel. Parking around the area was inconvenient but understandable in downtown. Valet is available as well as a parking garage on the next block. The restaurant is cute and the food was good but very limited selection. "

"The day I arrived I clearly showed I rented 2 separate rooms. Manager couldnt hlep me fix issue. I called hotel.com to fix problem. The agent kept calling front desk and they wouldnt answer. I tried to put the manager on the phone from my cell but manager denied. And told the agent to call the front desk. But hell they wouldnt answer it. I went to sit in the car till the agent finally spoke to them. Took 1 1/2 to resolve. Room had a big hole in the bed skirt. The bathroom shower knob pulls off. Shower handle didnt work. They came to clean room took all the towels and didnt replace. Worst experience I have ever had. Next time ill go down the road and pay them $788.00."

"Staff was great! Breakfast and free appetizers are wonderful- we love staying at Embassy anywhere "
