Top Columbus Square Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing during the breakfast very interactive with the guest. The rooms were very clean. The amenities were absolutely 100%. We had an emergency in our family during our stay and the staff was amazing and worked with us to get back home to our family that says a lot to me. I will definitely be booking again next year for our holy convocation."

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"This property is at Union Station and very near downtown. This means it is close to lots of eating venues. It was safe, clean, and the complimentary breakfast nice, and the evening hot food was even nicer. I will definitely try to book this location in the future."

Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed the convenience of where the hotel was. It was very easy to get to my destination. The breakfast was very good. Very outstanding service was excellent. Really enjoyed my stay. I do plan on visiting the Hyatt next November. Looking forward to it."

Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean for the most part but is obviously old. The shower caulking and flooring had cracks and signs of how dated it is. The rooms were comfortable and the heated pool was nice. The dry sauna worked but is need of serious repair both with the controller and the room itself. The breakfast had plenty of options, though the plastic cutlery made eating some of it difficult."
