Top Ellis Island Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham St. Louis Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very comfortable. Staff super friendly. Shuttle service great. Would stay again. Very convent to airport."

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall I had a positive experience because of the event occuring duriong the time of my visit. The staff was friendly, helpful and professtional. I was grateful after a long travel trip to be greeted by kind staff - reception, valet, security. Each very different and very helpful. Breakfast was fine both dayss. The surrounding area is was not desirable. We felt safe because our stay was during the Beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen so there was alot of traffic, cars and people everywhere. The condition of the front desk, lobby and rooms are very good. Disappointing was the hallway, up near the rooms. Unfortunately, the location is the only thing that would kept me from rebooking."

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was good and plenty. The airport shuttle was great. My room was clean quiet and comfy. I had a great experience"

Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Airport

10/10 Excellent

""Unique" is a "close to Airport hotel with reasonable prices, great free breakfast and caring staff! STL does have close by car. rentals and hotels, but Drury's is right next to the rentals and across the street from STL. We had to extend our stay by a day, had booked via Expedia in advance, and Drury's booked us in the same room, next to our daughter's room, asking for no maid service even though it looks like a check-out/check-in process. They got all of that set up and smiled through it all. Drury is a great hotel. The breakfasts are very well arranged - love the waffles."

Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Will definitely book again through them. Great price for the time I stayed and close to everything"

Angad Arts Hotel St. Louis, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Excellent roof top bar!!!"

21C Museum Hotel St Louis

10/10 Excellent

"A bit off the beating path, but well worth the walk or ride there. Unfortunately I was only there for a day, so missed out on many of the amenities. But will definitely book here again and take advantage of all they have to offer. P.S. The room are well kept, roomy, and comfortable."
