Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station
Air conditioning not working but management was prompt and very professional and quick to move us to another room. Second room air didn’t work initially and the carpet was stained and unclean. However the staff was amazing and super helpful. The staff is only reason we stayed.
