Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station
Our room was nice and spacious, but there was a big chunk of stale, what appeared to be chocolate cake, in the floor in the middle of the room. The condition of the bathroom also wasn’t the best. We weren’t able to try the breakfast because the time coincided with the marathon.
