Priceline Hotel: 3.5* St. Louis (Forest Park-Clayton) Sheraton Clayton Park

[AndVala]

I plan to bid on PRICELINE (through bb link) for St. Louis July 4th, 1 night, 2 rooms. I have bid downtown in the past and always got the Hyatt Arch for under $50 and really like the hotel and its location. However, I'm wondering if I should consider the Forest Park - Clayton area instead.

We plan to go to the Arch, the Children's Museum, the City Museum and maybe the Zoo so we'll kind of be all over the place.

2 specific questions.

1. Do most of the hotels in the Forest park area charge parking (downtown it was $19 a night which added significantly to my $40 room)

2. Anyone like the Forest Park area more than downtown?

Any input is appreciated!

My budget would be $60 per room for a 3 star or above. I'm not really that picky on which hotel as I've always been pleased wiht PRICELINE stays.

Not sure if all of the hotels in the Forest Park-Clayton area do charge for parking, but a check of the websites for a couple of these properties did reveal a parking charge. I've only been to STL a couple of times (it's been a while, certainly), but did think the Clayton area was nice. If you're looking for a change, you may want to give a different area a try. The Chesterfield area is really very nice, but will likely be too out of the way for what you're looking for. I'm guessing, however, that properties further out in those sorts of areas will likely have a better chance of free parking - a check of some of the further out properties does reveal properties w/free parking.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
