I tried to update my KS thread yesterday, but my computer didn't want to display that thread for some weird reason. Today after rebooting I was able to update it.

I did peruse the first 2 pages of St Louis reports. I found nothing reported on 2 or 3 stars down town, or 3.5 in Forest Park.

The 4* might be the Hyat Regency SL Riverfront?

The 3.5* might be the Crown Plaza Downtown?

What do you think?

Please see the above link to see if you find any matches for the properties above. If there is a match you're interested in we can try to confirm what you believe you're seeing OR try to ID any hotels you were unable to match.

However, are all of thise listed really possiblities?? For instance, under what circumstances would the 2* be a serious consideration, given it's much lower rating and the price is so similar to the higher rated hotels?? (if it's the breakfast you could easily achieve that with the similarly priced and much higher rated 3* hotel)

The above link IS the one I perused. I guess I am confused by what this board is. I though someone had a spreadsheet or some other more better organized information than just simply going through, individually, all of the posts from the last couple of years.

Yes, I am seriously considering the 2 star. All of these that I listed are under serious consideration, or I would not have requested more information about them. The star levels don't matter to me; those correspond only amenities, not cleanliness or suitability of the hotel for my purpose. I've stayed in clean, neat, great 2 star hotels, and horrible 4 star ones. Check the tripadvisor reviews for the Crown Plaza hotel for one example of a poor "high star" hotel.

As I stated in my OP, my first criterion is closeness to Union Station and/or the MetroLine, since we are trying to get around for a couple of days sightseeing without a car. If you can't or won't help me guess, just let me know.

I ended up getting none of these. A new hotel showed up on my searches this week, and I booked it.

I will start a new thread on it.

Booked with 2 adults & 2 children. When I called Drury, they could confirm that this was 2 queen beds.

I believe this is the only 3.5* with a breakfast, so that should be a good clue.

Thanks for giving me the confidence to bid on this property!

Congrats on your success. :)

Can't beat this excellent Drury deal, especially with all of the extras that the Drury properties offer.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's HOTWIRE link.

Enjoy your stay.
