Top Ellis Island Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis Union Station

10/10 Excellent

"We have always enjoyed the Drury Inn group, but this facility was exceptional. It is a historical building, a former YMCA for railroad workers, and very well preserved. They serve a nice breakfast as well as a delicious dinner buffet with a complimentary social hour. The staff is friendly and helpful. I also appreciate the secure parking garage. Close proximity to Union Station, Energizer Park for soccer, and a short drive to Busch Stadium and the Gateway Arch. Highly recommend!"
