Moonrise Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the Moonrise and will stay here anytime I come to St. Louis. I have stayed here multiple times and never had a negative experience. Easy parking, walking to food, next door to concert venues, plus pet friendly. The rooftop bar is great too!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton St. Louis/Forest Park

10/10 Excellent

"I never leave reviews but truly, after staying here one night with my family of five, this hotel and staff were worth it. Every single staff member I encountered acknowledged me, asked how they could help me, or greeted me. Everyone was polite and cheerful. Kim at the front desk in the evening was particularly nice during the check in process. The staff taking care of breakfast in the morning were also great. The pool was a great activity for my kids, they swam in the evening and the next morning. Everything was clean, the hot water was hot and the heating/air worked perfectly. Great location, free parking and free breakfast. Can’t beat the value!"
