Hotels near Cotton Belt Freight Depot, St. Louis

My teen son and I stayed two nights. It was better than we had hoped. The rooms are enormous. We had a wet bar with refrigerator, a couch and two queen beds, plus a beautiful, large bathroom. This was a standard room. Absolutely worth the bargain price! They gave us a 15th floor room with a rooftop view of surrounding buildings. Definitely request a high floor room, the lower floor rooms face directly into the windows of nearby buildings. The only bummer was the parking situation. The parking is not on site. It was worth it to us to pay for the valet service because it is not a great neighborhood, but if you try to save money in that department you will be schlepping your luggage across a busy street. The staff was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed this hotel. P.S. Don't expect to eat here; their menu is severely limited due to the pandemic.

This is the worst hotel experience I have ever had. There is no available breakfast as advertised. There is no restaurant as advertised; there is a printed menu in the bar but it was not serving. One of the reasons I was staying was for the breakfast as part of my IHG rewards perks. I was promised points for the lack of breakfast but was not given any. Looking at past reviews, breakfast has been gone for a long time despite the advertisement of it. Additionally, the parking garage instruction email gave the incorrect parking garage, which cost me money to exit to park in the correct one. The access to the correct parking garage was confusing. An address is not even given, just turning instructions, and access is via a bank lobby. There was no upgrade or perk given to Diamond members. In fact, this was so blatantly disregarded that I have no idea why anyone would spend big with loyalty at IHG. I was not allowed late check out, even by 30 minutes. I’ve never had such lack of accommodation when I told them I might run late. In fact, the evening staff told me “check out at 12 would be fine, but confirm with the morning staff” and the morning staff didn’t allow a minute past 11. The front desk had a single person working it which caused long lines at the desk. I was not offered any solution or refund for their errant instructions on the parking garage. The phone in the room did not work. Overall, what should’ve been a relaxing stay ended up with chaos. I should’ve read more reviews before booking. I still never got any of the points promised for the lack of breakfast but I am done dealing with this nightmare hotel.

It rained on the day we went, the rain stopped and there was a rainbow near the arch. It can be seen in the hotel room. The accommodation is good and the service is also very good. There are restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and side doors within 200 meters. Arches and the old court, you can take the subway in ten minutes, it is the subway, don't follow the Google map on the road lost ~ strongly recommend the sushi love on the main road, there is a 20-knife buffet, very good and delicious, right, Please bring your own slippers and toothbrush toothpaste. Many foreign hotels do not provide ~

This hotel is located inside of on older building. It appears that they tried to keep the exterior facade of the building and build a hotel inside of it. The elevators are a little rickety and don't always give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Our room overlooked a garbage filled alley way. There was NO place to park. I was told upon checking in that the valet lot was full so I have to find a place to park on the street. I am surprised that all of my tires and glass on the car were still there the next morning. When we got up for breakfast there weren't any small cups to use to get the right amount of batter in the waffle maker so people were using paper coffee cups and overflowing the waffle makers. The juice machine had 2 of the 4 types of juices out of order. The other types you had to press the button to dispense so hard it almost tilted the machine backwards. And after all that the juice would come out just a little, stop, then a little more, stop, a little more etc so it took a long time to fill up your glass. The packets of syrup for waffles were EXTREMELY hard to open to the point you almost needed to use some scissors. I definitely will not stay at this property again. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Double charge you on your credit card and don’t release your funds right away. Poor customer service. No Refrigerator or microwave in the room. No social distancing in the hotel. Only thing they did have was good food.

Location in proximity to city attractions is amazing 5/5. Location in terms of safety is 2/5. There isn’t a covered secured lot for your car and I was approached by many people asking me for money while taking a walk around the building. Service is hit or miss. When I arrived, and attempted to open my car door, I was accosted by the valet who yelled at me and asked me what I was TRYING to do. I told him I was checking in to the hotel. And he was aggressively unpleasant, seemingly angry that I had arrived. Conversely, the valet attendant the next day was polite and wonderful. The front desk was nice but did not review any of the amenities nor offer any information about the hotel, which is a shame. Nice but inattentive and uninterested. The service at both Idol Wolf and Good Press were 5/5. The food at both were 5/5. The hotel itself is gorgeous. There’s art set in an old gym. The renovation is well done. Enjoyed it very much. The view from the room was also very nice. The room itself was standard with a few attention to detail things needing addressed. Such as broken handles and non working bathroom fixtures. Overall would recommend this hotel because it is unique. Big plus - they allow pets!!! Yes!

If this hotel is representative of what Marriott is doing with Westin's, the Westin brand is deteriorating. Plastic cups in the rooms like a Best Western. Quattro restaurant is poor; asked for glasses for wine and one glass was very dirty. Quattro delivered our dinner to the wrong room; when we got the dinner it was not what we ordered. Thermostat in room was 'dead'; if not fixed management would make us move everything to a different room at 8:30 pm. Maintenance found that when the filters were changed the thermostat was not turned on! And the guest had to discover the thermostat was not working. Westin still has comfortable beds. Fortunately the valet and front desk people were good--although the staffing is very thin until 7am when the nightshift ends! Do not recommend and will avoid Westins in the future.

We stayed here over the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The hotel and grounds are phenomenal. I highly suggest paying the couple dollars extra for valet parking- saves TONS of walking and time! The valet staff were very professional and accommodating. Upon arrival, (it was very late at night) we arrived and pulled up to the hotel- valet immediately came out and offered to assist; I asked for general hotel parking and was kindly directed toward the area- upon arrival to that area (not really close to the entrance- general parking lot is like $35/day)- we chose to return to front door valet for $40.... Parking is overall expensive. But, we were assisted in unloading our car and immediately taken to our reserved room. Hotel is very impressive, the lobby is beautiful- and the property is rich with history (former actual station); the room was nice, very clean, and quiet- despite the multiple wedding events occurring over the weekend. There are many restaurant and food service/delivery options available. The staff was the BEST! The grounds included hourly light shows over pier/Koi fish pond; Landry Seafood onsite, along with- Ferris wheel (my kids loved), putt-putt golf, small slide/park area... It was really a great experience to stay here. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and has multiple on-site entertainment options (along with an aquarium)- minutes SAFE walk to multiple major attractions. Bed was incredibly comfortable. We stayed long enough to need extra towels- I notified/requested the front desk for additional, and they were delivered to our room within 10 minutes. Upon arrival, we were unable to locate the TV remote- called the front desk and was immediately delivered a new remote for the TV. We did not have any major issues, but even our minor needs were met with utmost speed. I highly recommend this hotel for family and couples.

The location was great if you are attending an event at the soccer stadium, Union Station or the Enterprise Center. Easy to walk to all those locations. This property was easy to get to off the freeway and has on-site parking ($10/day). Hotel has been updated and was very nice. Beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. No free breakfast in the morning, but you can purchase food and coffee there. I would stay there again when going to downtown St. Louis.

The room is very clean, the space is large, close to the University of St. Louis, near St. Louis, this hotel accounts for the top1 of Ctrip's best-selling hotel. After staying, it is indeed worthy of the name!
