Great for the med campus.

Perfect for business at the hospital. Friendly staff and nice hotel.

very pleasant stay

the hotel was clean and pleasant and the staff couteous. They did not advertise that they have a free breakfast, which would have been nice to know ahead of time. Also the hotel is not overlooking Forest Park, which I had thought it was. It's about two blocks away Overall though it was a very nice place.

A pleasant enough stay

While the hotel is located on a busy street near a large hospital, which makes it a bit noisy if you are on the street side of the hotel, you are in a neighborhood that has lots of eateries nearby and the park isn't too far away. The room was comfortable and clean and there was free ethernet. The doors to other rooms are very loud when they close, so in the morning you hear lots of people going in and out of their rooms. The only really disappointing thing about this hotel was the breakfast. It wasn't very good, a standard selection but poorly prepared, and it is located in a corner of the lobby so that everybody is bunched together to get to the food. The tables are actually out in the lobby and there aren't enough. Many people had to sit on couches and balance their plates in their laps. Inexplicably, the coffee and tea is far from the breakfast display. So, mediocre to bad food and a totally impracticle set up for breakfast.

Excellent service

The staff was exceptionally professional and friendly, and the rooms and common areas were appealing, clean, and well cared for. The Forest Park neighborhood is a treat too- the park itself is gorgeous (completely changed my opinion of the city overall) and there are great ethnic cuisine restauraunts just a block from the hotel. Two items to consider: if you want a view, ask for it. We didn't care and so didn't ask, and the window did indeed open to the parking garage. Also, if you are planning on being out quite late downtown, plan ahead for cab fare of at least $15 back to the hotel.

Everything we expected!

We chose this hotel for it's proximity to st louis childrens hospital. the hotel is connected to the hospital via covered walway which was great for us. definately recommend this hotel if staying for a while at st louis childrens hospital.

Nice hotel but needs some improvement

The lobby was beautiful, which gave me high hopes for the room. The room, however, seemed a little dated and there was no hotel information book. The front desk staff was not too great - forgot to give everyone their welcome gift (we were there for a wedding). Having an Applebees attached to the hotel was very nice.

A Few Issues

the window in my room looked directly into the parking structure. there was no entrance from the garage to the hotel.

Excellent choice

We had all good experiences with this hotel. The room was extremely clean and comfortable, and the front desk staff very helpful. There are only two computers in the business center, so one may need to plan around that if checking in for a flight online. Beautiful neighborhood across the street, with many little cafes and coffee shops. Easy access to the metro-about three blocks.

So convenient for us as we have testing and doctors meetings at Barnes Hospital.

Sometimes Reviews May Be Misleading

I have changed reservation from other hotel to Parkway because of reviews. However, I was very disappointed. The staffs were very friendly upon check-in. As I was walking corridor to my room, the odor from cleanig chemical were so strong that I covered my nose and mouth. The room is decent sized. However, the shower tub was not very clean. Dart residue reamined. What really shocked me was that there were left over used tissue under sheet. I suspect cleaning crew made beds without changing sheets. In early morning, the noise from buses on street was so much it was hard to remain bed. I regretted for choosing room on street side over parking.
