A wonderful break from boring hotels! My kids loved all the artwork and the scavenger hunt. The pub food and drinks were fantastic, as was the hotel breakfast each morning. We will definitely plan to return.

Best hotel we've stayed at in MO. It's like a mini Drake hotel but not in Chicago, IL. Safe and secure parking, staff pleasant and resoursefull, clean and comfortable rooms and All amenities, Restaurants on site would come back just to dine at. There was not one bad thing to say about this hotel.

This was once an iconic place and I stayed there regularly. Each year things seem to slip a little. Still a great place with a fantastic location. I hope they prioritize the facilities again.

There was different types of hair where the coffee items sit. Feel like that area should be spotless. Bed was very comfortable. A/C worked great!

Fantastic hotel and great breakfast. Very quaint with a cool speakeasy type bar downstairs and a great Italian restaurant next door. Loved everything about this hotel especially the rooms named after British authors. Our room was the author of Goldie Locks and the 3 Bears, but someone had taken the book! Can't wait to come back!

Great place. Have stayed here six or more times in the last five years. Always a pleasant experience. Reasonably good breakfast. Coffee always available. Excellent staff interaction they’re all very helpful and personable. Walking distance to an excellent restaurant Basso just across the parking lot with good happy hour vibes and really good food. We’ll never stay anywhere else when we come to St. Louis

The Cheshire Inn is a landmark in St Louis, so we wish it all the best. It has been ten years since we last stayed there and, in that time, the Cheshire has deteriorated. Our room was clean and comfortable, but the rest of the establishment was dirty--elevator, breakfast area and lobby. The breakfast was just okay and the coffee which is SO important was way too strong. It was near the strength of expresso. The coffee is Starbucks which leans to the more robust strength, but their coffee was beyond that. I prefer cream in my coffee but will drink it black. The only "cream" available was sweetened (first ingredient listed was syrup), The morning coffee in bed is a treat I look forward to when overnight at a hotel. That didn't happen at the Cheshire.

The Cheshire is our home away from home in St Louis. We’ve stayed here at least seven times in the last thirteen years and have never been disappointed. The location is so central with great highway access that it’s hard to be more than twenty minutes from most places to visit.

Very charming property. We loved learning about a new author and the nice breakfast. Free street parking on the street is plentiful so I wouldn't pay for hotel parking. On-site restaurant was very loud and didn't have kid's menu but we made do.

Love this hotel! We enjoyed the British author concept. We learned about the author for our room and the books he wrote. The room was decorated in era form. This was a great stay. Breakfast was the best. I would stay again when we visit St Louis. Thanks

Overall, I am glad that we only stayed at this property for one night. It is a property has great "hardware" - building, space, style (and potentially history and stories) but reall fell short on "soft" side as to service and management. No matter the lobby or our room, especially the carpert and bathroom, really left us a feeling of not clean. It is a pity that such a nice building and spacious place are not well maintained and well managed. The location of the property is also very nice with easy access to Forest Park. It can be better, much better.

Suck a cute place. We did not eat on site, but their restaurants looked fabulous. We chose to eat in the Italian area near by which was fantastic. The charm of this place is lovely! We will definitely be back to stay.
