One of the Very Best in St. Louis!!

The ambiance and overall experience was superb. A few things could use a spruce-up. (ie. replace the rusty shower curtain rod, perhaps larger bath towels). Otherwise, accommodations were quite satisfactory. The bar tender, Chris, at Fox & Hounds Tavern was spectacular!! All staff were cordial and attentive! We love The Cheshire, and it will remain our destination for our stays in St. Louis!

Not worth $200 a night

The toilet was clogged the moment we got into the room, when we removed trash bag from the cans the trash cans were disgusting we had to hide them so our 1 year old child wouldn’t touch them, it was dirty all around

I requested a remodeled bath at checkin but said none available. And 1st room toilet did not work so they changed room for us. 2nd room had multiple water stains on ceiling. Bathrooms definitely need remodeled in all the standard units.

This is a very cool property built in the 1920s to look like an "Olde English" Inn. Every room is named for an English author. It's a unique experience and I'm glad we tried it out. I don't usually use hotel pools but this one looked so inviting that I checked it out and was glad I did. The staff was excellent and when our original room had toilet problems we were immediately upgraded to a junior suite with twice the room and a view over the pool, which we really appreciated. The hotel is a bit rough around the edges and could use an upgrade. Also, since it was built 100 years ago, the bathrooms are on the small side. If you are looking for the latest in modern amenities, you might want to look elsewhere. We chose the hotel primarily for its unique look and for its location close to Forest Park, where we visited the art and history museums and the zoo, but found it very convenient overall, since it is right off I-64.

My flight to St. Louis was canceled and I checked in one day late. The hotel charged me for two nights even though this was not my fault. When I called the front desk they were very unhelpful and very rude.

The hotel needs a deep cleaning. You are required to notify them 24 hours in advance to have your room cleaned. We did on Saturday and our room was never cleaned on Sunday. The hallways, elevator and general area floors need to be cleaned. It almost appear as if there is no managerial staff on premise. We have stayed here in the past, but La Meridian here we come. Our son graduated from Washington University in St. Louis and is now residing in the city full time. Thus, we will be visiting often, but not residing at The Cheshire.

This is not a cookie cutter hotel ..... structure is very old but interior is interesting and pretty neat. They need to pay more attention to towel service in gym and pool area. Front desk employees are really nice.
