Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

10/10 Excellent
"The property is well located, clean and generally well maintained. The shower system is great with the ability to set your own temperature! The breakfasts are included in the room rate and feature both hot and cold items. Parking is easy and at a minimal cost. The property contains a fitness center and a self service laundry. We stay there whenever we visit the St. Louis area and recommend it highly."
