Magnolia Hotel St. Louis, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
The room was clean and spacious. Hotel staff were nice and very accommodating given the issues we had with the valet service. While I understand the valet is a seperate entity, the hotel should revisit their relationship with thos vendor. They need to improve with more valets available each shift. ...
