Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch
This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The Gateway Arch National Park is within walking distance as in right next door. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dinner was included (not sure if that’s a regular thing or just for the night we stayed). Hot tub was slightly on the cooler side for my liking ...
