Embassy Suites St. Louis - St. Charles

Good location, great features.

We chose this hotel really for two reasons: we booked fairly late (just two weeks before the solar eclipse) and had trouble finding accommodations, and the room taxes in other St. Louis-area neighborhoods were ridiculous. For just a few dollars more than a "regular" hotel a few towns over, we got a good-sized, well-appointed room and a fantastic breakfast in a location that was easily accessible. The room was clean and comfortable and the parking was ample and easy to get in and out of. We would certainly reconsider coming back here in the future.

The biggest gripes we had were really a result of the huge influx of people for the solar eclipse: the front parking lot area was full and we had to go to the rear entrance just to park while checking in, the breakfast line was quite long on Saturday (and there were limited spaces to sit down to eat it), and the pool felt a little small for the number of people. Any normal weekend, I imagine these issues would not be a problem.
