Forest Park Hotel

Staff changed our room to first floor. Friendly staff, clean room, good location. Would book again

showing its age but seemed well maintained

we were a little leery because of so many bad reviews but we found our room spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was not noisy and we had a balcony.

The elevator, it was a bumpy ride

It has the essentials--bed, chair, shower, toilet, towels, sheets, coffee maker. It even has a pool, although I didn't use it. It was adequately clean. My room didn't feel super clean, but I wasn't afraid of catching anything either. I think the location was good for my purpose in visiting St. Louis. Parking there was easy, and I never felt unsafe walking to and from my car. The employees were kind and friendly. There were vending machines on the ground floor and ice machines on several of the upper floors.

I didn't dislike anything about my experience, exactly, I just didn't love my experience here. When I arrived, I waited for several minutes for anyone to show up to the front desk, which happens sometimes, but he stopped helping me to help another guest when that guest walked up, which felt a little disrespectful. It wasn't a big deal, and I brushed it off, but it also stuck out in my mind. Almost nothing is very well lit in the hotel. That's not a big deal, but as a woman staying alone, good lighting feels safer, especially in hallways and waiting areas (like around the elevators and vending machine). My room didn't feel dirty, but it didn't exactly feel super clean either, maybe in part because of the lack of good lighting and stale air as I entered (they didn't have the aircon running when I came in), although the bathroom floors felt very waxy, almost to the point of feeling sticky, which was not a good sensory experience.
