The DoubleTree was our home for a very long weekend in St. Louis. It's located near the Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Hospital at the Southern tip of the Central West End.
We didn't have any overwhelmingly positive or overwhelmingly negative experiences. It was all middle of the road, with the standard things you'd expect from a hotel. The smell of fresh, warm cookies in the lobby always turns our frowns upside down though!
We took advantage of the breakfast buffet the first morning, and for $12 you can definitely get your money's worth if you're on a budget. Bottomless coffee and the usual suspects of breakfast foods. However, it's nothing to get out of bed for if you know what I mean?
Our room had a parking lot view, a closet, refrigerator, coffee maker, desk, TV, ample charging stations and two queen beds. The beds were, in fact, comfortable and cozy.
Probably my favorite "amenity" was the close, walking distance proximity to restaurants and shops in the Central West End. I went to Kaldi Coffee Roasters every day (sometimes twice) and there are other great places nearby like Lazy Tiger, Saigon Cafe, Brennan's, etc.
Keep in mind you do have to Uber/Lyft to get to other parts of the city like Downtown, The Hill, etc. Nothing service or amenity wise blew it out of the water, but it served as a solid home base.
