It was nice but the room could use some updates and the bathroom set up was not good, had a glass panel on the door , so couldn't leave light on at night. The beds were ok but more like doubles than queens. Kind of felt like I was staying at an older persons house.The breakfast wasn't that great., had quite a few pastries but eggs were cold.The pool was nice and the staff was freindly.Wallpaper was peeling in bathroom and some outlets didn't work.

We always stay at the Cheshire on our cross-country road trips. It's perfect for families and it's pet friendly. We like that it's clean, has character ( the rooms are named after different authors), and has good food options. The breakfast is healthy with fresh fruit options. But most of all, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I left clothing behind on one of our trips recently and they went out of their way to look for it and mail it to me! A special thank you to Roxie!

Bed and pillows where uncomfortable. Room and facilities were dirty. Parking was a joke due to there being 2 restaurants on the property as well so it was hard to find a spot as the hotel and restaurant shared the parking lot and garage but you had to pay to park if you stayed in the hotel.

I liked the concept and amenities of the Cheshire. People were very friendly. However our room and some areas of the hotel were not clean and well cared for. Our bathroom in particular was not clean. We saw staff sitting around on their cell phones a lot. The outdoor patio near the dining area needed attention also. Tables were dirty and needed a good hosing off.

This is definitely a unique hotel. The book/author themes is kind of cool, but overall it felt very outdated. The giant bear in the lounge area looks like it's been there for 100 years...missing fingers and toes...very dusty. Pool area could be really great if they had less metal tables and more loungers. Breakfast was a bonus.

We absolutely loved the Cheshire! It's so beautiful that we were tempted to never leave! My kids loved the breakfasts and the sparkling clean pool. We recommend the Cheshire to everyone and we will definitely be back!

I stayed at the Cheshire about 10 years ago, and I don't think a single thing has been improved since. The rooms are terribly dark and no fan in the bathroom. The beds are comfortable, but the air conditioning unit made lots of noise during the night and had a hard time cooling the room. The pool area is very nice, as is the breakfast. The $35 charge for parking daily is a joke. The underground parking is so low clearance we had to back out of the ramp because the clearance was only 6'2" and it would have ruined our vehicle.

When we arrived and checked in the air conditioner, wasn’t working in our room so I reported it to the front desk. The response I got back was oh it takes a little while to cool off. Well we went to dinner and when we came back from dinner, it still wasn’t working. So we went back down to the front desk and told them and finally there was a maintenance worker there who walked up with us to our room and realized that the breaker had been tripped reset it and then the air conditioner came on and it took a while for the room to cool off. Long story short they should’ve checked it when we first went down there to the front desk that’s my only complaint.

Clean and Comfortable

First trip to St. Louis, and this property was a good choice. The room was comfortable and clean; TV and WiFi were decent, and the property is clean. Pool is small but very well maintained and clean and they always had pool towels stocked, which seems to be rare these days. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Access to downtown STL was easy and about 10 minute drive. I only wish they would provide refrigerators in the rooms. I would stay here again.
