I traveled to St. Louis in the middle of April for a rare surgery that required me to be in the area for over a week after the procedure. After initially recovering at a more expensive hotel right next to the hospital, I was able to move to a less expensive location for my recovery. We carefully researched the area, and this hotel had the right mix that we were looking for, i.e. kitchen two queen beds, internet service, etc. We even stopped by before checking in, and the lobby of the hotel was decent, and for the rate the facility looked in decent shape.

We regret staying here for the following reasons:
1. Internet. The hotel states they offer highspeed wireless service for a small fee. Even though I was recovering, I still needed to get work done and be productive away from home. After several days of extremely slow speed (about the speed of dial-up) I discovered the problem. The entire hotel is on a 768K DSL line, with a good portion of it being used for hotel communications. The fastest speed I ever got was about 200K, which means it took almost 10 minutes to download a presentation off my email. Youtube, Netflix, WebEx - FORGET IT. I could not work efficiently at all. Worst of all, Hotel manager lied to my face about this
2. Cleaning. We stayed here over a week, and you are offered a cleaning service once for the week. We picked a day a few after we arrived, and the cleaning staff arrived at 8am while i was on a call with co-workers in Ireland. I asked for them to come back later, which they refused, and I politely asked the management if we could reschedule. They said it would not be a problem, but the cleaners never came.
3. Other guests. The hotel was generally quite, but occaisionally another guest would shout or there would be loud banging on the walls. It did not make for a comfortable stay.
4. General Service. Management and front desk personnel at this hotel do one of two things, they either lie to your face or feign an inability to help you. Trash in the parking lot? We'll take care of it! No they didn't, we had to pick up the trash. Similar with the internet, cleaning, and other small items.

Next time I will be spending the extra $5/$10 a day and get a real hotel.

I greatly recommend this hotel, not only for the extraordinary service provided by the staff, but also the overall appearance. At this hotel it is like a home away from home, you are actually part of the family when you step into this hotel. All the other hotels need to take note, Homestead Studio Suites St. Louis - Westport is the place to lodge. Thanks & keep up the good work.

Paid 38.00 a night for three nights. After making reservations I perused the internet and read several reviews. Many of these reviews were written in a spirit of dissatisfaction. This made me apprehensive. Having now experienced this hotel I personally have found nothing but an immaculate room and an experience which was worth twice the price paid or more. Just a wonderful place to spend a few nights. I could find nothing to fault in the cleanliness of the room, its functionality etc. From my own experience I highly recommend this hotel.

This is a great deal if you won't be staying long and you aren't interested in being near traditional tourist stops in St. Louis. I booked the room on hotwire for about $30. You might find the hotel under the name Extended Stay America, but the building says Homestead Suites. The desk staff was very friendly and helpful, but not pushy. The room had a kitchenette, which was unexpected and nice.
The bed is not too comfy, but for a short stay, it was ok. The bathroom was fine; spacious and clean.
