I just wanted to share my recent stay at this hotel, I was there for a week and half and everyone there was wonderful especially the waitress at the restautrant that I visited each morning, her name was Yongae, she made me feel so special and knew exactly what I wanted each morning, she remembered everything about me and all other guest who she waited on. She was so attentative and personable, everyone felt that comfort in her. She was the best part about my stay. Also Dan the manager was great and the two girls who worked at the bar, expecially when they were so busy and shorthanded. They all deserved a huge raise for all the hard work they did during my entire stay. Thank you for making my stay very pleasant and enjoyable, home away from home!!!

The beds were so comfortable and the staff was really friendly. There was a breakfast buffet included and of course doubletree's famous chocolate chip cookies...love!

I stayed at this hotel with my three daughters recently, and had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel offers all the standards -- nice, comfortable lobby, great bed, nicely decorated and updated room, good location near the airport, and pleasant staff. The reason for the high marks, however, is because of the extras. Here's an example:

* For fitness buffs, the equipment is in great condition (Precor). Also, the fitness room has free water bottles and towels, which is typically only found in the high-priced hotels. Very appreciated.
* Towels in the room are full-size/extra large, and plentiful. We did not order extra towels ahead of time (a nice Hilton feature), but the room was already stocked with more than the standard two. Also appreciated.
* There is a full-length mirror in the room. Great when traveling with teenage daughters!
* The room has an abundance of lighting -- not your average "one lamp on the table next to the bed and maybe one extra."
* Shampoo and conditioner bottles are larger than normal, which means you can easily get more than one person's use.
* The room has a full size desk for those of us who need a good working area.
* Warm cookies at check-in? Love it, after a long drive.

The hotel doesn't have a free breakfast, but instead has a good restaurant with a two-option buffet (full or continential) or a menu. The fruit was fresh, and selection was good. Our waitress was great. But it's important to consider this in the budget, since we spent at least $30 for the meal. Even with this, the hotel was a good value, and felt more expensive than what we paid.

One final note -- we stayed on one of the top floors, which meant it was absolutely quiet. Since the hotel is off the highway, being on a top floor may make a difference in your experience.

Bottom line, I would recommend this hotel, and will return when my business and pleasure takes me back to St. Louis.
