Residence Inn Galleria, in St. Louis Mo.
My wife and I have been coming to St. Louis for years and many time we have stayed at the Galleria Residence Inn. It is by far the best place for us. It has all the amenities we need. The location is perfect, located at the junction of I-64 and I-175 and with in walking distance of one of St. Louis's premier mall, The Galleria. Also, if you should want to ride the Metro, the train station is even closer than the mall.
The location near, even though near the interstates, is in a very quiet residential neighborhood.
They have just completed a complete renovation. (January 2012) You would think it was brand new.
They have studio, one bed room and two bed room apartments and the rates are very low for what you get, especially on week ends.
Give them a try, they are part of the Merriott family.

I was a bit hesitant to stay here after reading some other comments about this hotel. In short, the place was great, comfortable, and clean. The bed was really comfortable and the noise unnoticable as we requested a room away from the highway. The rooms must've been recently renovated because everything was top-notch and clean. Another perk was the access to the Galleria and shops right down the street. There is also a M stop for easy access into St. Louis. Breakfast selection was vast and the room a bit crowded but tolerable. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this Residence Inn.

My goodness, where do I begin? So our family was driving back home to Chicago from Kansas City. We hadn't planned on spending the night in St. Louis, but thunderstorms had slowed us down and with a 6 year old and 2 year old, we decided to surrender and find a hotel. About an hour out of St. Louis, my task was to find a hotel while my husband was driving. He said, "Why don't you go with a Marriott? That's a safe bet." So I picked something from my smartphone that seemed decent enough. The name of the hotel is very misleading. First of all, once we got into town, we circled the Galleria shopping mall thinking the hotel was next to it or connected to it. It was actually out of the way and tucked behind another area. When I had booked the room over the phone, I chose the "penthouse" and thought it would be the best. Think again. It was the worst setup for a family with small kids, especially a 2 y.o. "Two bedrooms" was more like a loft with a steep staircase that I cringed at when I saw it - again, not good for the 2 y.o. who was unsteady on his feet to begin with. The floors on the second level creaked every time you walked on them. Both tvs were broken - the first floor tv's remote control didn't work; the second floor tv's volume was stuck on loud mode. The beds were very uncomfortable, with a sheet missing on one of them. Really?? How does maid service forget to put a sheet on a bed when servicing a room? My husband and the 2 y.o. took the bed on the first floor while my 6 y.o. and I took the bed on the second floor. My husband and I could hear arguing neighbors (thin walls), and even the 2 y.o. who had a limited vocabulary said phrases like "I go" and "get shoes". It was so bad he wanted to leave too! What takes the cake is, very early in the morning, I heard strange sounds which I thought were either my husband or 2 y.o. breathing heavily. It turns out it wasn't either of them; it was the bleeping birds in the fireplace chirping away! My husband and I got up before both kids (with neither of us getting good rest), packed whatever we had out which wasn't much, and stared at the kids until they woke up. We couldn't wait to dash out of there. We didn't stay for breakfast. This place was one of THE WORST Marriott properties we have ever stayed at, and we've stayed at many, both domestically and internationally. Don't stay here! You will regret it.

I stayed in this establishment for a 3 day conference that was held at the hotel. The room was newly updated, and very clean. There is a lot of noise in and around the facility, interstate traffic, airport, and then the rooms next to and above. The amenities were great, full kitchen in the room and large comfortable bed. The breakfast buffett was average, but a lot of selection, but very crowded. The lobby area is very small and busy. Great restaurants nearby, along with the Galleria Mall.
