Aloft by Marriott St. Louis Cortex

Friendly staff but I was surprised there was not self-parking onsite

We just needed a place to stay that was close to Barnes. This worked. Room was clean, staff was helpful, did not take time for breakfast. Parking not so great, but then we're not accustomed to city life.

Great experience for a short stay. Great staff and clean hotel. Very dog friendly which we loved.

Ice

Parking was a challenge even with valet.

Close to SLU Parking was expensive

The stay was great! Clean rooms, the pool area was clean, and the vibes were also there. There is a bar and a cute sitting area the second floor. The only downside was the parking. They had valet for an up charge but there was street parking nearby.

Easy-peasy, like a hotel stay should be.

Honestly loved it will be going back the loved the games area

We love it! Have stayed here twice now.

I loved the room is it uniquely designed and my daughter loved the pool and the little game area . It was an amazing experience for us both ❤️

I have booked hotel rooms all over the world, and I've yet to experience being told the room I reserved (and paid for ahead of time) was not available. The check-in was reasonably friendly but was met with negativity from the hotel operator when i asked if there was any way to fix the issue. The person on the other phone (assumed it was management) was quick to say no to any shift. The kicker is this: at 2:15 a.m. I got up to use the restroom (from the floor in our room, where I was sleeping). We were staying in the main tower/Western section of the hotel. When I looked down at the Eastern section of the hotel I could see in to rooms (because the hotel left the windows to open rooms open). There was not one but two rooms in the second connected tower, with two queen beds and no one staying in them. The same was true the next night as well. I have not been this disappointed in a stay in my adult life. As I see with others, it seems this hotel has serious management issues and we will no return.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff at Aloft was nothing short of spectacular. I had zero expectation that our room would be ready when we got to the hotel at 8, but they generously gave us a room when my expectation was that they hold our luggage until we came back to check in. From there, they recomended places to eat and visit, offered the shuttle for those places that were near. They greeted us the next day as if they had known us or that we were royals. The only thing I would caution other visitors is that there are no microwaves in the rooms, but you can walk down to the reception area and they have one there. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

This was an excellent location for us. The parking is not as convenient for able bodied people. The HC parking that we needed because of one of us being in a wheelchair was very convenient and without cost.

Otherwise, overall great stay.

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable

Great location right off the interstate. In a safe neighborhood as well. Would stay here again

A nice stay however the valet service charged us for 4 days when we were only there for 2 days. I got the receipt in my email 2 days later. Property is nice and close enough to the busier parts of the city.

Great central location to all the areas of St. Louis we wanted to visit on our family trip. Really great property to spend with family and friends.

The rooms were clean and staff was helpful. However hotel doesn’t live up to Marriott standards. I booked the hotel for visiting professionals. When I checked ahead, coffee carafes were empty by 10 am. My guests complained of low water pressure and spotty service eg not having enough coffee cups in the room. Not having free break fast is a disadvantage. Parking is expensive
