Wonderful, helpful staff. The bar is the best feature. Great stay.

We really love the hotel and it’s location was convenient with plenty of parking. Staff were helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

When checking in, the staff woman was less than friendly. There seemed to be a situation with another upset guest that may have caused the unpleasant nature. Once we entered the room, we noticed right away a musty smell. The AC did not seem to be working correctly. Though it never got hot, it also never got any cooler. The furniture had visible stains and a few of the pillow cases had staining as well. The pillows themselves are downed pillows and once you lay on them, they flatten out thin. We requested a few extra pillows that were supposed to be brought to our room which never arrived. We requested more towels which were also supposed to be brought to our room which also never arrived. Breakfast on morning one for us which was Sunday was great, however it was apparent that the fruit and pastries were being reused daily and by our check out morning on Tuesday they were no good. The pool area was decent. You have to reserve the canopy so it was unusable to us. Overall, our stay was okay. I wouldn’t say it was awful but I wouldn’t say it was great either. We don’t intend on staying in the future.

The bed frames were ripped, the covers didn't fit the bed and the smell was horrid
-
The bar on site was very cool, has speakeasy vibes.
-
Bosso was an excellent meal with good ambience and well worth the price.
-
It has a phone but no cords to connect. Room had a musty smell.

Love this hotel! We enjoyed the British author concept. We learned about the author for our room and the books he wrote. The room was decorated in era form. This was a great stay. Breakfast was the best. I would stay again when we visit St Louis. Thanks

Parking garage is a bit sketchy and the hotel does not feel clea
-
Very charming property. We loved learning about a new author and the nice breakfast. Free street parking on the street is plentiful so I wouldn't pay for hotel parking. On-site restaurant was very loud and didn't have kid's menu but we made do.
-
Very unique hotel. I love historical feel and whimsy, and this hotel fits both. Very old English feel, with all of the antique looking furniture. Breakfast was included with the room and it was fantastic. The fresh fruit was such a nice treat. You can tell it's not a new hotel, but it was very clean, which is more important to me!

Great place

Arrive late and staff was very accommodating and friendly. Woke up the next morning and noticed how dirty the room was. Hair on the bathroom floor, dirty silverware between the bed and night table that was covered in a thick layer of dust that also surrounded the edge and underneath the beds. A new package of fake press on nails behind the television also covered by a thick layer of dust. Amazing breakfast pastry selection and baskets off fresh fruit throughout the lobby.

Someone was allowed dogs that barked until midnight next door to us

The boutique hotel was a very neat experience. The staff was very helpful. It was a central location for the things we wanted to do while in St. Louis.

The Cheshire is our home away from home in St Louis. We’ve stayed here at least seven times in the last thirteen years and have never been disappointed. The location is so central with great highway access that it’s hard to be more than twenty minutes from most places to visit.

We loved this hidden gem.
-
For cleanliness I give it about a 6.5/10. Definitely wear socks on the carpet. The staff were wonderful! The pool is nice. The breakfast is really good too. If you’re looking for a quick trip (we stayed 3 nights) it’s a great hotel to stay

This is our 2nd stay at The Cheshire and it might be our last. The carpeting probably hasn’t been cleaned in around 10-20 years. Ok, that might be too harsh but the musty smell in the hallways and also in the rooms is more than likely due to the dirty carpets. The entire place just needs a total, thorough cleaning and some maintenance on the building. The bedframe is terrible in the rooms!! I slammed my toes and knees several times. Tip: wrap bed frame corners with pillows and/or blankets. Bed-sheets are so old and they are see thru. Staff is pretty friendly. Oh, we stayed 3 nights and 2 times our room keys would not work. Told by hotel staff that we must have had our phones next to it. IDK. The hotel bar is another story!! Chris, the bartender, is the best bartender I have ever met!! Tasty drinks and listening to an awesome playlist by Chris. The atmosphere of the place is awesome!! It feels like you’re in a pub in England!!
