    “Close to the park which was nice.”

    “The location of the hotel and the rooms themselves are great - I had a king suite and this really felt like a 1 bedroom apartment that was very comfortable. The hotel is walking distance from many restaurants, a whole foods market, and forest park. The pool is heated and a dream to swim in. If you want to exercise, it has a great gym.”

  • Good location for Forest Park

    “This is a classic grand old hotel that is, for the most part, very well maintained and retains a lot of the classic charm from decades ago without being stuffy or out of date. It is in the perfect location for attending MUNY performances or other Forest Park events. Positives Location - borders Forest Park - walking distance to MUNY etc. To the right one block is a gourmet food grocery store (small and expensive, but convenient) and around the block to the right and down a block are a series of fun dive bars. Rooms - very clean. There are electrical and iphone outlets right on the side of the nightstand within very immediate and easy reach when you are in bed, vs. having to reach down and around the back of the nightstand. AC works extremely well and is individually room controlled. Suites are very spacious, with a completely separate bedroom from the living area, which has a living room area, a dining table area, and a large desk area for working. Mini frig is happily empty, so you can store your own beverages, and is not crammed full of the hotel mini bar pricey beverages. Bedroom has excellent mattress and linens, although the sheets needed to be remade to pull the sheets and quilt up higher than housekeeping made the bed. If you request in advance, you can get bathrobes but not slippers. Large closet with real hangers and lots of dresser drawers for storage space. You can request a luggage rack, although they are very small and very low, so we covered the dining table with paper towels and used the table for our luggage. Bedroom has good light blocking drapes. Bedroom has an alarm clock on the nightstand - YEA! Fitness Center - is open 24/7. I do not know where the 18000 feet 2 is located as the fitness center in the basement is nowhere near that big. Has good weight training equipment and several cardio machines (which, not a positive, are mostly very old, rusted out, noisy, or non-functional). Front desk staff -- impeccable service and professionalism. EXCELLENT people. Bar - serves food until 11 pm and is open until 1 am. Good live bands and dancing! Negatives Location - stay within a few blocks as the neighborhood changes instantly with most buildings in shreds and boarded up Rooms Bathroom is very very small. The door does not stay open and you bump into it all the time. The tub is old and very slippery, and there is nothing to which to hold for steadiness and security if you need it. Towels are ok but sort of cheap - nowhere nearly as good as the bed linens. Very little counter space or storage space. Clean. Lighting is dark. Fitness Center -- see above. Much smaller and older than the "18,000 square feet wow" as described on the website. Most cardio equipment is old, rusted out, does not work very well, uncomfortable to use. Big old fan blows very cold air. No restroom - you have to go upstairs to the restroom off the lobby so it's just as easy to go to your room. Parking - self is $40 valet is $50. BReakfast - very expensive and very small portions. Fruit bowl at $6 is two berries and a slice of apple.”

  • Great stay and perfect location

    “Really enjoyed our stay here! The location was one of the biggest highlights—there were so many great restaurants, bars, and things to do within walking distance, so it made exploring the area really easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The hotel’s amenities were great with a great hotel bar.”

  • Love the Chase!
