Staying at ”The Chase” is an absolute pleasure. It is an extremely gorgeous hotel that offers rooms (and furnishings) that are very comfortable and clean. It is located in the ”Central West End” and is convenient to entertainment, museums, tourist attractions, a plethora of restaurants, and other things to see and do in St. Louis. It is located across from ”Forest Park” (a 1,300 acre urban park) that contains The St. Louis Zoo, Planetarium, Art Museum, Worlds Fair Pavilion (circa 1904), and Missouri History Museum. Most facilities do not charge admission. All of these attractions are right across the street from ”The Chase”. The only thing better than staying in an area that satisfies so many interests, is staying in a hotel that is welcoming, historic and truly, One of a kind.
Check in was quick and easy but our first room had a horrible smell that we had to change rooms. Staff switched rooms without issues but no act of concern. Second room smelled better but was still not cleaned well. Rooms in need of remodel or maintenance upkeep. Ceiling has flaking paint, furniture and interior doors worn, and carpet stained. Pool and hot tub need cleaned with scum layer formed on wall sides and floor. Most of this hotel is just poorly cleaned. Never seen anything like it for a Marriott hotel.
Stayed 1nt in a queen room #1001 on 10th floor with a coffee maker, individual controlled air con & also a ceiling fan in Aug & was very cool to sleep. Bathroom had a shower/tub combo with sliding doors. On the same floor is a pool table room & a reading room with tons of books, recliners, a piano & sheet music! On the 8th floor with the ice machine, snack vending machine & drink vending machine, there is also a microwave! The rooms don’t have one but you can go here to heat up your leftovers👍 Free shuttle to/from cardinals game; first departure 1 hr before game. Parking garage is $18 & is in & out. Bring ticket in for reception to validate. & it is Almost attached…just across a one way tiny street from the back entrance..didn’t see an elevator so park on 2nd level if possible(1st floor for “members”) We walked to & from cardinals game & it was quick, easy & safe. We would stay here again if the price was still much better than the other hotels in the area. Also: they have a water bottle refilling station in the lobby (sort of hidden across from check in by the coat check room)
CCiera HThe hotel was so beautiful! The walls were a little disappointing, but that’s a part of its old charm. It’s not going to be perfect, but I love the view from the pool. I wish I had more time to stay. they were so sweet. It was my boyfriend‘s birthday and they said happy birthday. They also got him something from the convenience store, which is really nice. They were. The staff was really really helpful and kind.
ゲゲストTwo of the main things I looked for when booking was a pool and free parking. The pool was indoors which was fine. Was surprised to see how small it was and was a big let down that it was so freezing we couldn’t enjoy it at all. So it was a let down that one of the main reasons I booked here we didn’t get to use the pool. This place does have newer furniture in its rooms but the floor throughout and the furniture it the lobby is just stained up and dingy. The signs on 1st floor for ice machine/vending are wrong. Asked a rude house keeper that was upset bc I guess I interrupted her cleaning. She had told me it was around the corner…. The out of order machine was on the other side of the building. I finally found me an ice machine on next floor. The people at the front desk are very nice and courteous. Really nice. But wish they had explained more on their parking so that I didn’t end up with a ticket each day I was there. So they have no free parking lots at the moment. You either have to park in their drop off zone are a section of street parking on the side. The other lots available you have to pay per day. Due to this I found a spot on the side (side street parking as they suggested) and I didn’t move my car. I kept it there the entire time and walked everywhere I needed to go. Well when I went to leave I had parking tickets racked up for several days. I went in and asked them if that was there parking as told previously and they said yes. I told them about the tickets and they said it was managed by the city and u have to back in or get a ticket. That would be nice to know when you offer that as a parking suggestion. I go out to lot to see if there was a sign. There was a sign many spots down that in the direction I was coming from wouldn’t have seen. I also looked all almost every vehicle was parked wrong way so obviously they weren’t told or didn’t see sign either. I started warning those I could. $30 a day ticket city it making a lot of money of that small parking section from out of towners etc that don’t know ST Louis parking laws …. The hotel won’t warn u of this and they know. Besides these couple things everything else was good.
