Clayton Hotels with Gym

We had a good time at the hotel. The facility was good. The gym and the pool were great. We did not try the restaurant, but we ate and drank at the bar. The bartenders were good. The biggest problem was water. The toilet leaked a bit and did not flush well. Also, the ice machine was leaking and made the rug in the hall wet. However,The best part was the doorman/porter, Harvey Jr. He was helpful, polite and very kind.

This hotel is centrally located in ”downtown” Clayton with easy access to highways and main roads throughout St. Louis. We got free parking for 2 of the 3 nights we were here and discounted parking on the third night. A substantial breakfast with an omelet and waffle bar is included. My only caveat is that there were special functions 2 of the 3 nights on the 7th Floor (ballroom) and we could hear/feel the thump of the bass on the 4th floor (it was louder in the bathroom, for some reason). Front desk staff acknowledged the ”noise” and noted that the event would end at 11 p.m. Not sure I'd stay here again, given the potential for that level of disturbance. Otherwise a clean hotel with attentive staff in a handy location.

I stayed here four night while on a business trip. The hotel is impeccably clean, the rooms updated, the fitness room was well equipped. The breakfast area is large and stocked with everything you could imagine. They even had breakfast to go bags that I saw multiple families taking advantage of for their young children. When I checked out I told the front desk that this is one of the best hotels I have stayed at, and that I travel monthly for business. Little did I know my interaction with them wasn’t over yet. I realized going through security at the airport that I left the sweatshirt I planned to wear hanging in the closet of my hotel room. I called and asked if I could pay to have it shipped to my home. While I had plenty of time before my flight, I didn’t have enough time to go back and forth to the hotel. They not only retrieved my sweatshirt from my room, but the general manager brought it to me at the airport before my flight. He wouldn’t accept my tip. When insisted, he said he would give it to the housekeeping staff. What great service, and what a great manager. Look no further if you need a place to stay in the Clayton, MO area.

Pros: The room was beautiful, modern and very well appointed . Housekeeping was seamless . Breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious and had something for everyone . Staff at breakfast were accommodating and provided excellent service . The Cigar Club was outstanding . Ambiance , service and drinks were unique and very enjoyable . Lobby was very beautiful in an old school kind of way. Lovely hotel. Cons: front desk staff needs better training . Upon arrival we sat there for about 10 minutes being simply ignored by two front desk staff members who were helping someone . I understand perfectly they were busy but least a greeting would have been nice , or one of the two staffers attending to us while the other one helped the other guest . Once they helped us, they were polite, but not overly welcoming . Through the fine resorts and hotels programs we didn’t get the automatic upgrade or the welcome amenity that we should have received . Upon check out we had to call someone because the two front desk staff members available were in the back room chatting and laughing loudly but no one attending to the front desk. Towels, please replace them or at least bleach them . They all had seen better days. The smaller towels were in better shape and you could see the contrast with the large older looking towels . These details matter a lot at a hotel like this. Overall it was a nice stay but at times didn’t seem to match other stays at other Ritz Carlton properties we’ve stayed at in terms of attention to detail or level of service provided by the front desk.

I feel very good, and the service is also very good. The staff are very friendly and will help you when you need any help. You can also take care of small pets at the front desk. I especially like their bar on the first floor. It is very comfortable to sit on the side of the street at night and watch the street view outside.
