My wife and I visited St Louis for the first time - a friends wedding on the weekend, we came a few days early and spent 2 nights at the Pennywell so we could explore downtown. We were very happy with the hotel - it was in a great location with easy walking access to Arch, the Ballpark Village, and several small urban parks. The lobby was very nice, the service was excellent, and our room was very comfortable. We had a drink at the bar, but did not eat at the hotel, so no comment on the food. Parking was fine - there is a valet, but we parked ourselves and had no trouble. We would stay again and we would recommend this hotel to others.
