Magnolia Hotel St. Louis, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

This is a nice, classic hotel in a part of downtown St. Louis that gets quiet fairly quickly at night. I suspect that it's a great deal when staying for a convention, but I was on the back end of a work/play trip, so, for me, it was a great deal just to be located in downtown during a Cardinals weekend. Scooters are plentiful in the area, as are some top-notch restaurants. The hotel bar is pretty sweet but closes relatively early.

The valet parking was more an annoyance than a help. The garage was directly across the street, easy walking, and I prefer to know where my car is and where my car keys are. The shower had some losses in the shower pan, and should be replaced.

Everything was great!

Great rooms, price was good, nice area to walk.

Our check in time was supposed to be 3p. Upon arrival our rooms weren’t ready. We were told they would take about an hour but they would call us or text us. We never got a call or text and had to check back with the hotel ourselves. The clerk forgot to put us on the call list. The room was warm and regardless of what we dropped the thermostat to the room unfortunately did not cool down. The shower was outdated and wasn’t as clean as it should have been. My husband also found a hair on his bath towel that didn’t belong to him. The lounge and authenticity of the hotel was nice. We ordered room service which was good for hotel food. We just expected more from a “Tribute Portfolio Hotel.” The location was prime for getting around downtown by foot. Parking was frustrating because you had to either do valet or find your own which there were no self parking garages or lots close by. We were told we could possibly park in the Marriott garage and then we were turned away upon arrival.
