Radisson Hotel St Louis Downtown Convention Center

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.

First off. No parking, lobby was hot like no a/c was working, restaurant was shut down, got our room it was decent, bathroom light didn’t work. They fixed it immediately though. Only enough towels for 2 people to shower. We had 2 adults and 2 children. Went to the pool. It was hot once again like no a/c working. But the water in the pool was so cold you couldn’t get in it. And it was so chlorinated that you couldn’t see past the surface. Went back to the room and got showers. A/c in room didn’t work very well but was good enough. No breakfast options in the morning. But could by snacks and drinks in the lobby. Very over priced for some bulk buying from Sam’s. Paid way too much for the quality of the hotel. Won’t go back next time.

The hotel is kind of a dump, and it does not appear that there's any initiative to maintain a nice appearance. There's no parking lot on site, so you park in a public lot that is far from secure. The area within a block from the hotel is very questionable and seems to be on a part of the city that is neglected. I do not recommend this hotel.
