Spotless and quiet room in ideal location. The fitness center is small, but when I stayed, the weather was great. With Forest Park nearby, using a treadmill would be ridiculous

Room very clean, staff friendly. Only complain was the pub (at dinner) that was short staffed leading to long waits for food. Breakfast spread was great.

Great stay!!! Rooms were clean. Also so great there were a few rooms to do work. One thing to note if you come in late- it IS the bldg that says Charles Knight- there is a small sign that gives a number to call for after hours. We were definitely wandering since it was our first time staying and it does not give the “hotel’ feel. Anyway so glad we stayed and look forward to coming again.

It's a perfectly fine hotel, hidden in the Wash U campus. Very clean. Very quiet. The Pub wasn't open for business during our stay, so there wasn't much dining available unless you left campus. It's a beautiful old building, with modern amenities and a sense of monastic austerity about it, if that makes any sense. Would I stay there again? Yes. But a few more food options are always appreciated.
