This clean, comfortably appointed property is conveniently located on the campus of Washington University. Forest Park is within walking distance. It's part of a small conference center so groups of people are usually to be found meeting and talking in the various public areas and breakout rooms. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Complimentary water, ice, coffee and tea are available around the clock. Parking is in a Wash U garage directly across from the center. You have to pay (credit card) every time you leave the garage, which is a bit annoying, but the cost is modest and free on weekends. The Bear pub onsite is a nice place for a drink when open. We did not try the food there.

Very limited food options onsite. No vending machines even. Chef didnt show up to the restaurant one night, so no dinner could be served, only drinks.
