My wife and I just returned from a mid-week overnight bicycle trip where we stayed at the Baker Hotel for one night. The rate was more than I originally wanted to spend but the hotel proved to be the highlight of our trip and well worth the money. Stepping into the lobby of the hotel feels like stepping back to...

I had been to Hotel Baker years ago for work, and hadn't been back until this past week for another company meeting. What a nice surprise! It was so clean and well kept; the food was amazing, and the service was unbelievable. A real gem. The service at our meeting was over the top good. Devin took care of us,... More

This hotel does have charm. There is a nice bar and the river view rooms have a nice view. However, the rooms are not really updated. There is a flat screen tv and tile in the bathroom but old carpet and furnishings. Rooms are also quite small. The price tag on the rooms are pretty high too. However, it is... More

Loved the historic Baker Hotel. It was very cozy and the staff all very friendly and helpful especially Georgeanne. The only issue was the very soft bed that needs a new mattress.

We stayed at the Hotel Baker on the 4th of July. They really have a great package that includes viewing the fireworks from their riverfront patio. It was our first stay and we were very pleased. The room was clean, spacious, and had so much character. The only real complaint was that they did not have a server or bar... More

I had a business trip and when I asked a friend about place to go and not to go she insisted I stay at the Hotel Baker even if it made my commute a bit longer. She was right on the money! This historic hotel was a fantastic place to stay. The town area around the hotel was very nice... More

I stayed at Hotel Baker for 7 days while in St. Charles regarding my profession. A great surprise is in store for anyone who selects Hotel Baker. Its like stepping back in time of the Grand Hotels - but a smaller version but warm and elegant. First class front desk folks, friendly and efficient bellmen, housekeepers are perfect. The bartenders... More

I recently was a bridesmaid in a wedding that took place at Hotel Baker. The best parts were the beautiful location along the river in the rose garden for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The hotel itself is very old and historic and that is neat. However the staff is dumb and uncooperative. Check in is at 4 and our... More

Enjoyable stay with down home midwest friendly staff. Definitely a must! St. Charles is a great community, voted #1 by FCM as the best town for families! Hotel Baker is right in the heart of downtown St. Charles, walking distance to pubs, shops and other restaurants. Noted weddings on premise - staff very attentive to guests' needs.

Had a wedding and wedding reception here as well as several rooms reserved/used during the event. Very disappointed at the service and treatment we received here. Many people at the event noticed a variety of things that were totally inappropriate for the hotel to be sticking their nose into. Our event, our money yet they felt they could control all... More
