This was our first stay at Embassy Suites (ES) - Bridgeton, Mo., and we were blown away. The place was recently re-decorated and is beautiful. Rooms are the typical spacious ones you get at ES. The complimentary hot breakfast was excellent, and two people stood out as great hosts, Donald the chef and Juanita the server. Omelets were great. The evening reception was wonderful as well with complimentary beer and well-drinks. We ordered food and sat at the bar, and it was awesome. Food was great and Brenda, the bartender, was fun and excellent. All in all, this is definitely a place we will stay at again during our next visit to St. Louis. Highly recommend it.

I stayed in a king suite with a sofa bed. It was quite nice and had plenty of room. There was a TV in both rooms and a mini bar in the living area. The bathroom was nIce and clean. The shower seemed okay, though it was a little small. One thing that was great was the shampoo and conditioner! This may sound wierd but it was SO nice! It was Crabtree and Evelyn. Anyway the hotel was overall pretty nice.

Driving cross country we decided to avoid downtown. This was a great stop. Just off the freeway. Modern, nice happy hour. Excellent breakfast. We had a disabled-accessible room. It was very well done. Lower sink, grab bars, seat in the shower, lower tub edge (they have roll-ins if you need them), and wide doorways. Very accommodating, and a friendly staff.

I arrived at this hotel at around 11:30pm on a cold Monday night in December and was prepared to immediately go to bed. However, when I went inside my room, the temperature was 54 degrees, according to the thermostat. I don't know if the heater was off since the hotel thought I was going to be a no-show, or the guest usually has to adjust the thermostat upon arrival. Regardless, I had quite a cold experience when jumping into bed and lying on the very cold mattress and sheets.

In terms of room quality, the suite was a little bit smaller than ones you'd find at the Embassy Suites downtown, but keep in mind the convenient proximity to the airport and the free self- parking that is available. From my experience, the price of a night at this location is also about 25% cheaper than the downtown location.

As usual for an Embassy suites, the free breakfast was really convenient. The omelette bar and hot food options were tasty, but I wish there were more fruit options available. All I remember seeing were grapefruits and whole apples.

Overall, I would probably recommend this hotel to other people, just get there with enough time to warm up the room first!
