Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel's Favourite
We had a good two night stay. The hotel is conveniently located for the things we wanted to see and do. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and on par with other Best Westerns. All in all it was a good stay and we would stay here again if we are in the area.

We travel extensively on road trips across the country with our small dog. We stay often at Best Western Hotels. This is a particularly good one if travelling with pets. It is clean and rooms on main floor allow easy access to outside. I was most impressed that they handed out dog cookies AND plastic gloves and pick up bags on checkin. The outside was clean of pet litter, a nice change from a lot of places that we stay.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Room was clean. Convenient location close to the highway. Tons of places to eat around. Breakfast offerings due to C-19 was coffee, juice, a hot breakfast sandwich and a "to go bag" with water, fruit, and granola bar. Looks like they were cleaning high touch areas often. Water pressure out of the shower head was an 8+ out of 10. Only issue was someone smoking on our floor. It was reported to the front desk and they took care of the situation. Outdoor pool was open and clean. Did not use the exercise room. Would stay there again.

Stayed here for three nights while visiting family in the Kirkwood area of St. Louis. Overall, the hotel is nice and clean though we had a couple small problems with the room--the toilet paper dispenser didn't work properly and the hair dryer didn't work at all. Cleaning service is on a request basis only with Covid. Also, you have to request clean towels as needed.
They have breakfast to go in a bag as well as individually wrapped breakfast sandwiches. The bags had a muffin, energy bar and piece of fruit. I wish the bags would have been marked with the fruit inside. We sometimes got an orange, sometimes an apple. Not sure if they offered bananas. I really liked the sausage biscuit sandwich.
I noticed that our final bill total was $10 more than what was quoted in our reservation confirmation. Not sure why that was. There was also a PGE tax added in to each day's room charge. It wasn't explained on the bill and I can't find anything on-line to explain it either. I'd be interested in staying at La Quinta just down Kirkwood Road sometime just to compare.

I was so excited for vacation, 9.5 hour drive. I just want to lay out in the nice weather by the pool. Wouldn't have to spend much money. We got there and people were swimming, went upstairs to change and by the time we got down stairs it was closed for sanitary reasons. Have to sit in hotel room for three days while its closed, not much to do without spending a lot of money. Just very disappointed. They said there was a pool down the road but it would have cost us $75 when we already paid the money for a hotel with a pool. Wish they had some type of back up plan like a deal with another hotel or the public pool. Just sucky luck I guess.
Rooms were ok, beds are average not very comfy.

And we again apologize that we were forced to close our outdoor pool. It was due to a hygiene incident and per Health Department regulations we are required to shock and then filter the 35,00 gallons of water in the pool 12 times. Consequently, this is a laborious process which takes 36 hours; but ensures the water is safe for our guests. We are sorry that the alternatives we offered were not acceptable. As a note, we did reach out to another hotel 4 blocks to our south, but found that their pool was closed for renovation. Our sincere apology for an inconvenience we could not anticipate.

St. Louis is one of my favorite places to visit for a mini getaway and I always stay at the Best Western Kirkwood. The location is great for things like the zoo, delicious food, and easy access to stores incase I need to pick up something I forgot to pack. The beds are comfy and the room is always clean. I was always a fan of their breakfast and was worried about how it would translate with COVID restrictions, but they had little grab and go bags with snacks as well as pre-made breakfast sandwiches.

Everything about this hotel was better than expected. I usually would not comment on decor but this was outstanding. There was a cohesive and artistic decor that makes you immediately feel like you are in a high end boutique hotel.
The front desk people had numerous people checking in a once and handled everything quickly and professionally, They were super helpful!
Our room was really nice and clean. I have Celiac's disease and cannot eat gluten. I brought some of my own gluten free food which I hoped to heat up there. They don't have an in room microwave but were awesome enough to let me use the breakfast area microwave. I really appreciated that.
The breakfast was really good. The attendant was always busy and focusing on cleaning and making sure everything was operating properly. She did a great job. I heard a table of older people being rude and sort of ordering her around and she handled it so well. She was helpful and friendly despite their bad manners,
I will for sure stay there again. The pics online do not do the place justice. The hotel was full when we were there - for a reason. Excellent room, atmosphere, and staff. They do it right here.

This hotel was conveniently located. Rooms were very clean and the employees were very friendly and eager to help if needed. The pool was clean and very nice. You saw them testing the water as well as furnishing towels and being sure there was some always available. They kept the pool area picked up from trash garbage and cigarette ashes.

Room was fine. Don't expect breakfast or friendly staff. We went down 30 minute's before it breakfast closed it was crazy busy. Just got coffee. The breakfast attendant actually cut in front of me,reached over and got got her some coffee, Said it was busy,better get me some now. Came back 15 minutes later hoping there was a table. There was no food left,ok fine. So I wait 10 minutes in the waffle
maker line,cause thats all there is. Get half a cup of waffle batter,ok fine. But then literally have the breakfast attendant tell me there are closing in five minutes I need to move. Im like ok,Ive been waiting here 10 minutes. Get my waffle and set down. There are probably 20 people in the seating area and the breakfast attendant comes out and yells at everyone its 9,you need to leave we needs to clean these table. Get your stuff and get out. For $243 a night,I can do better.

The hotel was nice and clean, the kids had fun in the outdoor pool. The big selling point is the staff. There was a mix-up when booking my 2 night stay(not their fault, the reservation hotline made things confusing). I called the location directly and the lady who answered the phone could not have been any nicer, and got the confusion solved immediately. When we arrived the guy at the front really rolled out the red carpet. He was very welcoming and made it feel like they had been expecting us(no long search for our reservation). When he saw us heading down to the pool after unpacking, he made sure to run a fresh stack of towels out to the pool and even dropped a small stack off at the table we were sitting at. It was like having a personal attendant.

21 years of age.
Yes. Our outdoor pool is open under occupancy restrictions.
Most indoor hotels and motels have adjoining rooms. You can check on the best western website.
The room we were in had a very small balcony; however, I recall one of the lights used to illuminate the exterior of the hotel shining in our direction, which made using the balcony at night impractical. I also believe there is sufficient room in the elevators for a wheelchair, though I do not believe the balconies are wide enough to allow for wheelchair access.
Yes, they do.
