Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay

Convenient location that was close to everything we were doing over the weekend. The best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. The gentleman at the omelet/waffle station was fantastic. Like a magician tending to multiple orders all the while having a great sense of humor. We had a king suite that was rather spacious. Plenty of room to relax. Two nicely sized flat screen TV’s. The best part of the room was the bathroom. The vanity had two sinks and plenty of countertop space. A nice deep soaking tub w/ shower and a separate walk in shower with a cool digital shower control. The pool are looked nice and refreshing. However we never got to take advantage of area. The fitness center had plenty of exercise equipment wand was well maintained. Also a nice looking guest laundry facility. There is a spacious parking garage behind the hotel that had an enclosed access ramp from the garage to the hotel. There is a small parking fee ( I believe it was $6.00 per night) for Monday-Thursday nights and complimentary on Friday-Saturday nights. All of the staff we had contact with were extremely friendly and helpful. The commons were spotless. Housekeeping was by request and limited availability on Saturday morning. Something we have gotten used to in the post pandemic world. We have already booked another stay for a long weekend in November, 2023.

Front desk staff were super helpful and friendly throughout our 2 night stay. Room was very clean, large and comfortable, with a sitting room/kitchen area, a bedroom and a large bathroom with a shower and bathtub. The shower had both a fixed head and a handheld, and with digital controls we could set the temperature exactly where we wanted it. Everything in the room was clean, and it was easy to get more coffee and towels for the room when we needed them. Breakfast in their restaurant was included and we could choose from a fairly standard hotel buffet, and also order omelets and other hot food (eggs, waffles) to order. Their house made salsa was very good. The hotel’s main attraction for us was that it was a short walking distance to several good restaurants, and we were there celebrating a special occasion. There is also a lovely park (Shaw Park) nearby that connects to one of the St. Louis Greenways.

The staff was amazing! Our little kids were a little loud in the pool having so much fun and when we went to check out the staff asked us if we were the ones in the pool the night before. I answered yes expecting them to complain about them being rowdy but they just told us how nice it was to hear them enjoying themselves and how it made them so happy to see the kids having so much fun. The hotel was very nice and extremely clean but the staff was fantastic. So family friendly which isn't always easy to find!

Definitely recommend this place and will be staying there again. Everything was above and beyond what we expected. Other hotels need to learn from this one about the meaning of free continental breakfast. This is the only place we have stayed that has had a legitimate hot buffet style breakfast. They also make fresh cooked waffles and omelets to order.

We love the breakfast and the staff. It starts our day off with a smile and a full stomach. Parking is a little better now, but the entry via the alley was not available for the last few days of our stay as it looked like the arm was not working, so we had to turn around and go in on the other street.
