Review of the Sheraton City Center in St. Louis Missouri

By Chris Linch

The Sheraton City Center is located downtown in St. Louis, MO. It is a fantastic location for a hotel. The hotel also features an enormous pool as well as a sun deck where you can hang out on the top floor and go outside. The staff is incredibly friendly and they also have a bar and some restaurants.

First of all, the location. You couldn't find a better place to stay if you are wanting to stay down town St. Louis. This hotel is close to Union Station, which is an old rail station made into a shopping center. They have the Hard Rock Caf there as well as Landry's seafood. You are also within walking distance of Busch Stadium. If you are the gambling type the casino has a shuttle that will pick you up at the hotel.

The pool in this hotel is like none I have ever seen. They have an Olympic size pool on the 13th floor. This pool is huge. They also have a hot tub there. It is the largest interior swimming pool I have seen in a hotel in a lengthy time, and I stay in many of hotels.

The sun deck is an outside deck that has a view of downtown. It is also located on the 13th floor just outside the indoor pool. We sat up here and had a few drinks. It was such a relaxing area to go have a drink. We got to meet some really neat people out there while we were there.

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Honestly for the price I figured this would be a run of the mill, nicer hotel. This was not the case. I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel in Las Vegas. They treated you very well, and on top of that they were very knowledgeable about the area.

The Sheraton City center also has a bar that is open until one in the morning which is also unusual. Most hotel bars close very early. This was also a very nice bar, they had couches and nice tables. They also served food there which was excellent.

There is also a coffee shop and a bistro type sandwich shop if you are on the run. The coffee shop serves Starbuck's coffee. They also have some breakfast items and fruit which I did not get. There is plenty of room in this hotel for a wedding and or wedding reception.

If you need to stay downtown St. Louis Missouri I recommend the Sheraton City Center.
