"If you have pets,,,,,,,,,,,,,, don't stay here"
We have diamond status with BW. Because we were honest and included our pets upon check in we were given the worst room . My advice is to stay away from this awful hotel. Noise from the freeway and our door didn't lock.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon, and please accept our sincere apologies for not exceeding your expectations. We will work diligently to address these items. Thank you for bringing them to our attention. We sincerely hope your travel continued safely and send you our holiday wishes. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Good Stay"
This is a good hotel for an overnight visit. My flight landed approximately 6 hours late, so I needed a last minute hotel due to my late arrival. The hotel was very clean, affordable and comfortable. The hotel had a good complimentary breakfast, and it's located directly off interstate 44, which was very convenient. I recommend this hotel for an overnight stay.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and many thanks for your lovely review. We are so happy that you found our haven in the midst of what sounds like a chaotic travel day. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season. Our Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Dated but meets a need"
I'm giving this a 3 because the quality was lacking. The bathrooms were not updated with the rest of the hotel, the bed is not very comfortable and the furniture in the room looks old. However, the breakfast was nice, staff was friendly and it was conveniently located.

Thank you for your considered comments regarding your recent visit with us. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Kirkwood Stop"
This is second time stopping at this particular BW. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had pets and having a room on first floor with outside access was very helpful. I Plan on staying here everytime I stop in St Louis.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good morning, and thanks so much for reviewing your return visit. We're delighted all went well and appreciate the shout-out for our team. And we look forward to your return trips! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Kirkwood B W"
This rather large Best Western had an excellent room for us as requested on the first floor. It is located close to I-44 with easy access to in either direction. It is also in a shopping area that has many restaurants within walking distance. Internet and breakfast were great.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello there and we're sending our thanks for your wonderful comments about your recent stay. So happy you enjoyed your first floor room and the numerous amenities available. Safe travels and we hope you keep us in mind if you're ever in our neck of the woods again! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Convenient and comfortable"
This was a last minute stay. We checked in about 10pm and found the desk clerk very helpful. Room was clean; bathroom sparkling and well-stocked. Breakfast at 6am with plenty of foods both hot and cold. Good coffee. Adequate parking, convenient location near HWY 44.

Good Saturday Morning, and thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit. We appreciate your lovely comments and are delighted you found us! Should you find yourself in our area again, we'd welcome the opportunity to thank you personally! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"No, just NO"
Noisy, broken closet doors, mold behind the bed, filthy sliding window with no screen. Will not stay here again. I used to absolutely love staying at the Best Western chain even though it was more expensive, not anymore.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello, and please accept our sincere apologies for not providing you with a superior experience. We absolutely will do better. Cordially, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Never again"
This was the worst place we have ever stayed. I know there are a lot of great reviews but let me tell you, when I find cockroaches in my bathtub I'm done! I quietly went to the front desk to let them know and I was treated very poorly by the lady at the front desk. She looked at me like I had three heads and started questioning me about why I didn't report it the night before?? Well that's because I didn't find it until the morning I reported it. The hotel was very dated.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and we extend our sincere apologies for your experience at our property. This is not the type of customer service on which we pride ourselves and will take immediate action with our entire team on problem resolution. Again, we are truly sorry for this incident.

"As Good as a Best Western Plus"
We were pleasantly surprised at how nice this BW was, starting with the attractive lobby. Better than most BW Plus we have stayed at. Location was quiet considering how close it was the highway. Breakfast was typical, but was well stocked. Room was clean

"BW Plus Plus - very nice"
Had an excellent stay at this BW Plus . The hotel is more classy than most BW's and we travel a lot. I found the customer service was very as well the location. To our surprise there was even a Chili's restaurant built onto the hotel in a manner where you don't even need to leave the hotel . It was great especially after a long day on driving. The room was very clean and found the breakfast to be very good. I would stay here again if in passing through again.

"No complaints! Great place to stay"
We were skeptical about staying here, based on some reviews written recently. However, I have to say that we really enjoyed our stay. We stayed for one night, Saturday, September 17-we were going to see A Chorus Line at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center, and this was the perfect location-only 1.2 miles away. The staff at the desk were very inviting and helpful when we checked in, and also at various times when we had questions. Our room was clean, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, and my husband was impressed with the antislip coating on the tub-a great added amenity. We saw the afternoon show, and returned to the hotel to swim-the sun had gone down and it was chilly, but refreshing after our long day. We also went to Chili's for dinner, conveniently attached to the hotel-no need to move the car! We were very concerned about the breakfast situation, given the number of bad comments about it. I was impressed by the breakfast-plenty of options to choose from, and very well maintained by the breakfast hostess (I did not get her hame, but thanked her for the great job.) There is a 24 hour fitness center, but we did not use it. If staying in the area again, I would certainly return. Thanks for a great stay!
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning to our Naperville, IL friends...Thankyou for taking the time to review your recent visit. We appreciate your complimentary comments about our hotel and our team. It sounds like you enjoyed the production at our new Kirkwood Performing Arts center. We hope you keep us in mind should you return to our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Not satisfied as compared with previous stay at this location."
First of all, I find it very amazing how I arrived 10 minutes early to check in and the lady informed me there were no rooms available to check in, then suddenly her shift is over at 3 and BAM just like that I am available to check in. WOW! Second, the internet SUCKS! I tried using three different devices and none of them could get a decent connection. Third, I am bald. There were long hairs EVERYWHERE in the bed and the bathroom. I didn't even use the shower because I was afraid it wasn't even cleaned. Fourth, I was 'conveniently' placed between one room which had several small children who don't know how to use their inside voices and were screaming all the time. And the other room had a small ankle biter mutt that wouldn't shut the hell up. I did walk to the Chili's on site and drank myself to sleep. I stayed here a year ago and thought it would be nice to return to this location, nah, next year I'm staying somewhere else.

Good Morning Eric. As with our response to your brand survey, please accept our apologies for not providing you with an enjoyable stay. We will use your comments to address those areas you described and improve. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"So Close to 5 Stars"
We really wanted to give this hotel 5 stars, but questionable cleanliness prevented that. Out of the several hotels we stayed in on our recent road trip, this one had the most amenities but was also the least clean. There was a long trail of very gross dried brown liquid running down most of the wall, as well as some spider webs that had clearly been there awhile. It was shocking to see that housekeeping hadn't cleaned that stuff and it made us question how clean the rest of the room was. A couple other minor issues… the bathroom was so small you couldn't stand at the sink with the door open. And it was disappointing that there was no microwave. But there were many positives: very friendly staff; quick, easy check-in; nice, large, comfortable rooms; a Chili's restaurant inside the hotel; a Dunkin' right in the parking lot; and both a Target and Walmart within easy walking distance near the parking lot. There were also plenty of restaurants very near the hotel. Overall, other than the cleanliness issue, this hotel was fantastic. We'd recommend it, but we'd like to see more attention to detail when it comes to cleaning. -The PowerTrippers
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Power Trippers, We will be working hard to restore your faith in our cleanliness. Thank you for letting us know where we can improve. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Stay at Another Hotel "
In fairness, the front staff were friendly, beds & pillows were comfortable. The bathrooms were not friendly to the AARP crowd. The toilets were down too low. There were no grab Bars in the bath tub - DANGEROUS! We came for breakfast at 8:45 and everything was depleted! Staff were working but did nothing to fix the hot foods on the line. The electrical plugs on the lamps were worn out & were useless for charging our electronics & phones. Upgrades are needed NOW. I'll pick another hotel next time I'm in town.

Good Evening, and we want to apologize for not exceeding your expectations. We will work to thoroughly address and correct the items you've noted. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great staff"
I have stayed at this hotel a few time over the past couple of years. The staff is always friendly & helpful, and the lobby, breakfast area, and pool are well kept and welcoming. The rooms are well set up and clean but are in need of an update. The bed, bedding, and carpet are getting a bit worn.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for reviewing your recent stay with us. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

Great foods options, Arbys, Chilis, Texas Roadhouse, Sonic, plus more! Close to Target, Walmart, Lowes, Homegoods, Hobby Lobby & more! We felt safe, hotel quiet, clean. We would recommend & stay again!

"Nice facility, room needed lots of improvements."
Common areas of facility are nice... but the room that we were in needed improvements. We were on the 6th (top) floor, and the room should have been remodeled 5 years ago. The carpet was stained, the A/C unit was dirty and appeared to have mold/mildew on it, the bathroom tub was either dirty or stained on the bottom, the bathroom light fixture was starting to rust, and the cover for the bathroom vent fan was only held on by one screw, and was trying to fall off of the wall. The comfort for the mattresses were fair and they appeared to be older (not pillow tops). Just a thorough and deep cleaning of the room would have made a big difference. Maybe rooms on the lower floors are better, and have already been improved/remodeled? The breakfast area is fine, but is much too small for a six story motel. It had too many tables in it, and it was tight and crowded. Food selection was good, but food started to run out as early at 8am. Outdoor pool was still open as of mid-September. Was fine but a bit chilly as summer comes to an end. Front desk service was excellent.

"Quick in and out right off the freeway, and comfortable rooms for taking care of business."

"Don't expect staff to be friendly,because they are not."
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.

"Staff was awesome"
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.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
We agree! We have a fantastic group of folks who truly embrace hospitality. Thanks so much for commenting on this. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and hope you keep us in mind should you return to the St. Louis area. Our Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

"Needs renovation."
Disappointed in the shape of the hotel. Elevator is so small that the luggage cart and one person can fit in the elevator. 4 persons max! Staff is friendly. Sad to have used my points for this establishment. This should be an $89 dollar per night establishment. I will be staying elsewhere in the future.

"Excellent"
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.

Reservations for ground floor room. Had to have second floor room but air conditioning was not working. Moved to the 6th floor looking down at Chili's restaurant roof and smelled chili's all night. I have leg pain hard for me to walk. No help on moving.

"Pool closed"
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.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
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.

"An Oasis of COOL in a Heat Wave"
We checked into this property to escape the 88 degree temperature in our nearby home which had lost cooling because of a broken a/c. The front desk staff was welcoming and helped us get checked in quickly to a room that met all of our requests (It was 9:30 PM!). They were so very caring and professional. The room was very clean, quiet and COOL. Breakfast the next morning was plentiful and fresh (no brown bananas!) Every staff member was friendly , the public areas are clean and attractive. We managed to get through this heat crisis with the help of this Best Western! Thank you!

"Dingy"
The hotel seemed clean until we got to our room. There were dark splatters under the bathroom sink. The side tables and lamps were sticky like a soda had exploded. I would not recommend staying there if you like a clean room.

"Good location but poor management"
Quoted rate in the morning when we called had increased 20% by the time we arrived. We had spoken to the front desk early that morning who assured us rooms would be available. We didn't reserve ahead because of the long distance and we weren't sure of arriving that day. No manager available to speak to when we arrived or the next day even though we were told she'd be available at 8am the next day when we checked out. We left a couple of messages over the next 2 days for Cynthia but she didn't return our call. When we reached her 3 days later she was abrupt, unfriendly and unhelpful, and said she had never gotten our messages. We had trouble with our room during our stay too. The lock didn't work on the door and the television system was incomprehensible. Front desk staff— two young men were helpful. Breakfast lady was great. But I wouldn't recommend this hotel due to poor customer service and attitude of management.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Evening, and thank you for expressing your concerns. As we explained, we honor rates booked. Since you did not reserve under the quoted rate plan, I am sorry the rate you were quoted was not available when you arrived to walk-in. And I also apologize that I did not sufficiently explain my schedule when we spoke. Sincerely, Cynthia Brasseur

"Great Stay & Great Breakfast"
We were here only 1 night, but had a great stay. Room was clean and Quiet and an average sized room. Well maintained. There was a Refrigerator as well. Great breakfast- What made it so nice were the 2 ladies who worked their butts off keeping everything filled, clean & hot. One was named Ms. Sharon. Both were nice ladies. The other lady who replenished the food checked to see if anyone still there needed anything more, even after breakfast time was up, I thought that was really nice. Eggs, sausage, make your own waffles, ceral, biscuits & gravy, variety of muffins & breads, potatoes, fruit. Lots of drink options.

"Love the location and hospitality"
I use Best Western every time I come to visit my daughter who attends Webster University. So I am here 4 times a school year. It is close to the campus and close to shops and restaurants. Besides the Chile's restaurant on site- there is a Donkin Donut in the parking lot attached to the property. I could walk to many places if I didn't want to drive- Lowe's . It is perfect for me.

Hello...we appreciate your continued business - thank you for your lovely review! Lowe's gets quite a bump from university parents visiting :-). We look forward to your next visit to your daughter. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Very nice Best Western"
The hotel is very nice and artsy. I was impressed with the decorating My son loved the hot breakfast with a sausage egg dish, sausages, biscuits and gravy, waffles, yogurt, and great coffee among other things. It is from 6:00-9:00 but get there early. It gets packed with procrastinators about 8:30 a.m. The employees were very nice. One thing I found unique is that the ground floor rooms had sliding doors from the room to the outside. If I were traveling with a pet, I would love that. There is a great Walmart and other stores right in the shopping area. Plus, a Dunkin Donuts is feet away. This hotel has a bar and restaurant in it. It was a very convenient location. The only downside that might make me think twice is the wi-fi was the worst I have had traveling.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Jen, and many thanks for taking the time to review your recent visit. We appreciate your lovely comments and will absolutely research and address the spotty Wi-Fi issue you experienced - our sincere apologies for that. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"I will for sure stay here again - top notch!"
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.

Good Morning Kelly, and thanks from our heart for your wonderful review of our hotel, our team and your stay.

"GREAT LOCATION, PET FRIENDLY"
I travel with my dog so "pet friendly" is a must. The hotel is clean and appears to be updated. Right in the middle of a shopping area surrounded by restaurants. A Target, Walmart, Texas Road House, and Dunkin Donuts (plus others) are in the same complex. You can get room service from Chili's, which is attached to the hotel. For those traveling with dogs, the first floor has sliding glass doors on the back side of the room so you can walk your fur buddy on grass, and not have to go down the hallway or use the elevators. But make sure you note that there is a $30 surcharge PER NIGHT for your pet. It's posted on the web site but it caught me by surprise. Another plus: If you can't take your pet with you to some activities during your stay and don't want to leave them in the room all day, there is an excellent doggy daycare called No Leash Needed that's less than a half mile away.

"Exceptional Service!!"
Highly recommend this location after our stay! Everything from check in (front desk staff exceptional) to check out was wonderful. Room very clean. Bed comfortable. Great location within walking distance to several restaurants. Noise level for a Saturday night was minimal even with several groups of kids.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and many thanks for your lovely review, especially your shout-out for our front desk team. We absolutely agree with you! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and your valued recommendation. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellent"
Clean rooms, kind and pleasant staff, walkable distance to local amenities. Made error with my booking but staff was kind enough to make adjustments without any fuss- really appreciate it- thank you to the staff, whoever she was.

Good Morning, and many thanks for your lovely review of your stay. We appreciate the shout-out for our team and hope you keep us in mind should you return to our area. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Clean room"
Always clean rooms by Fast friendly service Priced a little high but overall a nice hotel. Plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance Large room with plenty of amenities. Water pressure a little low in shower I never liked low flow shower heads. You can't save water if your in the shower twice as long just to wash the soap off!!!
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning! Thank you for your lovely comments about you stay. We pride ourselves on our product quality and guest service and your review drives that home. We don't however have low flow showerheads, so if you could reach out to me offline and let me know the room you occupied we can get this issue addressed immediately. Our Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Watch out for being double charged"
Be alert if your company has prepaid your room fee. The front desk guy tried to tell me he needed my credit card because the room had only been "held", not paired for. I had a confirmation number, and receipt on my phone from my travel department, and it wasn't until then that he gave up trying to get my card.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings Mr. Budig. Thank you for your review of your recent stay. To clarify the circumstances of your reservation, your company reserved your room using a credit card to guarantee your arrival. Arrangements were not made in advance to use that account to charge your stay, and the stay was not pre-paid. I hope this clarifies this issue. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur
"Good location, Great stay"
This hotel is very clean. Front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. Room was clean, bed was good, heater in the room was a bit too warm even though i turned it down to 60. Breakfast buffet was really good. They had a employee there sanitizing the tables as people left. There also is a Chili's resturant attached to the hotel. You can go there to eat or they will deliver to your room if you like. Several other good places to eat close by.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Happy Saturday Morning Cobra! We all extend our thanks for your lovely review. Our team truly enjoys what we do and is delighted that it shows. Best wishes in the new year. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Jan 14, 2022"
A great stay, close to just about anything you need, im in construction and even lowes was right next door, restaurants were right there, the interstate was easy access, good breakfast, clean rooms, hot shower, easy check in and out
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Morning Bryan! We all were delighted with your comments and great review. Thanks so much. We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us and hope you'll keep us in mind for any future projects in our area. Best in 2022, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellent hotel"
Clean hotel, friendly staff, excellent location average breakfast for a hotel but the breakfast staff lady was extremely nice! Overall we had a very pleasant stay. Hotel beds could improve but not the worst.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good morning and thank you for submitting your review regarding your recent stay. We wish you the very best in 2022. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Very nice older hotel but well-maintained and comfortable"
A Chili's restaurant inside the hotel was a great convenience. The breakfast area was large and well-supplied with a full-time attendant. Lots of good choices both hot and cold. Electrical outlets not abundant but adequate. Refrigerator in the room had a freezer. The desk clerk was very helpful. A connecting door between our 2 rooms was a nice convenience.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Morning Chris! We were delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your lovely comments and we wish you and your family the warmest holiday wishes. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"One night"
The first room we were given had a cup on the floor and food in the refrigerator. The clerk had no problem giving us another room. The mattresses could be turned. Seemed to have a noticeable dip on one side.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good morning and thank you for your constructive comments about your recent stay. Our sincere apologies for the housekeeping oversight you experienced. We have since addressed this with our team and can assure you better attention will be paid before a room is released for rental. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Well appointed room"
We were pleased to have a sofa in the room so we could relax and watch television. Unfortunately, our preferred television selections were not available. A restaurant that is attached to the hotel is a plus.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and thank you very much for your lovely review. Sending you the very best holiday wishes. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellent service"
This BW is a very well managed operation. Clean and tastefully appointed rooms are standard. Staff is very courteous and skilled. Breakfast good staff, food quality, and physical setting best I have experienced in several years. Centrally located and close to good restaurants.

Morning Brian, and thanks from the heart for the lovely review of your stay and our team. You've made our collective day! We love what we do and are delighted it shows. Best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Overnight stay"
This hotel served the purpose very well for quick overnight. Clean, convenient to highway but quiet inside. Desk staff friendly at check in. As with most hotel free breakfasts, too short a time frame and too crowded.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and thank you for reviewing your recent stay. We appreciate your compliments and instructive feedback. Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great Hotel"
Hotel was clean and bed was comfortable. Everything was working in the room. The staff was great. Check-in and check-out were fast. There was plenty parking spaces. If we're that way again we would definitely stay there.

Good Morning, and thanks for making our collective day with your wonderful review. We're just delighted that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your future visits, hopefully! Gobble-Gobble, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"It's Kirkwood"
Not a lot of options in this area, which is too bad. We've stayed here over the years when visiting family. The staff are always great, however overall upkeep can use some work. Grounds around front are full of butts, there was a smell in the halls and rust stains in sinks. Small things however not what we we accustomed to dealing with.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and thankyou for your constructive comments. We work hard to provide a high product quality and will ensure the items you mentioned are addressed immediately. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice but not great"
the bathroom was not as clean as it should have been. The breakfast area in my opinion should be open until 10am. The restaurant was short staffed and the wait was 20 minutes with few people dining . Some complained the rooms were not cleaned. It is stated when you check in, if you want service call the night before.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning David, Thank you for your constructive comments regarding your recent stay. We appreciate your feedback to help us address areas that need improvement. We vow to do better. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great Stay"
Clean and comfortable and very accommodating staff. Stayed due to a wedding. Staff (from Alex who took my reservation, all the way through every person we encountered) was friendly and helpful. Room was very quiet, though we knew we had the potential for a lot of noise on our floor.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

"Needs a deep clean"
Hotel needs a deep clean. There was build up around edge of sink and showers. Tile grout in bathroom was black in some places and light gray in others showing how filthy the floor was. Friends in the room next to us had mold in their vent. We got a discounted “group” rate and I would never pay even the discounted rate to stay here. The remodel that was done looks fine, but totally lacking on cleansliness.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings. Thank you for responding to our brand survey as well as TripAdvisor with your comments, and again, please accept our sincere apologies. We vow to do better and hope you will offer us the opportunity to demonstrate this should you return to our area. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Friendly front desk"
All the front desk personnel were friendly. Rooms clean. Cleaning staff very friendly also. I asked for supplies and was given right away. It was nice to have breakfast served. There are restaurants close by to eat.

Good Afternoon Judy, and thanks very much for your lovely comments about your stay and our team! We're very happy you enjoyed yourself and hope you will keep us in mind on any future visits to our area. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Dirty Bathroom Floor"
This was my favorite hotel in SW St. Louis. But I will probably not go back. My foot was a little damp after taking my socks off. When I got into the shower, dirt washed out from under my foot. Later, I took a damp wash cloth and wiped the bathroom floor. It was pitifully dirty. In the morning when I asked for fresh towels for the second night the sitting housekeeping foreman in the room across the hall begrudgingly got up took the old towels and handed me one bath towel and two towels for the floor.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Dan, We extend our most sincere apologies for this housekeeping oversight. This is not the level of product quality that we take pride in, and can assure you this will be addressed immediately. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope you will provide us with the opportunity to regain your confidence in us. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice Hotel"
I was pleasantly surprised how nice this hotel was. the lobby was very cute I would have given it a 5 but was not impressed with the mattress or pillows. The breakfast was ok, nothing special. Van's was a nice place to have a drink, very reasonable for a hotel bar.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great service and pet friendly"
Staff was super friendly and helpful when we checked in. We were traveling with our 2 dogs and they gave us a pet friendly room on the main floor with a patio door. They even gave us dog treats. Rooms were very clean and had all the amenities you would need. Breakfast had lots of hot and cold options. Hotel was close to a lot of shops and restaurants.

"Clean, quiet, great location"
We've stayed here several times before and we're always happy! The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean. The breakfast is also great, they have a god variety! We also appreciated the high chair they have available. We got a good night's sleep and did not hear much noise at all, even though the parking lot was full. The location is a great home base for our STL adventures! We will be back!

"Staff exceeded all expectations"
No matter what life threw at them - at work or at home this staff keeps on rising above. THEY are the very reason I stay here. And these have been challenging times for this staff, this group and this location and still I felt safe & cared for. All while being totally appalled at the behaviour of many of the other guests. This staff was letting horrible things roll off their back, smiling and treating all so very well. BW should be so proud !!!
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Dear Anne - We are simply overwhelmed with gratitude for your lovely comments. Your recognition means so much, and we thank you from the heart. Our team leads from the heart, and we are so glad it shows. Our Very Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"wonderful except the bed"
It is kind of important that the bed be at least comfortable. Mine was horrible. While every other items could be checked off as excellent the bed hurt.. The springs dug into me and I woke up in pain. Not an auspicious stay..
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Helen. Thank you for completing your brand survey as well as commenting on Trip Advisor. Our sincere apologies for the discomfort you experienced. We have checked the mattress in the room you occupied and will replace immediately. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great pool experience."
Overall, the hotel was nice. Decor is nice. Breakfast area had good selections. We goofed and ate at Chili's before we checked in. Check in first - then you get a 10% discount on your bill. Our only complaint was the bathroom. Towels are hidden behind the door, and you need to be a contortionist to get the toilet paper. We were traveling with kids and were very pleased with the pool area. And, best thing ever, the hotel had floaties and rings for guest use! Never ran into that anywhere else. What a great idea!

"Incredible staff and Clean"
Stayed because power went out at my parents house in Kirkwood. Easy last minute check in with Robert, who seems to enjoy and care about his job! Woman running the breakfast was also amazing and helpful! Bathroom was small but I will definitely stay there next time I visit my parents!
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

"No WiFi"
There was no WiFi for the 3 nights we were there. We called their 800 number 3 times trying to fix it and it still didn't work. The front desk didn't seem very interested in helping solve our problem.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon, Please accept our sincere apologies. We will liaise with our support company to determine why your connectivity issue wasn't resolved. We hope you will offer us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of service on your next visit to our area. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great employees"
The hotel itself is very nice. Clean and comfortable. But the employees that work there are their best asset. They had amazing customer service with myself and everyone else that I heard them helping during check in. I have not experienced that in a long time and they deserve to be recognized.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Taylor...don't know if you heard the college roar of our team when I shared your comments this morning, but it was accompanied by grins and whistles! Thanks so very much for recognizing our folks who truly enjoy interacting with our guests. We promise to keep up the good work! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Fabulous Hotel!"
The hotel was clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. They did an amazing job considering the labor crisis that our government has created. I hope all you travelers are showing kindness and grace to these people in service who are doing their best on a skeleton crew. Hotels that must follow franchise and government restrictions that are out of their control.

"The location of the hotel is perfect for those traveling. The appearance both exterior and interior was extremely clean"

"Great exterior, Great Lobby…bring a dehumidifier!!"
Last minute work trip to St. Louis , booked a room at best western. Checking was pleasant, but upon arriving into room, the humidity was high even though AC was on. Nothing worse than feeling sticky even though temp is 70 degrees inside

Good Afternoon. Please accept our apologies for the excess humidity in your room. Would you please reach out to me at cindy@pmihotels.com with the room number of the room you occupied so we may inspect the unit? Many Thanks, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Good Night's Stay"
This Best Western met all of our expectations - reasonably priced, clean, and located close to Grant Farm and the U.S. Grant National Historic Site. The grab and go breakfast was not ideal, but otherwise a solid choice.

Very convenient location in between a large amount of restaurants and stores. Short drive to the Zoo, Aquarium, or other attractions. Clean hotel and nice looking outside. Dunkin' Donuts directly next door if the complimentary breakfast doesn't do it for you.

"FRIENDLY STAFF AWAITS YOU"
Always a pleasant stay and great location! However, the mattresses are very in need of updating, as well as the toilets are so low / close to the floor it is extremely not user friendly for seniors, or people with physical issues. Each year we hope those issues would be corrected, but have not.

Hello! Thank you for your suggestions. We appreciate your shout-out for our wonderful group of hospitality professionals. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great hotel"
We chose this hotel as it was close to a friend's house we were visiting. The kids had fun in the outdoor pool. There is an Applebee's on site. Breakfast had a sausage biscuit, waffles or yogurt. Also had to go bags. Room was clean & quiet. Elevators were so, we used the stairs. Wal-mart right behind the hotel.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Tricia, Your review made us all delighted. So glad you enjoyed your visit! Hope you keep us in mind for any future visits to our area. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI [ P.S. Just to clarify for future travelers who might read your review - our restaurant is Chili's Bar & Grill :-) ]
"Go elsewhere if you can"
Rooms dirty, fridge broken, no microwave, no blankets in room at all. Resteraunt food was terrible and overpriced, beds terribly uncomfortable. Hard ridge on outside of bed along with lumpy and uncomfortable mattresses which were filthy. Previous pets marked the chairs and were not cleaned. Used syringes, glass, toddler used potty chair in pet area, lots of drug activities and people hanging out in cars. Not safe for the elderly and pet owners need to be accountable. Aggressive Dogs not leashed, German Shepard (obviously above the 50# policy) allowed to bark and jump at our patio door 2 and 4 am, and that owner did not pick up droppings. Drug dealers and smell of marijuana was overpowering and had to place towels behind door
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning. Please allow to me to apologize on behalf of our entire team for your less than satisfactory stay. Your comments have been reviewed with our entire team at this morning's stand-up and I can assure you that immediate improvement is taking place. We hope you will give us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of customer service and product quality on your next visit to our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Just average"
Should not have to ask for rooms to be cleaned. Found cigarette butts on the deck of our room - it was a no smoking room. Was also beer bottle tops in the sliding door frame. Bedding smelled of cigarettes, and when we asked to have the bedding changes the clerk complained.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and our most sincere apologies for the state you found your room at check-in. This is not at all indicative of our housekeeping practices.

"Great stay while passing through the area"
Lovely hotel, great check in experience, and nice breakfast considering the Covid restrictions. Nice that there was a bar and restaruant attached, so we didn't have to get back in the car after we parked it. :)

"Worst stay ever"
The only reason I'm not giving this a 1-star review is because the front desk clerk was very pleasant and helpful. We literally did not stop hearing other people in all directions (both sides, above and in the hallways) until after 2am. The walls are paper thin. Kids were running around screaming and stomping like it was a daycare. People were in the halls acting like it was their house. Im not sure if this was an isolated incident but the restaurant I visited next door in the morning also had the rudest staff and the food was so awful, we threw half of it out. In a positive note, the beds were comfortable.
Cindy Brasseur, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Evening. Please accept our most sincere apologies for the noise issues during your stay. Please let me assure you that this is indeed an isolated incident. We appreciate your noting that our front desk associate was cordial and professional, and that our beds were comfortable. We hope that you will offer us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of service on your next trip to our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Mixed Bag"
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.

Good Afternoon, and thank you for reviewing your recent stay. We appreciate your comments and will address those areas you mentioned. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Would stay here again!"
The staff was always nice and friendly greeting us when we left and returned. Room was very clean. The only issue was the guest next-door had dogs locked in the bathroom that kept us awake. The water to the toilet was also turned off (easy fix) The location I was awesome! Very close to restaurants and shopping.

Good Morning, and thanks for your review and shout-out for our team. We love what we do and are glad it shows! We're sorry you had to play plumber though.

"St Louis"
It is right in the middle of a shopping center which makes everything so accessible. The room was so convenient for my cat. The room was clean and I had a quiet night. The only suggestion would be to place a sign for the pet area.

"Kindest staff we ever encountered"
The staff at this hotel is the best. We were greeted everytime we were in the lobby by all staff members. They were kind and accommodating going above and beyond. Having a Chili's in the hotel was awesome and their staff was also amazing. We will be back if in the area again.

"Where I Like to Stay!!"
The Best Western inn Kirkwood is my favorite place to stay in St. Louis. It has a wonderful pool, close to shopping and lot of restaurants! The internet was fast and I love the gym! The Chili's near the hotel wasn't serving the public due to Covid-19, but they brought orders to our room!! The staff is exceptional and very accommodating!
"Clean, Comfy, and Courteous"
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.

"Did a good job considering"
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.

"Best spot around "
My husband and I spent two nights at this wonderful hotel. The desk clerk was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. The room was spacious and had the usual amenities. EVERYONE was “Masked Up” for COVID-safety. Due to COVID breakfast was a grab and go sack that contained granola bar, pastry, banana, and water. You could ask the attendant on kitchen dry for a hot Bacon and Egg biscuit sandwich , as well as getting a yogurt and coffee/juice. The location can't be beat! Many eating and shopping establishments surround the hotel within walking distance. You can also take advantage of 10%off at the connecting Chili's restaurant for showing your room key/card. We would most DEFINITELY stay here again when visiting St.Louis.

Good morning, and we so appreciate your review and complimentary comments about your stay with us. Thank you! We hope your continued trip was safe and look forward to your return to our area. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Very pleased."
We recently stayed at Best Western Kirkwood Inn while searching for an apartment in St. Louis. We were hesitant traveling during pandemic however felt very safe and appreciate all the precautions this Best Western location were taking. The breakfast was made to go and the woman was wonderful. Thanks for a great short stay. Found apartment! Mission accomplished!

Fantastic news on your successful apartment search! We're delighted we could provide you a so-called "port in the storm". Thanks so much for your lovely comments. Keep us in mind when you have friends & family visit you in your new digs. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great stay and location"
The beds were the best! It was a great nights sleep. We needed a late check-out and they allowed without any complication. I loved the location. Shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and accomidating. Would definetly recommend this hotel.

"Great place great people!!"
I love this place!! The people are always super friendly, always asking if they can do anything for you, always smiling!! The place is clean - always clean. We stay there every time we are in St Louis. Even now, when the virus has dampened a lot of peoples' spirits - they are still smiling and up beat. They do everything they can to ensure a peaceful stay. The amenities in the area are also great!! Restaurant in the hotel, and many others close by. Close to the interstate, but not too close - you don't hear much traffic at all. Close to shopping - from the big retailers (Wal Mart Home Goods Lowes etc) to the mom and pop shops right down the street. Like I said - this place is awesome!!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon Brenda! Wow - you've made our collective day with your wonderful review - thank you! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your continued business.

"A good evening"
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.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and thank you for your lovely comments about your recent stay. We are so pleased that you found our pet friendly hotel to be enjoyable. We hope that you have the opportunity to visit again. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

"Pleasantly Surprised!"
I can't remember the last time I stayed at a Best Western hotel, but it's been a very long time. At first, I was kind of disheartened to learn that this was our best option for our recent trip to the St. Louis area, but the reviews were promising so I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. I'm so glad I did! This hotel is conveniently located among loads of shopping and dining options, with quick access to I-44. The hotel has been recently renovated and is very stylish for a budget hotel. Our room was very spacious and clean, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. We all slept very soundly. I really feel like they have gone above and beyond to make their guests comfortable and to alter the reputation of this budget-line hotel chain. I will definitely give Best Western a second look the next time I am booking a business trip or quick vacation. Pros: The staff were super friendly and helpful The lobby was beautifully appointed Beds were very comfy The complimentary breakfast was more than adequate I loved the blue uplighting on the exterior! Cons: The Elevator -- When they renovated this hotel, the completely ignored the elevator. I don't know how old this hotel is, but the last elevator I saw that was this small, was in a 100+-year old hotel in Washington DC! The luggage cart barely fit into the elevator and only one or two people could ride with the cart at a time. The Bathroom -- While the shower/tub and actual sink looked new -- and were very clean! -- the bathroom is extremely small and cramped. Furthermore, the counter space is very limited and appears to made of very dated-looking formica. Honestly, our double-queen room was so spacious, I really feel like the architects/designers missed an opportunity here. They could have easily borrowed another foot from the main portion of the room to make the bathroom feel larger and to provide more counter space. And who uses formica anymore?? Overall, we were all pleasantly surprised with our stay at this location and would definitely recommend it if you are visiting the Kirkwood or Webster Groves neighborhoods of St. Louis. I have a whole new respect for the Best Western hotel line and even joined their loyalty program in anticipation of staying with them again.

My husband and I have stayed here twice in the past six months. The lady at the desk is always very friendly and helpful. The motel is very clean and there is a walkway to the nearby restaurant, making it very convenient to have dinner. They have a very nice breakfast with a good variety. I would highly recommend this hotel!

"Moving Across Country"
A very courteous and clean stop on my first stop moving across country. Moving with two animals, of which I do not usually travel with pets. Gave my dog a biscuit and wished me luck on my move. Room was very clean and they gave me a room with a door to the outside so I could easily accommodate my needs.

"Fairly good stay"
Stay was mostly good for the one night we needed. However, our tub/shower had many issues. The water was way too hot and hard to adjust. We did call in a maintenance person who attempted to help us with it. I ended up taking a bath rather than a shower because it wasn't draining well either. It took a while for the tub to finally drain also. Other than those issues the stay was ok.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings - and please accept our sincere apologies for the difficulty experienced regulating the water temperature. We have since had our chief engineer address this issue. We appreciate your bringing this important quality issue to our attention. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

"Very Good (In every way)"
Had a one night stayover here. Choose this hotel based on TripAdvisor Reviews and for its convenient location. This Best Western operates as a class leader in its segment. From the moment we checked in the front desk associate was friendly and helpful with our local to the area questions. The room was modern, clean, and most importantly, comfortable. We liked the fact that their was a restaurant on site so that we did not have to get back into our vehicle to search for a meal. Very happy with out stay here in every way.

"Quiet and nice"
For the location I was expecting it to be a very loud uncomfortable night. It was the opposite, there's plenty around and it was extremely quiet! I slept great, which I don't usually say when I sleep at a hotel. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area

Poor breakfast choices. Too many sugary options plain white bread. blah Bad coffee. Poor wi-fi connection. Why don't motels clean air vents? The staff was very friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. Shower head would not stay in highest position. Kept slipping down

"Allergy Friendly"
As a family of 5 with food allergies (milk, nut, and egg), we are weary of many places. After our first stay at Best Western Kirkwood, however, we were at ease. Their continental breakfast has a variety of option, which accommodates all of our family's needs. Additionally, this location is wonderful. It has a Walmart and Target basically on the same parking lot. If you need something other than the continental breakfast to eat, there are numerous restaurants within walking distance, or a short drive away. As far as things to do, this location is roughly 20 minutes from Downtown St. Louis, Six Flags, Hidden Valley Ski Resort, Top Golf, movie theaters, and shopping malls. This has been, and will remain, our go-to hotel for the St. Louis area.

"Visiting St. Louis"
Our stay at this Best Western couldn't have been better. Close to area family and many restaurants. The complimentary breakfast offered several selections of tasty food items and beverages. A Chili's connected to the building was a plus. Also a bar for anyone wanting an alcoholic beverage.

Beautiful, clean hotel with a friendly helpful staff. Beds were very comfortable, clean modern rooms. Breakfast looked good for a hotel breakfast but we didn't eat there as we were visiting family. Close to everything, about a 20 minute drive to downtown. 10% off at two restaurants close by and within walking distance to a Walmart, Target and Dunkin Donuts. Highly recommend!

"below expectations"
No microwave in the room. Only microwave was in a darkened breakfast room. Had to find the light switch for 2 grade school girls who were trying to use it to pop popcorn. The staff would not help. No hot coffee or hot water for tea available 24/7 in the lobby. The machine was locked. I asked the front desk about it and was told to get hot water from the facet in the bathroom of my room. Really? Will not recommend this hotel to anyone nor will I ever go back.

"Personal Service WOW"
Robert and his best western team at the Kirkwood, Mo, location have repeatedly gone above and beyond to make this visit incredible for us! When my husband was greeted by name at check in at 10:15pm and our family had prearranged amenities to accommodate our daughter's wheelchair such as a first floor room, and a shower seat to make bathing easier we were relieved and so grateful! When they gave us a generous voucher for a discount at a local restaurant, we were thankful! Beyond that when Robert found out we were here to visit St Louis Children's Hospital and that Anna's birthday is tomorrow, we came back from dinner to a birthday gift at the door! Her very own pink Christmas Tree and a coloring kit, along with a handwritten card... we were absolutely stunned... the personal way we've been treated here is unparalleled to any service we've ever received from a hotel, ever. This hotel is NOT near the hospital, we only booked with best western because we enjoyed our stay in Valdosta, Ga to and from Florida. Prior to that, this brand was not on our radar. Then they sent us a free night, after Valdosta, we thought why not use it in St Louis and booked three nights. Now, I doubt we would even consider another brand. Our room was clean, comfortable and met all of our needs! Phenomenal, personalized service... wow!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and we thank you for sharing your WOW moment with fellow travelers. We delight in celebrating the special occasions of our guests.

Great Hotel at a great price ! Hot breakfast included ! This Hotel is located in a good location, close to major freeway and so much shopping and dining nearby.

"Nice hotel outside of St Louis"
We stayed here 2 nights when we visited St. Louis. We choose this location because, besides touring downtown St .Louis, we were also visiting a friend who lived outside of the city. I was a little concerned about the commute into St. Louis, but it was fairly easy and there was ample parking downtown. The hotel is near a highway, which made it convenient. The hotel was very nice, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast had many hot and cold choices. The only issue involved a confusion with our reservation. I had made it by telephone to the 800 Best Western number, because only one of the two nights was with points. So it had to be two separate reservations, with a memo to the hotel to make sure both would be for the same room. We checked in during the evening, and the clerk on duty seemed to be unclear of the situation. But it was all resolved in the morning by the helpful daytime staff. I would definitely recommend this hotel as a good value with an easy 20-25 minute drive into St. Louis.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings and thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay. And many thanks for your loyalty to our brand. Please accept our sincere apologies for the confusion regarding your point redemption.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope that you will keep us in mind should you return to our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

That's a great question - we can't think of anyone, that's why we offer both on our breakfast menu! Thank you for the wonderful review and we look forward to your future visits while your daughter attends Webster University.

"Best Western (Kirkwood)"
I am very pleased with my stay at this Best Western. The room was nice and clean, the service desk employees were nice and helpful, and the check in and out process was extremely fast. The bar on sight was a nice addition for a couple of drinks before heading to the room. The location is great as well, close to many restaurants, stores, and it was right off of the highway. The only knock for my stay was the internet service. It was very slow and sometimes I could not even connect to it. This was a minor issue for me since I was only there for a night, but it would be a problem if you needed the internet for your stay. Overall, it was a great experience and I would stay there again.

This is a newer property, and it is very nice. It's a bit more modern in the room layout and my room had a balcony that was also nice. The hotel is in walking distance to a nice shopping area, and the old town Kirkwood area. It's a very clean and cool little community to walk around in. Lots of specialty shops and such.

"Great location"
Great location for visitors to Kirkwood, etc, on the SW side of St. Louis Lots of restaurants nearby, too. There's a Chili's in the same building (not gourmet, of course, but adequate for a once-er). Liked the layout and decor of the motel, and the room. The breakfast was average at best, but normal for chain motels these days.

"On the way to Branson"
Freshly remodeled and very modern. The bead was a little soft for my taste. The breakfast was typical Best Western however they did not light the burners under the hotel pans so the Food was just barely warm. I would stay there again.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings and thank you for your review. We appreciate your comments and will work immediately on the heating elements in our breakfast. We're delighted to read that you would stay with us in the future. We look forward to your visit. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Best Western Kirkwood - Great Hotel"
Stayed at the Best Western Kirkwood before going to a baseball game. Hotel was very nice. Hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable. A short trip down to the Metrolink made it easy to get around and the hotel staff had a great "cheat sheet" showing various St Louis attractions. Hotel was clean, easy to get to.

Hi Bill, We;re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Many thanks for the shout-out for our team, for they are the secret to our success! Should return for the play-off's (we're thinking positively at this point), please keep us in mind. Go Cardinals :-) Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Clean, wonderful breakfast, budget friendly for a family with kids."
Clean rooms, breakfast was plentiful (they even had a different main entree each of the two mornings we were there), and budget friendly. For staying two weeknights, our total was just shy of $220 including taxes. I"d be hard pressed to find better value! For coffee drinkers like my wife, a Dunkin' Donuts is right next door in the parking lot. Travel to downtown St. Louis from the hotel was straight and easy; commute was only about 20 minutes. My family is a family of five with three younger kids (ages 4 - 9). Because of them, I am more careful in my lodging selections as opposed to my bachelor days. This place fit the bill perfectly. Only drawback was no pool for my kids in the evening - there is only an outdoor pool and it opens Memorial Day, which a week or two after our stay. I will seek out this hotel for any future visits to St. Louis.

"Our stay"
This is a great place to stay. The front desk is very friendly, rooms are clean and I found the beds to be comfortable. We have stayed there before and would stay there again. It is a good location, close to shopping and restaurants. Breakfast is great.

"Better than some plus BW's"
This is a great hotel in a great location. So many restaurants within a short walk. I would recommend the Texas Roadhouse. The rooms are clean and comfortable, very spacious. It is also nice to have an opening balcony for some fresh air. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.

"Fantastic"
I work at a BWP in Kentucky and needed a place to stay for a mini vacation. Me and my friends were very pleased with out stay. The room was clean and the service was fantastic all throughout. The lady that was working breakfast was super sweet. All of the front desk staff was really nice. However during third shift I called the front desk to request a few things and the guy at the desk seemed a little panicked and asked if I could come to the desk to get them which was not an issue. The breakfast was fantastic and the chilis was super convenient. The location itself was super convenient with everything that was around it. Overall our stay was great and most definitely will stay here if in st louis again.

"Trip"
This is a very nice hotel very clean and easy on and off highway. We had to be at airport at 530 so very convenient. Will stay again staff very helpful getting checked in. I love that there is a chillies inside hotel in bad weather wouldn't have to leave to eat. Vans Tavern very nice too

"Wonderful!!"
We stayed here Labor Day weekend. Although we couldn't check in until 3:00, the rest of the visit was excellent. The room was comfortable and was cleaned daily like clock work. Free breakfast was satisfying (eggs, bacon, potatoes, waffles, fruit, breads, cereal, etc). We went swimming in the outdoor pool. Towels were provided. The front desk staff were very friendly! We enjoyed the location of the hotel and a big plus was having a Chili's Restaurant attached to it. We stayed on the second floor which was the same level as breakfast and Chili's. We would definitely stay here again.

We requested a pack n play be set up before we arrived as we travels with little ones. Most hotels don't complete this request for whatever reason. They did this for us and with little ones it is so helpful. They were great!

"Great spot to stay "
Nice clean hotel with friendly staff. The breakfast was typical of any hotel breakfast that is included with the price. The breakfast area is a little small, so get there early. It's convenient to I-44 and about 20 minute easy drive downtown. Plenty of fast food restaurants around the area, and Walmart and Target right behind it. Would stay here again

"Nice little outdoor pool"
This hotel is conveniently located and has a nice little outdoor pool - hard to find in cooler climates! Our room was clean and spacious and the free breakfast was similar to other Best Westerns. Be sure to check out the beautiful rustic wooden art pieces in the lobby!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

"Convenient location"
Located in West central St Louis, close to Interstates. Parking was easy and available. Check in was pleasant. Pool was very clean. Outdoor pool, not indoor. Continental breakfast. Closes at 10:00, however, things wind down about 9:30 and no interest to refill things as they run out, so don't wait. No microwave in the room. Fridge in room about the size of a small cooler. Clock radio alarm was set for 6:00 wake up, I guess I should have double checked. I could have given 5 stars but asked for a late checkout after spending four nites at the hotel. The front desk said they are on a first come first serve basis and I would have to come to the front desk in the morning to ask for the later checkout. I asked, "doesn't that defeat the purpose?" Next morning I went to the front desk to ask for a later checkout and waited 6 minutes before leaving while the front desk was on the phone.

"Nice Hotel"
Stayed here one night, and would come back. The bed was very, very comfortable, and nice linens. The room was large with a balcony. Was super clean. The desk staff are great at their jobs and nice people. They greet you with a smile. The location is perfect. The sausage that is served for breakfast was really good. Clean and well kept pool. Again loved the bed.

"Long drive from Texas to Canada"
The staff was so welcoming, I arrived tired and grumpy 10 hours into my trip! The desk clerk went out of his way to make check-in smooth quick and hassle free. The room was spotless and comfortable, I had originally booked this room at a lower price but had to make a last minute change so the price went up but it was still within what I expected to pay. I was treated so well by the staff that the few extra dollars I paid was well spent!

"A nice getaway"
I loved having the outdoor pool. It was clean and well kept. The desk guys were awesome when checking in. I would recommend this hotel because of where it is at. The only thing is that there are not microwaves in the rooms.

"VERY pleasant stay for the cost!"
When planning a family mini-vacation for St. Louis, I wanted to find a hotel with free parking, free wi-fi and a complementary breakfast. Best Western Kirkwood Inn fit the bill, with my only error being my mistaking the children's wading pool for a hot tub. (Oops.) Our room was clean and comfortable all around - bed is a little soft, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing. The kids made ample use of the pool, and I ventured in once; this, too, was well maintained (though I could have lived without one guest drinking a beer while in the pool, though she did so carefully). There were a few guests who were making quite a bit of noise in the hallway shortly after we checked in; however, this quickly died down, and we all slept soundly the two nights we were there, without any further issues. Of the three of us, I was the only person to take advantage of the continental breakfast each morning. The selections were good and plentiful, even when the room was near capacity the second morning. The only suggestion I would make would be to offer real pads of butter in addition to the vegetable-based spread, as some of us do not like margarine. Location-wise, this is THE spot to be. There are plenty of choices for fast food within a very short walking distance, as well as a Walmart and a Target in case you forgot something you needed on your trip. Since we wanted to try restaurants we can't find close to home, we didn't dine at the Chili's attached to the hotel, but that, too, is a nice option. There are also lots of great places to eat and shop within a very short drive, and you're only about 12 miles away from downtown St. Louis. Without a doubt, I would not hesitate staying here again. For the value and amenities offered, it was an excellent choice of hotel, and is highly recommended.

"Business trip"
The hotel is fine overall and the breakfast is sufficient for a complimentary breakfast. Coffee is important to me so a coffee dispensing machine doesn't produce a good cup of coffee. Thankfully there is a Dunkin' Donuts next door. I'd stay here again in a pinch but it wouldn't be my first choice.

"great place to stay"
with a restaurant attached you can stay and not have to leave the property to dine and rest which make a stay enjoyable. not having to travel to dine is tops. but if you desire to dine elsewhere there are several other options in the area within walking distance. very clean and quite motel just off Hwy. 44

"Nice Hotel"
Very nice hotel with good amenities. My only complaint is when I called directly to book my room I was quoted rates which were quite different when I check out. I received my confirmation email prior to arriving and when I checked out my total increased even more. The front desk manager (Andrea) was very curt about it and was unwilling to provide an explanation. Her attitude was this is what it is, I'm right and you are wrong. She left a bad taste in our mouth when we left and because of her we probably will not stay here again.

"Nice hotel"
The night we checked in the front desk man, younger guy, sorry not good at remembering names, went above and beyond checking us in and explained where everything was. He made us feel welcomed, would stay there again. Room was very clean, staff was really nice but woke up with a sore back from the indentations in the mattress.

"Bed bugs"
Apparently the rooms are not as clean as it would appear at first inspection. We always look under the sheets when first entering the room. We are paranoid of bed bugs. We did not see any, but the day we left the hotel we noticed several bites on our bodies. And for the next couple days more bites showed up. Bed bug bites can take a week to actually appear. I called the hotel to report it. They said "No one else has complained." Wait until the next people stay in Room 402. I bet they will complain. But maybe not until they are leaving... depending on how long they stay. We did not bring anything into the house when we got home. We undressed in the garage and put our clothes immediately into the washer at high temp. We had our truck vacuumed and steam cleaned. We are throwing our suit cases away and purchasing new ones. We also complained to the corporate office via online customer service. It has been over a week since we filed the complaint. We have heard nothing. That's why I am filling this review. People need to be made aware of the problem. They say bed bugs are horrible if you let them get into your home.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Dear Mr. Logsdon, We have responded to you personally, with information that a professional inspection of room 402 did not find evidence of insects/bed bugs. Thank you for reaching out to us on this issue. Cynthia Brasseur General Manager

"Nice hotel after a long drive"
We stopped here after a long drive. The rooms were quiet, bed was comfortable. A bonus was having a Chili's attached to this hotel. We have gone to Chili's many times in our home state so we know what kind of food this had and it was good (and VERY convenient!) The staff was nice and breakfast was about the usual for hotels, it had a little bit of everything.

"Nice hotel"
We liked the hotel. The complimentary breakfast could be better. Do not care for hard scrambled eggs. Was disappointed when I went there to get coffee one afternoon and find they "lock it up" after breakfast. Luckily we had coffee in the room - I was just hoping for regular cream (the reason I went to the little kitchen area) instead of the powdered stuff. Everyone was very nice. I like that you can walk thru the hotel to Chili's. It was raining a LOT when we were there, so one evening we just trekked to Chili's. Also, for latte fans, there's a Dunkin' Donuts in the parking lot, and a little further across the parking lot is White Castle and Wal-Mart. Very conveniently located. Would definitely stay there again.

"Worst Staff EVER"
I stayed at this hotel because I was in town for a funeral of one of my family members. I had an issue where I was locked out of my phone so I asked one of the staff members if they could help me. The bravo female at the desk said she didn't know anything about any phone and brushed me off to a girl, Heather, who treated me like a was complete trash or something and declined to help me as well. I was pretty upset about how the staff members had no heart to even step in to try. I couldn't even stay the last night in the hotel because I was so embarrassed by their behavior.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Tabytha. I am sorry that the assistance we attempted to give you with your IPhone was unsuccessful.

"Best Western Stay"
Seamless stay, helpful employees and overall great stay the check in was easy and because of my wife's limited mobility we requested a first floor room and got it.

"A Great Stay"
Two couples are traveling together for a week. Our first stop was the Kirkwood Best Western. We were scheduled to spend three nights here. What a great beginning!! We wanted to be outside of St. Louis but convenient to the area. This is the right place. We started by wanting to go to a Card's game. Only about a 14 minute drive. Very convenient to our trip to Hannibal the next day. OK we checked in on Saturday afternoon. We were greeted by a friendly staff first thing. After getting our rooms, Robert found us an extra cart to take both couples stuff to our rooms. The rooms were clean, good size and surprisingly quite even though there were several types of guests, graduation parties, youth baseball and families. We got down to the buffet rather late on Sunday morning, but it was still well stocked with the usual stuff. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. A great place to stay.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and many thanks for your wonderful review. So glad we were your first stop and that you enjoyed your stay. Hope the rest of your journey was equally awesome. Please keep us in mind in any future visits to our area. Best Wishes, Best Western Kirkwood Inn
"Amazing!"
I am always a little weary to stay at a BW hotel and I dont know why. This hotel was great. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast was great and even though it was busy, the workers kept all the food fresh and stocked. Its also in walking distance to restaurants and shopping. If ever in this area again, I would definitely rebook this hotel.

"great place"
it was an overall great place to stay- just be careful and don't leave anything in your room unattended. Money from my 5 year old granddaughter's wallet was missing as were 3 packs of cigarettes- A small thing and I would recommend this hotel for families too- I hated that it marred an otherwise wonderful stay- we even left swim suits and the staff are mailing them back to us. All in all everyone was super friendly.

"Another flawless Best Western"
Feel like a broken record every time I review a Best Western motel; they're all very good, some great. This is one of the great ones! I look for some of the minor conveniences that travelers need, like enough luggage racks to handle a travelling couple's suitcases, working coffee pots with supplies adequate to satisfy a morning need, ice availability, and so forth. BW hardly ever lets us down in this regard, and this Motel was no exception. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the room was immaculate, everything worked perfectly, and it was located very convenienctly near the highway and a variety of restaurants. Thanks again, BW!

"Overnight stay on the way to Springfield"
This hotel is in a great location very close to the highway with easy on and off. The rooms were very clean and the staff was exceptional. They have a lounge attached where you can get drinks after a long drive and the bartender Jay was very nice and makes some very nice drinks. They also have a restaurant attached so you don't even need to get into the car. They have a breakfast buffet in the morning which was very nice and the woman running it were very nice and helpful. We will be remembering this one when we are traveling through St. Louis.

"Best hotel in the area"
The hotel is easy on and off the Interstate. The rooms are large and very clean. The staff is friendly and courteous. There is plenty of parking with good lighting. A Chili's restaurant is attached from the second floor.As to the rooms, the shower has plenty of water pressure but the bathroom itself is a little small. There are more channels available on the TV than I have ever seen in a hotel. The location has plenty of shopping within walking distance. It is one of the best Best Western hotel I have stayed.

"Try to avoid staying in this hotel"
Rooms are very dirty. Beds were "made" without even moving our pillows. Wet used towels were not even removed from a bathroom floor. Noisy air conditioner that cannot be adjusted. When we asked to change the room the answer was "we are full".
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings. Please allow me to express my sincere apology on behalf of our entire team. We endeavor to provide the absolute best in product quality and customer service and we obviously did not do so with your stay. I assure you that we will take immediate steps to rectify this issue. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur
"Great stay"
Came to visit family. The hotel is centrally located to all highways and major streets. It was clean and the employees were all friendly and helpful. They have restaurants attached and nearby. It is also close to shopping. We will stay here again on our next visit to St. Louis.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
And we look forward to your future visit! Don't forget your swimsuits - our beautiful pool opens this weekend. Thank you for your lovely comments. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"BEST HOTEL"
I love this hotel! Every time in St. Louis, I stay here. It's close to great places restaurants. The beds are comfortable and large. I love the breakfast! The coffee is hot and fresh, and the food is great!

"Great stay"
This is a very clean hotel with staff that are very friendly and could not do enough to help you. There is a very good restaurant attached. The bar is very friendly too. One of my favourite hotels on our route 66 tour and I would recommend you stay here. Robert at reception was particularly helpful.

Thanks for the kudos, and especially the shout-out for Robert! Our team is the secret sauce of our success. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay on your Route 66 trip. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Graduation Celebration in St Louis"
We have had the pleasure of visiting St Louis three times while our daughter-in-law has been studying here. This was our first local hotel experience. We chose Best Western because we are rewards members and previous positive experiences with the hotel chain. We were not disappointed. A full breakfast buffet was included, room service was attentive, front desk staff friendly. We'll be back. Now that she has graduated we don't know when we'll be back in St Louis, but we'll book BW when we can.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for your lovely comments, and congratulations on your daughter-in-law's graduation! We very much appreciate your loyalty to our Best Western brand. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

If U want top class service and a friendly atmosphere you need to visit this Best Western. The best hotel experience I ever had and I have been to many hotels and motels and this topped them all. Thanks Best Western for a AWESOME EVENING.

Woot-Woot! Thanks so much for your wonderful review...we appreciate your feedback and kudos. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Visit"
We were very satisfied with our stay here last night. Staff was friendly. I would definitely consider staying here again. I wasn't able to eat breakfast due to having surgery but my friend enjoyed it.

"Best Mother's Day Vacation Ever"
The Kirkwood Inn by Best Western Is quite beautiful! It is clean and quiet. Robert made sure all of my check-in request were granted! Any place you want to eat is at your finger tips! There is a Chili's on the 2nd floor. Walmart, Target, Ross, Chipotele, White Castle, Canes Chicken and a cast of others are basically on the parking lot even a Texas Road House and a Dunkin Donut! WWWOOOWWWW!!!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
We are celebrating your wonderful review this morning - thank you! And Robert deserves a shout-out for his fantastic guest service. Happy Belated Mother's Day! Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great location to see a lot"
In general, this is a nice hotel with very courteous and capable staff. The breakfast is standard hotel fare. The room was nice, but the bathroom was small. If you're a couple or more, it is only good for one person at a time with one sink. The best part is its proximity to I44 and easy access to so many sites in St. Louis. If we go back, we will stay here.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Morning Ron, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us. We truly appreciate the shout-out for our team, who are genuinely invested in friendliness and customer service. We look forward to your future visit. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice place"
Must be recently refurbed. Rooms very clean, beds comfy. Nice breakfast, plenty of parking. Close to Walmart, Target, Dunkin and many others. Just off I44 West. Attached to a Chili's restaurant. No indoor pool or hot tub though ☹️.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for reviewing your recent stay with us. We did indeed just complete an entire modernization project and delight in our new cool Euro vibe! And stay tuned, our outdoor pool opens in a couple of weeks. We hope you keep us in mind on your next visit to our area. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Good Choice"
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and everything was perfect, the room was clean and so was the toilet.The property is well kept. They have large space of free public parking around the propriety and pretty good quality wifi. We've asked for an upper floor an so they gave us an upper floor room. Really a great experience, for sure I'll come back.
"Puts the BEST in Best Western!"
I always stay in Best Westerns, but this one is by far the BEST. From the minute I walked in, I felt like the staff was genuinely happy to have me there. Andrea from the desk even remembered me from my last stay! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I took my three little ones to breakfast, and the workers were quick to help me out from high chairs, to food, to clean up. The staff is super sweet and the faculty is just as wonderful! I will ONLY stay in the hotel when I come to the St. Louis area.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Margaret, We are truly honored by your comments. Thank you for the shout-out for Andrea and our other team members - for they are the heart of our hotel and contribute to our success. We're delighted you and your family enjoyed your stay and we can't wait to see you again. Warmly, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellent location, great staff!"
We (parents with three young children) stayed here while visiting friends in St Louis- omg we couldn't have asked for more: staff was extremely personable and friendly, rooms and common areas were clean and well-kept, the hotel's free breakfast was AMAZING! They had eggs, pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage... our six year old said that breakfast (not the party, swimming, or zoo we did in StL) was his favorite part of vacation. I strongly recommend this hotel- it's gonna be our spot for return visits to the area. Has lots of shopping and restaurants walking distance. One hundred thumbs up!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hey JacksDad :-) We are beyond the moon with your extraordinary review - thanks so much for sharing your experience! Your comments help other travelers with their lodging decision and we truly appreciate it. And we are honored that our breakfast placed higher than the STL Zoo in area attractions! We look forward to your future visit. Our Very Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

"Disgusted!!!"
Unfortunately, I have to say I was very disappointed in this hotel. From the front desk clerk to the room I stayed in, I was completely disgusted but also disturbed. At first checking in initially the clerk was distracted and seemed overwhelmed. Once checked in and given our room key I hit the room to discover my bed was horribly disgusting. With a UV light I was able to see my sheets and bedding were most definitely dirty (stained all over with bodily fluids), the bathroom showed urine all over the floor, toilet and wall behind the toilet as well. I went down to the front desk immediately to ask for my bedding to be changed and the clerk told me "I can get you bedding and you change it yourself", another clerk stepped in to say there was a housekeeper still there and they could send her up. She came up thirty minutes later, apologized and seen for herself the bodily fluids (which were visibly shaped in the form of Male and female genitalia) that were on the sheets visible with the UV light, she only changed the fitted sheet, 2 flat sheets and pillowcases and left the same comforter and mattress cover. Completely appalling to say the least!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Kristen, Our sincere apologies for your disappointing experience while our guest. We will use your comments as a training exercise for our team. We strive to provide the absolute best in product quality and customer service and will ensure improvement in both of these areas. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Not just Pet Friendly"
Immediately knew I had booked the right hotel when greeted at the front desk. Dog treats and poop bags along with a first floor room with a sliding glass door. Genuine welcome from the front desk attendant, Robert, who actually looked happy to be in the business of hospitality. Too often the first impression at the front desk is disappointing. The Chili's partners with the hotel to provide delivery right to my door. This was so helpful and easy. All that was required of me was to relax.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good morning, and many thanks for your lovely comments about your recent stay with us. We delight in welcoming our furry-friend guests! And we appreciate the shout-out for Robert at our front desk. We hope you keep us in mind for any future visits to our area. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice and clean. Convenient to highway"
Overall the hotel was a nice place to stay. Good value for money. Room and hotel were clean and attractive. Shower was great with mounted hand held shower. Towels were fine, not as nice as higher end hotels. Bed linens were nice, but bed had hard sides with soft inside. Sitting on side of bed was awkward. The king bed had 5 small pillows. Both bedside lamps had 2 outlets. Great for charging phones. I like that there was a nightstand on both sides of bed. My breakfast was good: eggs, potatoes, bacon. Other items available like biscuits and gravy, fruit, etc. Close to Magic House. Great place to take kids. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. I would stay here again. We have family in St Louis, so we visit several times a year.

Good Morning, and thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. We appreciate your comments and look forward to again being of service when you visit family. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Modern decor, top notch clean and service oriented. Comfortable and Quiet!"
We stayed for a full week to attend family and friend functions. The beds were the best ever. Stark white linens and divine pillows. A full hot breakfast bar plus fruit and yogurt. Location central to routes in all directions. We will book again next year for our annual visit.

"Perfect Weekend Getaway"
I chose to stay here based on the high recommendation by a friend. She was right! This place rocks! Its immaculately clean. I would not have hesitated to take a bath in the tub because it looked brand new. The room was flawless and looked just like the pictures. The Front Desk staff was engaged at every opportunity. Breakfast was more than I expected with lots of yogurt enhancements and waffle topping options. The on-site pub was very convenient for meeting up with old friends. We would stay again in the future and will recommend this place to everyone traveling to the area.

"Best Western Kirkwood"
Our son goes to Webster University in St. Louis and every time we visit, we stay at the Best Western Kirkwood. From the front desk staff to the breakfast buffet folks we receive excellent service. The hotel accommodations are very nice and it is conveniently located. I highly recommend you consider a stya there.

"Great Stay"
From reception to exit, we were so impressed with Best Western Kirkwood Inn. The welcoming front desk, well decorated and clean room, fine dining, full breakfast, USA Today newspaper, express check out, all exceeded our expectations. Trying to think of a reason to return to this facility. It was top flight.

Woot-Woot! You've made our day - thank you. We hope you come up with a great reason to return. Warmly, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Reunions weekend"
I would never recommend this less than average hotel to anyone. They overcharged us for the stay and when we got our bill found out we had been charged for three rooms for no-shows. Obviously we had shown because we also had charges for the three rooms we had. We have had an ongoing 6-month dispute and the representative at Visa told us to report them to Best Western international. The Visa representative said she had never talked to a manager who was so unprofessional and so rude. Please save yourself the headache and go anywhere else.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Jean, I am sorry that we find ourselves at odds on the circumstances regarding your multiple reservations. As I have relayed in our numerous conversations, we assured you we would respond promptly and with full documentation required by your credit card company, and we have done so.

"Good place for a good nights sleep."
Stopped here as the midway point on a long road trip. Beds were very comfortable, service was great. We weren't here for long, but it was the perfect place to recharge before we got back on the road. Clean, comfortable, great.

"Clean room and nice staff but crowded area"
The hotel was nice and the rooms were good. The hotel staff was very friendly! And the pet friendly rooms with the sliding doors to the outside was super useful. But the hotel sits in a busy area with restaurants/bars nearby. There was someone parked outside our room passed out in their vehicle that made us very uncomfortable. He would come to every now and then and stare at us as we could come and go from the sliding door to walk the dogs and load our car up. I will probably look somewhere quieter next time I come to the area as I did not feel safe, but the hotel itself was lovely just could use a little more security.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Ali, and thank you for reviewing your recent stay and your lovely comments about our team and hotel. I hope you alerted our front desk of the incident you described, for we act immediately on any and all safety & security issues. We hope you will reconsider staying with us in the future.

"Moderate property with first class hospitality"
From the desk clerks at check in to check out this is an excellent value. Better than average complementary breakfast and a great little locals type lounge, I enjoy staying at this motel. The beds are good and the rooms have new paint, carpet and faucets, as well as being clean. Also a wonderful location near Interstate 44 with several excellent restaurants close by like Citizen Kane's for steak and Twisted Tree for batter fried lobster. Plus good shopping at Stein Mart and TJ Max. Oh Boy!

"Bed very uncomfortable"
Room smelled of cigarettes. Neighbor was loud. All on a Wednesday night. No security. Police came to property. No complimentary soft drinks. Bed was old. Tv was old. Bad water pressure. Towels were cheap.
"Elaine's thoughts"
Breakfast was a good variety. Noise was down to a quiet level. Staff were friendly at check in and check out. We were given express check out which made it nice not to have to stand in line to check out. There were also restaurants on the sight if we didn't want to go out to get something to eat.

"Worn out"
Mattress was very very worn. Not very comfortable. It was decently clean. Housekeeping came pounding at 9 am and talking loud in the hall on their cell phones while vacuuming. Room was fine. Had fridge but no microwave. Location was the best part of the hotel. Quiet and comfort were not priorities.

If the internet worked on my phone or laptop I would have been way happier. I couldn't even load gmail and wasn't able to get any work done in the hotel room. Location close to plenty of stores, restaurants, and gas right of 44 headed North to St. Louis, MO.

"Great Quality for the Price"
The hotel was what we have come to know Best Western for. It included a pretty basic hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, waffles, pancakes, etc, and even though we went down late for breakfast at 9:40 (breakfast ended at 10), the food was still hot and tasted pretty good. Our flight came in late and so we didn't get to the hotel until 1:45 am and yet the check-in was ready and easy. The check out bill came through the door and was there early in the morning. The staff was great at both check-in and check-out and the hotel was in a very convenient spot near the freeways. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone to stay here. Great spot, great price.

"We were impressed"
First the bad....the room refrigerator and heater were very noisy-even when the heater was off the fan still ran. On a main Street, but noise was a minimum. Now the good...very clean and well kept hotel. The staff was friendly and attentive at the front desk. The rooms were clean and welcoming. Having so many places to eat was a plus. We were surprised to see motorcycle parking up front, and when we return to MO we will absolutely stay here.

A spotless, well-run hotel featuring friendly, helpful staff at every turn.

All offered at an excellent value, right off the freeway. Plenty of restaurants close at hand.

"Not For A Light Sleeper"
Staff were generally very pleasant and courteous. This hotel is in a busy area with a road running directly to the north of it and a highway about 0.5 mile south. We were on the 6th floor on the south side, which is one of the quietest rooms. Unfortunately, you can still hear the highway, motorbikes going up the hill on the highway at 2;30am....not conducive to a restful night. The room smelled of sweaty feet. The bathroom is small although the room was large? The bed was comfortable, as were the pillows. The toilet tissue and the facial tissues could only be described as 'prison issue'. (I think the bean counters are cutting too many corners in that area). Also, the rooms have individual heaters mounted through the walls. The heater 'klonked' on and off all night as the thermostat kicked in and out. It was so noisy we turned it off. Unfortunately, the room went cold quickly and with only one spare blanket it was a choice between being kept awake by being cold, or the noisy heater. Subsequently, it took our request for an extra blanket 3 nights to be fulfilled. In the week the breakfast room was OK, but Sunday morning was zoo and there were insufficient seats and tables. We gave up and went to Starbucks. Saturday night there was a party going on on the 6th floor, people loudly talking in the corridor and going from room to room banging doors shut. Overall if I stay in the area again I will look for a hotel in a quieter area. The number one reason you stay at a hotel is to get some sleep, this Hotel failed on the count in many respects.
"clean and friendly"
Hotel was clean and staff was very friendly. Great variety for breakfast. Bed and pillows were comfy. Chilies Restaurant was attached. Lots of places near by. My family had a great time on New Years!!

"Great hotel with a reasonable rate."
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. My rate was very reasonable, especially in the STL area so I wasn't sure what to expect. This is a great hotel in a great location, lots of restaurants and stores nearby (walking distance). The breakfast was much better than most free breakfasts and included waffles, pancakes, breakfast burritos, oatmeal with toppings, along with all the usuals like yogurt and baked goods. Décor is great and looks as if the whole hotel has been recently remodeled in a very pleasing style. It was also surprisingly quiet in the room. I definitely recommend this Best Western.

"Easy, quick, exactly what you'd expect!"

"Great experience"
There was a mix up on our reservations. Micheal was at the desk, and he was so helpful. He was able to get us a great room and cancel the other date. Was a wonderful experience. Would recommend this hotel to anyone in the Kirkwood area. They have a great breakfast.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Dear Carol, Thanks so much for the shout-out for Michael at our front desk! We're so very glad he was able to sort out your reservation and that you enjoyed your stay with us. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great one night stay"
Staff is very attentive.Got an AARP discount and another discount for dinner at the attached Chili's restaurant. Breakfast was more than adequate. Definite improvement from my last stay at a different hotel in Kirkwood.

Good Morning - and we are delighted you found your stay with us to be enjoyable. Thank you for your lovely comments! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"WONDERFUL STAY!"
There were 3 of us (adults) at our stay at the Best Western and we had 2 queen beds. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean. Yes, the bathroom was a little small however I would rather have the room bigger than the bathroom because you usually spend more time in the room than the bathroom. There is a Chili's on the premise and they also have their own bar on the second floor of the hotel. If you show your room key you receive a 10% discount at Chili's and the hotel gives you a coupon for 10% off at Texas Roadhouse which is also close by. The bar at the hotel was a little expensive however it was very convenient and we didn't have to go outside in the cold/rainy weather. The breakfast was also very good and not only do they serve waffles they also serve pancakes! They have a big selection of food for breakfast. A wonderful stay and we definitely had a nice restful evening.

Hi Karen...did you hear the cheer emanate from our hotel upon reading your review? We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and so appreciate your observations and lovely comments. We hope you will keep us in mind should your travels bring you back to the St. Louis area. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Best place to stay whil visiting Kirkwood."
Super friendly and efficient staff, clean, large rooms, really good free breakfast and great location. On top of that, you are in walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Nice local bar on premises.
"The worst manager in the business"
We were overcharged for our reservation and to make it worse we were charged a no show charge after we had stayed for 3 nights. The financial person never returned our calls and after having requested to speak to the manager, received the rudest treatment we have ever experienced. We reported it to our credit card company and that person received the same very unprofessional treatment. She suggested that we report the incident to the corporate office which we proceeded to do. We had stayed at this location numerous times. However, we will seek other accommodations the next time we visit the area.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Jean. Thank you for your comments. As you are aware, we immediately addressed adjusting your rate to reflect the group discount during your October stay. Our billing representative spoke with you on several occasions regarding your additional charges. She, as well as I assured you that we will promptly respond to any inquiries originating from your credit card company regarding these charges. Cordially, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Everything fine but the bathroom"
The staff members were great, and helpful. The room was nice, but the bathroom was very small, and we did not get an accessible shower as I requested. They lent us a plastic shower bench which was awkward to use. It's hard enough to get around on a walker, without your accommodations being difficult too.

"The dog friendly rooms are mistake"
I have a hypoallergenic dog, because I am allergic to "normal" breed of dogs. I was given a room friendly dog, but had difficulty breathing inside. Thank God it was only 1 night. Not sure, how they use the $30 dog fee, but the room wasn't cleaned from the previous quests. The mattress was 20-30 years old, very, very uncomfortable. Heating device, very old and very noisy as well. The hotel got 9 out of 10 in reviews, so we chose this one, We travel frequently, and usually choose La Quinta, which is much, much better and doesn't charge any pet fee, but it wasn't available that night. Maybe other rooms are fine, but #118 was terrible. This was my first experience with Best Western, and probably last.

Greetings. Since we have already communicated via another review site, again, we again extend our sincere apologies for not exceeding your expectations. Cynthia Brasseur General Manager
"Great place!"
We booked this place blind off the internet and were very pleasantly surprised! Beds were incredibly comfortable and there is a Chili's attached to the hotel, which was great for our late arrival dinner. Breakfast was okay, but the reset of the stay was exceptional.

"Traveling with family"
We had plesant experience during our stay for 12 nights. The hotel located in very strategic area where as you can find many store around you and within walking distance. Restaurant no issue and if you visit St. Louis without driving shouldn't be issue as well since public transportation (Metro) stop in front of the hotel and can take you anywhere you want to go.

Good Morning, and many thanks for your great review. It was a pleasure having you with us for 12 nights and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay. We wish you the best of your next adventure! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Amtrak travel"
Arriving by Amtrak too late to drive home - Best Western is the perfect location - less than 5 minutes from the train station, safe, clean, and very comfortable! Check-in was easy & safe for this senior female traveling alone, and after an excellent glass of wine, I enjoyed the very comfortable bed,

Last minute family road trip to Branson, MO. Front desk clerk was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast had several great options for our teenager to chosefrom. Gorgeous hotel and fantastic price. Thank You!

Good Morning, we are celebrating your fantastic review. Thanks so much for the kudos. Bring that teenager back so we can further impress! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"stop on way to Branson"
I recommend this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. Temperature control was easy to use and the fan ran constantly. I mention this for those of us that like white noise for sleeping. Some units cycle on and off which is annoying. There is a Chili's attached .You can get to it from within the hotel. The bathroom is a little small but nice shower. One drawback was the Internet. Spotty connectivity. It dropped in and out. They need a stronger booster. If not for the Internet issue I would rate them a 5.
"Felt very homey."
Great hotel choice. Convenient to everything. Central location...clean. We will stay again. Easy checkin. Good breakfast. Felt comfortable and a nice haven. Bathroom kinda tiny but ok. Target with Starbucks within walking distance.
"Good choice in hotels"
This hotel has comfortable beds. The breakfast choices are good and varied. We really enjoyed the friendly bartender at happy hour, and he makes a good drink! There is an attached Chili's that gives guests a 10% discount. And the staff is helpful and friendly.

"Friendly and clean"
The staff was terrific, we had a stay on the way out and again on the way back. They were good about knowing our names and remembered us on the way back from the previous stay. The beds were clean and really comfortable. While I was hoping for a hot tub, they had an outdoor heated pool that turned out to be absolutely wonderful! Thanks!

"Pleasant experience in St. Louis"
Stayed at this hotel on our way to Branson, MO. What a wonderful experience! This 6 story establishment sits within walking distance of WalMart, Lowe's, Target and many other stores and restaurants. The lobby was stunning! Sometimes lobbies are given more attention than the rooms but not so in this Best Western! The room on the first floor was large, bright and the 2 beds were very comfortable. We always prefer being on a top floor but being that we were traveling with our cat we had to be on the "pet floor" meaning downstairs! That was OK...our room overlooked a grassy area and the beautiful pool. Michael at the front desk suggested dinner at Texas Roadhouse just across the parking lot. A very good suggestion, Michael! We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there if traveling in this area again.

"Excellent."
As soon as I walked into the lobby I was greeted by 2 staff behind the reception desk who was very polite and helpful. They took the time to explain everything that was offered at the hotel. And what was available near and the around hotel. Very clean exterior and interior. My room was very clean and accommodating and perfect. It was quiet with a comfortable bed. This hotel has a perfection location being right off the I-44 and easy to find.

We've stayed at this hotel a few times now, and have many more plans to stay there in the future. Whole hotel is modern, well kept, and the staff is always so nice. The location is great, so many places to eat and shop within walking distance. I highly recommend BW Kirkwood!!
"Vacation Stay"
Gladys at the Front Desk was awesome. The rooms were clean and the internet was fast and smooth. Pool area was clean and the breakfast bar was a great touch to eliminate a trip to another location for food.
"Great!"
Great comfortable hotel. Close to food and shopping. Everything was close and accessible. Was only able to stay one night, as I was traveling. Yet, if it was possible, I would have stayed here for the entire trip!

"Just an Average Motel Stay - Best Western Kirkwood isn't the "best""
I'm sure a busy business traveler would not even notice but I was there on a weekend and it had obvious short-comings that you should know about: Short-staffed but they tried hard Bathroom was not cleaned very well Bed pillows were "tiny" (half-sized) and there were too many of them?! Location was good, drive-up was easy Free-breakfast was very popular Food was average but the morning breakfast was well run and the busiest part of the Hotel when I was there.

"Good clean mostly quit lodging - with my dogs!"
Staff was nice, place was nice and clean even with a dog room! They put you in the back on the first floor which is convenient with leashes and dogs. The ac was a bit “old” and bathroom small for the price but rest was good.

"Kirkwood rd in St Louis"
Great breakfast comfy bed but toilet seat would not stay up to pee. Was able to come and go without someone asking if I'm staying there at 2 am. The last Best western offered free coffee in the lounge and popcorn and this one did not.

"Great location"
I was shocked at all of the different shops and resturants near this Best Western. The staff was great. They have motorcycle parking which is always a plus. This was the first time was stayed at this Best Western. If we are traveling to Miluakee again this will be our stop to relax and enjoy more of the surrounding area.

"Nice place to stay"
I ran into this motel quite by accident as I was travelling accross the country. Staff was great and the room was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend if you are in the St Louis area staying at this hotel. It is inexpensive for what you receive and a pleasant place to rest your head for the night.

"Good value with buffet breakfast"
The hotel was clean with courteous staff at reception and breakfast. The room was a good size with two queen beds. The usual coffee maker, sadly with powdered creamers. The bathroom has both bath and shower, all looking fresh with rather old fashioned porcelain. We took advantage of the breakfast buffet which was wider than we've been used to in the more budget type inns. The quality wasn't always great, the bacon was not recognizable as such but we had a decent meal. The hotel has an external pool which we didn't look at. We'd come to visit St Louis on holiday and while it's a way out of the city we found some excellent historical sites to visit close by. We were happy with this choice and the good value.

Good Morning Graham - thank your comments and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope you are able to return and enjoy our pool area some day! Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great Hotl"
We stayed at this hotel on 2 successive weekends. The staff was great. They have a unique arrangement with a Chilis restaurant and a separate bar attached to the same facility. The hotel and restaurant were great. The bar seemed to attract some odd local patrons. I would think the staff needs to do better in this aspect.

"Good value"
We apprecieated the shuttle to the train station and the complimentary breakfast. All hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The air conditioner worked very well. A few little minor things I would improve...a coffee maker that makes more than one cup at a time...and more coffee. Some more bathroom supplies, such as extra rolls of toilet paper and some hand soap for the sink. Overall I will probably stay there again and recommend this hotel to others.

I was pleasantly surprised with this property. I read the great reviews but still had my hesitations. WOW was I wrong. This is a great property - clean, super location, polite and helpful.staff, quiet and so convenient! Free use of printer in lobby and free breakfast. Breakfast was nothing special but it was what I expected (yogurt, waffle maker, fruit, juices, pasteries, etc.) Perfect for parents who need to visit Webster Univ. We will definitely be staying here again.

I had booked the room through Priceline as a half way point on a road trip. Very easy to find. Excellent price! Perfect location! Shopping and restaurants very close by.Staff was nice and very efficient. Every person I encountered greeted me and was genuinely friendly.During this stay, I did not take advantage of the Chili's restaurant located on the 2nd floor (I was too tired from travel) or the breakfast in the morning (I actually overslept because I was so comfortable!!).

"Disappointed Parking!"
The hotel is excellent, although parking isn't worth a split in the wind, I'm a disabled get and have a disabled tag, but couldn't get a disabled parking spot because a lot of them were taken by Non-Disabled cars. Management wouldn't do anything about it. Very disappointing, since I will be staying here with my with over the next several months!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Mr. Zortman, to clarify your statement on availability of accessible parking: When you brought this to our attention at 2:45 this morning, our desk clerk assured you that any non-compliant vehicles would be towed. We immediately had our bellman personally check and verify tags/plates on the vehicles parked in our accessible spaces. All displayed the legal requirements for this parking. Cynthia L.

"Super clean rooms, friendly staff, and other conveniences"
The hotel, room, and breakfast bar were extremely clean. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast bar offered more choices than your standard hotel breakfast.

"Smell of cigarettes "
When we arrived we noticed the cigarette smell on the fourth floor. Also our room smelled like someone had smoked there. We asked for another room from another floor and got it. First our new room was ok, but we both woke up in the middle of the night and noticed the smell again. Our bathroom was the worst smelling room for some reason. We always prefer non-smoking hotels. Also this hotel tells on his website that it is non-smoking hotel. When we checked out the worker said that they are "theoritically non-smoking hotel, but some customers don't pay attention to that". If you are looking for an non-smoking hotel I can't recommend. I think we would have been satisfied with that hotel without that smell. Otherwise rooms were ok (though towels were very small).

Good Afternoon Joanna. Please accept our sincere apologies for your dis-satisfactory experience while our guest.

"Short vacation"
My wife and I decided to take a short vacation to St. Louis to go to the zoo and science center. We were looking for a hotel that was close to things to do and at a good price. We are members of a travel club and when we called to find a hotel, they found this Best Western and it sounded like a good fit. We booked it and it was just about 10 miles away from the zoo and science center. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool was nice and had pool noodles and beach balls there supplied by the hotel. Breakfast was included and was very good with a large variety of things to eat. We had breakfast 2 mornings and they had bacon the first day and sausage patties the next. There was eggs, potatoes with peppers and sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, Belgian waffles, cereal, yogurt, bagels, pastries, juice, and coffee. There was also a Chili's attached to the hotel that offered 10% off for hotel guests and a Texas Roadhouse within walking distance that did the same. There were numerous other choices all within a short walk or drive. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and it was a great experience staying here. If you are in the St. Louis area and you are looking for a nice clean hotel in a good location, this is an excellent choice.

"Okay hotel bathroom very small "
This was the 5th stop in our cross country drive from LA to DC. We are staying at 6 best westerns total. This was the first that was a hotel so with interior doors rather than exterior. When we arrived we received a very friendly welcome from the front desk. They were helpful and told us that we could leave our large moving van with tow as is. The hotel is in s great area it appears very safe and is within walking distance of many stores and places to eat. Walmart, target, tj maxx to name a few. The hotel had discount coupons for some of the places so be sure to ask . We got 10% off of Texas Roadhouse. We were on the ground floor and had a sliding glass door with a concrete slab. I only wished it was enclosed or had some furniture. But it was nice to load our truck up from the doors. The breakfast was good although not as plentiful as some of the others and it was the first time I noticed empty food containers not being restocked. There was one person working the breakfast and she was not very friendly. I asked where the jelly was and she barked it was on the table. The rooms were also very small and do not have a microwave. The bathroom was teeny and with the door closed I could not turn around without hitting something very small counter space too. The shower water got way too hot like scalding. The bathroom sink also smelled horribly of sewer anytime you ran the water. The hotel has a pool but make sure to ask for a room not facing pool because it's very loud. Thankfully we were on the back side. The hotel is very family friendly. But the downside of that is expect to be awoken fairly early by the sounds of children in the hallway. The walls are quite thin. This was by far the most expensive of the best westerns we stayed at. While the location was great I think I would shop around price wise to get a larger room before staying again.

We were so impressed with everything from the friendly and helpful staff to the hot breakfast and the clean and modern rooms. If you're traveling with small kids, this is the perfect spot! It's within walking distance to a Target and several places to eat. A children's museum is right down the street, and the hotel is a block from the interstate with an easy drive pretty much anywhere in St. Louis. And for really small kids, the complimentary pack and plays were in surprisingly great condition (a first for us at a hotel!).

"Great trip"
Came here for some great food and drinks. Toby's place was great for food and drinks. Pappy's can not be beat for their food. Giontony's is the best for Italian food. Then there is Highway 61 Roadhouse for the best new Orleans food.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
So glad you enjoyed your trip to our area. You highlighted some fabulous restaurants! Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Good Location"
We stopped for one night during a road trip from Michigan to Texas. This hotel is in a nice area with many amenities nearby: Walmart is directly behind the hotel and there are a number of restaurants within easy walking distance (Chipotle, White Castle, Buffalo Wild Wings, O'Charlies) as well as Van's bar and Chilies right inside the hotel. We recommend the Texas Roadhouse for delicious steaks, chicken & salmon. The hotel itself is clean and nice, but not fancy. Our king room was clean and comfortable. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was above average with eggs, sausage, biscuits with sausage gravy, make your own pancakes and waffles as well as the usual cereal, yogurt, etc. There was adequate parking for our small travel trailer and good lighting for security. There is a small outdoor pool that looked clean, but it feels like it is set in the open parking area in a very busy area. Our only minor complaint about our stay as a whole was the lack of a menu feature on the TV to determine if the movie we came across was just starting or almost over. The front desk told us they had just switched cable companies so that might be short term. Prices here were a little higher than locations closer to St. Louis proper, but we would stay here again.

"Great Hotel"
Just stayed two nights. One night in a King room on the 2nd floor. The room faced the back of the hotel but the bed was extremely comfortable. The 2nd night I had two queens and while the beds were still comfortable there is a weird wire feeing about the edges. But I only noticed it when getting on or off that bed. Nothing while sleeping. There were a couple of ants on my bed and nightstand when I woke up in the morning (room 302) only two. The breakfast was good, the pool was good and the hotel staff was very friendly. If you eat at the attached Chili's you'll get 10% off if you show them your room key. Will definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area. Book early also. I was eyeing this hotel when it was $91 a night I waited until last minute and it cost me $120 a night so by not booking early I wasted $38 over two nights.

"Excellence"
The Kirkwood Best Western is of the highest quality but not too expensive. The food is excellent. The staff are friendly and intelligent. The staff are hard-working. The staff are available for their guests' every need.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi John, Thank you. You have absolutely made our day! Gratefully, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWki
"Upscale and comfy"
The location of this Best Western cannot be beat, especially if you are following Route 66 across the midwest. The room was comfy, clean and well outfitted. Also, the hot breakfast was great! Like the other little luxuries,this was an appreciated treat at a "regular" Best Western rather than a "Plus". We were on the second floor with direct access to the breakfast area as well as,right from the hotel, a Chilli's Restaurant. We also noticed there was a White Castle across the parking lot for a quick bite. This pleasant stay made our St. Louis visit even nicer.

Hello Eva, and many thanks for your descriptive review! We appreciate your great comments and are so glad you enjoyed your time with us. Our Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Friendly Staff. Good Breakfast"
Was welcomed by great front desk staff who were super friendly. Rooms were clean and the television got a ton of channels, which was cool but I couldn't find a guide. Breakfast was a good hotel breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, biscuits & gravy, pancakes, waffles, cereal, yogurt and more. Highly satisfied with this stay
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Ryan - and thanks for the great kudos! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you keep us in mind should you return to our area. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI P.S. Channel guides are in our guest services directory and a laminated sheet by the TV. So sorry yours was missing!
"Wonderful"
The room was spacious and clean. The outdoor pool has a very nice kiddie pool that our 4 year old had fun playing in. The breakfast was hot and tasty. The only downside, if there was one, was the bathroom was a little small. Overall, it was a great stay.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

"Location Was Perfect"
I chose the Best Western for its location as I had to attend an event nearby and it was perfect for my 3 night stay. The desk clerk Robert was fantastic. Probably the best hotel clerk I have encountered in sometime. The free hot breakfast was very good. Plenty of hot item choices and beverages. Chile's & Texas Roadhouse are within walking distance with a Dunkin Donuts in the parking lot. Close to all freeways, shopping and etc. Very nice part of town as well. I would definitely stay at this Best western again if I was to visit this area of Saint Louis again.

Good Afternoon Arizona Bob! Thank you for your kind comments and shout-out for Robert at our front desk. We appreciate the time you took to review your stay and look forward to your future visit. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"A night in St Louis"
Good location. Nice breakfast with pancakes as an option which most other Best Westerns do not have. Mattress was higher on the edges which made it difficult to sit or get in and out of bed, but back did not hurt in the morning.

Hello Fonda, and thank you for reviewing your recent stay with us. We appreciate your comments and hope you will keep us in mind should you return to our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Very pleased"
This was my first stay at the Kirkwood Best Western, but I will definitely be a repeat customer. The staff was very helpful, the room was clean and comfie and the location is great - close to restaurants, stores and many area attractions. PLUS, the rates are very reasonable.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and we are delighted that you were so pleased with your stay. Glad you found us! And we hope we can continue to be of service when you visit the STL area. Thank you! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"friendly staff, nice rooms, nice locations, but very slow internet"
little overpriced but was busy weekend, nice rooms but bathroom a little small, walls also thin, could hear coughing and TV from next room and noise from hallway, friendly staff, asked for 1PM checkout and was not bothered before then, location close to restaurants and easy to find, but internet was very slow, also could not get internet from ethernet jack on desk phone, pool was filled but was not open
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello, and thank you for reviewing your recent stay. Our apologies for the slow internet. We researched and found a router that inexplicably went down and has since been replaced. Thank you for bringing this important customer service issue to our attention. And a short note on our outdoor pool. We operate seasonally, with our pool opening Memorial Day weekend. It was indeed filled during your stay, but not available due to regulating the water - balancing chlorine and Ph. I'm sorry that it wasn't available during your stay. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Top Notch"
Rooms were clean and up to date, the sliding glass doors in the pet friendly rooms were a huge help. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic. Walking distance to Walmart, target, chili's, Duncan donuts and more.

"Just what we needed"
In St. Louis for a a quick family get together. Wanted to be in Kirkwood area...didn't want to spend a lot of money...but wanted a lounge and restaurant to gather in. The Best Western was perfect. Very nice, comfortable rooms. Choice of lounge or Chilis restaurant (both connected to the hotel). Clean, modern and friendly staff.

"Good Hotel in a safe area"
The Best Western at Kirkwood is a great location. I have stayed there many times and most visits are extremely comfortable. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel so you do not have to leave the premises. There is shopping in the area as well. Rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. My only complaint is the amenities are few and far between.A REALLY little shampoo and only bar soap. Very basic. Everything else was good.

"Overall Very Nice"
Very nice stay at the hotel, the only (and I mean only) disappointing thing was the coffee was pretty horrible. The breakfast was adequate and the attached bar and restaurant were just fine. Lots of chain restaurant options around as well. Very nice stay
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and thank you for taking the time to submit a survey, as well as review your stay. We appreciate the kudos and are working on our coffee service.

"Service of desk staff was great!"
We changed rooms 3 times. 2 rooms were disgusting poop,blood,hair,ciggerette ashes in sink. Hair and pubs on the floor and tub. Room was so unclean and there was a bad odor. The 3rd room from a different house keeper was clean and great. Front desk staff was friendly and so very helpful they made a note of the problems and addressed them in the fastest manner.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Chris, Again, our sincere apologies for the housekeeping oversight you found when you checked in. As I communicated to in in my email, I have personally counseled with the room attendant involved in this incident and returned this individual to training status with immediate supervision. I appreciate your noting the service provided by both Michael & Robert at our front desk. I hope you will afford us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of product quality on your next visit to our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Love this hotel!!!"
This is now my go to place when I am in St. Louis. Clean, quiet, located right off the interstate and super friendly staff. This hotel has it all. And it's a great value. The rooms are spacious, clean and the bed is amazingly comfortable. The staff are warm and accommodating. An added bonus is there is a Texas Roadhouse in the same shopping area and you get a coupon for 10% off your meal. All in all, it was a relaxing, enjoyable stay.

Good Afternoon Alicia. We are delighted to win your repeat business and earn your "Go-To" award! Thank you so much for your great review. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Poor staff, poor location"
We stopped here on our first leg of Route 66, our first impressions were ok despite its location on a retail park. I spotted a guy driving the hotel bus and asked him if the hotel ran a shuttle into St Louis. He was incredibly rude and growled “no we do not” and stomped off into the hotel. It transpired that he was the maintenance guy. With this bad start we entered the hotel, only to find that the hotel had managed to mess up our reservation for two rooms and we ended up on different floors. The guy on check in was great but had no idea of any of the local sites, including the chain of rocks bridge! That was a disappointment. That evening we explored St Louis and returned to eat at the Texas Roadhouse which was great. We also tried the bar in the hotel, which was very expensive. During the night, in fact at three AM we were woken up by house keeping banging and crashing around in the room next door, which wasn't acceptable. We complained to reception who couldn't care les! Upon check out, we were greeted by a very surly and rude woman, who was clearly in the wrong job. I definitely don't recommend this hotel the staff were appalling and seem to resent having guests!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon. Please accept our sincere apologies for not exceeding your expectations. The lack of customer service you described is certainly not what we aspire to and I am sorry your visit was marred in this way. I can only hope that you will offer us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of service should you revisit our area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Go there you will not be disappointed in any way!"
Nicest group of employees you could ever ask for. Rooms are spacious and the amenities are in perfect shape. It is just what a weary traveler would want. In house restaurant, neat bar right there as well, and a Dunkie, Walmart, & 5 restaurants all within walking distance.

"Needs closet rods!"
Breakfast was great and plentiful. Many, many choices. Great attention from the employees. However, the closets do not have rods to hang clothes! Unbelievable. Employees are both professional and friendly. Rooms were a tad small, would have preferred a suite, but was told none were available.

"Almost two years later, not the comfortable stay I remember"
I gave this hotel an excellent review in July of '16. Sadly, I can only give the hotel a 'poor' review in April of '18. Front desk staff was very friendly but my room on the 4th floor was less than conducive to rest. During unseasonably cold weather during my stay it was necessary to run the room heater. All night long each and every time the heater kicked in it began with what I can only describe as a high-pitched harmonica sound followed by a cranking that continued throughout the heating cycle. ALL NIGHT LONG. Harmonica followed by cranking. I got zero sleep. Additionally, there was something wrong with the toilet's flushing mechanism. It gave the appearance of wanting to overflow upon flushing and then did this weird rapid empty/bubbling thing. I stayed at a very nearby hotel the night before my stay at the Best Western Kirkwood Inn and plan to stay there, not here, when next in the area.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and please accept our heartfelt apologies for the difficulties you experienced during your recent stay. If you would be so kind as to reach out to me @ cindy@pmihotels.com, or (314) 821-3950, I would like to ascertain the room you stayed in to ensure that repairs have since been made. Had we known of these difficulties during your stay, we would have moved your party to another room or immediately made the repairs. Again, our apologies. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur
"Good Hotel, pleasant surprise"
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was (I have not had luck with hotels). Everything was clean, the front desk people were very nice. The bar in the hotel was a good time. The only issue I had was whoever was in the room above me sounded like they were constantly partying (moving furniture stomping the floor). Not the hotels fault, the rooms to the sides of me I couldn't hear. I felt safe too and it is in a good location to shops and restaurants, I actually walked to many places.

"Weekend getaway"
Hotel very clean, the staff are very helpful. When I check in was greeted by an Asian man, very professional. He even gave my dog a treat. This hotel is pet friendly. Had a room on the ground floor which had a sliding door which is great. You can go outside and have your dog relieved herself. The hotel is by the expressway, which is 15 to 20 minutes to downtown St. Louis and attractions. Also a lot shops and restaurants close by. Excellent hot breakfast. Will stay here again when visiting in the future.

"pretty good deal"
The prices were good on this hotel but it was not the cleanest; not like it was disgustingly filthy, but the carpet was not as clean as it should be nor was the bathroom. On the plus side the staff was great and the breakfast was above average for a hotel in this price range. This is a great location for getting to downtown, central west end, the loop, forest park, six flags ,etc

"A great hotel for I 44 travelers"
This hotel has easy access to I44, very comfortable rooms with great showers, a class breakfast room, and a very nice premises with amenities. It is an upscale restaurant, but without a bar/restaurant, nor does it have a concierge or Bellman. It doesn't really need these extras, as there is an O'Charley's, A Texas Roadhouse, a Dunkin Donuts, and many other food vendors at the same exit. ( Even a Walmart) We were very happy with our choice of Best Western Kirkwood.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Daniel. Thank you for your great review. I'm sorry that you weren't aware that we do have bell service, as well as a full service restaurant offering table & room service - Chili's Bar & Grill, and our own bar - Van's Tavern. We hope you get a chance to re-visit us and enjoy these amenities. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Good value"
Great value ($80 for a king!) and a decent breakfast. Clean room. Nice little bar attached to the property with a friendly bartender with a heavy pour (the best kind!) My only issue was that the sheet kept pulling up from the corner of the mattress during the night.

"Excellent value in a convenient location."
My cousin and I stayed here as part of our annual Oscars weekend this month. We just needed a nice place to stay to watch the show, so we didn't need much! Got a great deal on Hotwire, and the experience was great. Friendly check-in people, updated decor, dark room, nice TV, quiet night. Only gripe is the lack of a microwave in the room (there is a fridge), but we were able to use the one in the breakfast area. We ate breakfast down the street so can't speak for the morning options, but I like that a full breakfast is included. Always a plus! The hotel is very close to Target, Lowe's, and various restaurants, as well as major highways. Very convenient. Would highly recommend if you need a solid lodging option near STL.

"Great Deal"
My family of 4 stayed here for a cheerleading competition in St. Louis. The hotel is easy to find and within walking distance from Dunkin Donuts, Target and a few other stores. The lobby is stunning and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly. We were given a 10% off coupon for Chili's which is attached to the hotel and will actually deliver to your room for a small fee. We had a room with 2 beds on the 3rd floor. Room was very clean and quiet. My only issue with the room is the mattresses were not as comfy as I would have liked. They seemed worn in and old. The next morning we enjoyed the free breakfast which is your typical hotel breakfast. Overall we really enjoyed our stay . It's so close to the city without having to pay for parking and breakfast. Highly recommend!

"Nice place!"
Visiting family in St. Louis. The room here was very nice, clean and at the end of the hallway next to an exit door which was great considering we had our dog. Comfortable beds, lots of towels. Check in was easy too. We got up early to hit the road and went to the breakfast. It was recommended by the desk clerk. Considering we got there early, I thought the food would have been fresh. It seems we must have just arrived after a morning rush [it was a Saturday]. The egg patties were cold as were the sausage patties which was disappointing. I should have gone with the make your own waffles or pancakes!! Despite that, we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again.

"Best Western Tooth Fairy "
We visited St. Louis this weekend for a family wedding, and the hotel was close to the venue. It was clean, well maintained, and everything we expected it to be. The staff, however, we above and beyond for our family. During our stay, our seven-year-old lost a tooth. They staff were just as excited as she was about it, and listened as she expressed her concern that the Tooth Fairy may not know where she was at. Thankfully the Best Western Tooth Fairy arrived to save the day. None of this was expected, but it was extremely touching to witness. Thank you for going above and beyond to make a seven-year-old's day. We will be staying here again the next time we come up to visit family.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

"Great reasonably priced place "
Choosing to not spend big on a hotel we opted to stay here based on reviews and price. It was an excellent choice. It's clean, the bed is very good. The climate control is pretty quiet and check in was a breeze. This will be my first choice when stay in the st louis area again. The shower was a great bonus as well. The wifi was automatic and I have to say, it's a great value and a nice place. More money at a fancy place wouldn't have made the time spent any better

"Excellent Hotel"
Check in was easy; the room was bigger than we expected. It was clean and comfortable The bed was huge, lots of pillows. The side chair and ottoman were both comfortable to sit and sleep in (as my sister in law and nephew tested this out). We stayed for 2 nights, on the fourth floor. It was very quiet, easy to sleep. Breakfast was buffet style and tasted like homecooking.There is a corridor and entrance inside that leads to Chili's restaurant next door.

"I would recommend and stay again."
Headed to Entertainment event at the Fox theater and see the sights. Came up early incase of bad weather. For being New Years eve, I was impressed there was not much noise. Only had a couple minor issues: The room above us had a annoying kid that ran around, I guess I am more patient then my daughter or wife, however, they did wake my daughter, she had turned in early 7 pm. I suppose the kid finally went to sleep at 9pm. (Only noise I could hear was someone slamming their car doors at 7 am, been up since 5 am couldnt sleep, but nothing to do with the hotel). The fridge did not work, I did not complained but plan to notify when we check out, when it is 3 degrees outside, I suppose could have put my ice chest out on the patio area. We were on the 2nd floor, there was the bar, I glanced in but did not use, about 5 customers but it was also 7pm. Many restaurants, Walmart, and Lowes, in the close proximity. (oh, and chili's), Room close to the elevator, stairs, bar, breakfast area, room faced the parking lot. Hotel is very close to interstate & close to many amendities. If it wasnt for the fridge would have given a 5 star.

Hi Don, Happy 2018! Thank you for reviewing your recent stay with us. Please accept my apologies for the fridge not working.

We appreciate your business and want to earn that 5-stars should you visit our area in the future. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur General Manager cindy@pmihotels.com
"Wonderful hotel to stay at."
This is a wonderful hotel to stay at while visiting in the St. Louis area. It is clean and quiet with comfortable rooms and beds. The staff is friendly and helpful. This hotel also has quick and easy access to the highway(s). We've stayed here many times and will continue to come back!

Greetings Deborah, and thanks from the heart for your testimonial about your experiences with us. We appreciate your business, look forward to your future visits and wish you the very best for 2018! Our Very Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great service! Incredible staff!"
Customer service is stellar. Clean rooms. Convenient/good location. My fiancé and I were in town to visit family for Christmas, and we had our dog with us. We loved that all pet guests stayed on the ground floor, with sliding glass doors in every room that led out to a grass area. Highly recommend this hotel.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Mike, and thank you for the great shout-out for our customer service. Our team here is truly devoted to having a great time and taking care of our guests. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and know that we treasure our 4-legged guests! Happy New Year, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"A St. Louis MUST1"
OUTSTANDING! Super rooms, great breakfast, outsanding staff on Check In and Check Out! Much superior facilities than earlier in the trip. I would not plan on any other location in the St. Louis area. Dollar for Dollar this is the best buy!

"Beware if booking a pet room"
I booked a pet room directly with the hotel by phone 3 weeks before arrival to ensure that I had a pet room as I had stayed here years ago and knew that without a pet Room it was difficult to find a place to take dog outside on property as is surrounded by asphalt. I called and confirmed that pet Room reservation the day before arrival. I called the day of to verify check in time and that I had a pet room. When I arrived at 5pm, I was told that all the pet rooms were gone because “so many people kept coming in with dogs”. The clerk verified that I had booked a pet room but he had none to offer. I guess my reservation was pointless. I travel frequently with dogs and have never had this experience. I was given a room on 3rd floor instead.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon. Thank you for your candid comments about your reservation for a pet room. I sincerely apologize that the volume of folks traveling with pets overwhelmed our availability of pet friendly rooms. I am sorry we did not meet your expectations. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Christmas Holiday Stay"
The room was comfortable and had all of the accomodations that we required. The room was not made up on the second day of our stay. We left the room at about 11 am. The next day we asked at the desk to make up the room before we left the hotel.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello, and thank you for your review of your recent stay. Our apologies that your room was overlooked for service on the second day of your stay. I have shared your comments with our Director of Quality, who has taken steps to ensure this incident does not reoccur. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur and Team BWKI
"Great Value"
My husband, 7 year old, and I found ourselves in need of a place to stay while our apartment building was being renovated and the fumes made our apartment uninhabitable. The staff was fantastic and incredibly friendly at all steps of the reservation and check-in process. The room was simple but clean and quite comfortable (and surprisingly quiet for being on the first floor). The beds were soft and there were plenty of pillows. The attached restaurant made things so convenient (especially with a 10% discount!), I loved being able to get a warm meal without having to walk outside in the cold! It wasn't the Hilton, but our stay here changed my perception about Best Western, elevating them from a budget hotel chain to a viable competitor at a great value.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings Rachel, Your compliments about your stay are so very appreciated, and we are so happy to have been the property to introduce you to our Best Western brand. We hope that the renovations are done at home and that you will keep us in mind for any family and friends that may come to our area. Happy Holidays! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellent room for good price."
We were there as a group, so I don't know the regular rate, but $230 for 2 nights was great. Clean, well maintained, good service, attractive facility and room. Pretty good breakfast. The only thing that would have made it better was to have an elevator at both ends of the hallway, because our group was spread over several floors.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and thanks so much for your 5-point review of your recent stay. We're delighted that you enjoyed yourself and hope you get a chance to return in the future. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great experience"
Stayed here for night, as had to be at Shriner's Hospital in St. Louis very early next morning and we had traveled from Tulsa. Very helpful front desk. Sorry we had to miss breakfast as it smelled awesome as we checked. Clean and comfortable

Hi Kathy, Thank you for your review and the shout-out for our front desk. They are a wonderful group of true hospitality professionals. We hope you have time for breakfast next time, because it is quite tasty! Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Doggone Good Time"
As guardians of a 15 pound, white haired, fur baby, it can be sometimes difficult to find sleeping accommodations that suit Toto's needs. BWK hit it out of the park! The room had a sliding door onto a grass strip that gave our pet uddles of sniffing delights. Michael greeted us efficiently and warmly. Top notch!

Good Morning! We delight in our 4-footed guests and it's great to hear that it shows. Thanks for such a wonderful review of your stay and the shout-out for Michael at our front desk! Happy Holidays, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI

Very comfortable room! Everything was clean and the staff was extremely helpful. The location was just perfect to be able to shop in the strip mall just steps away from the hotel as well as the Chilis restaurant that is attached to the hotel.

"Perfect Location"
My wife and I went to St. Louis for a weekend get-away. Our plans included visiting the Arch and Six Flags, so I chose a hotel in the middle. Little did I know, Best Western Kirkwood was surrounded by everything we could think of. There was a mall within minutes, and Target and Walmart were on the same parking lot as the hotel. There were also several restaurants within sight from the hotel, and a Chili's is actually connected to the hotel. We'll definitely return.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello, and many thanks for your complimentary review of your stay, and pointing out that we make a great base camp for your visit to the St.Louis area.

"Nice Place!"
We enjoyed everything about our stay. Clean, friendly, affordable. Liked having the restaurant, breakfast & bar all within the complex. It was also in close proximity to great shopping and highways.We'll book there when we go back to the area.

"Excellent service and property!"
I stayed at the Best Western Kirkwood last week and I must say I was impressed by the staff and how they greet every guest that walks in. I had the pleasure to meet Gladys who check me in and whose smile I saw every morning during my stay. I also had the opportunity to interact with Michael, Robert, Andrea, Ashley, Alex and Bryant they all made sure I had an enjoyable stay. I have visited a lot of hotels in my business travels, but this hotel is by far the best I have stayed at. The breakfast is located on the 2nd floor which I thought was great. An assortment of options for everyone from waffles, eggs, potatoes, and fruit. They have a bar that is located on the 2nd floor across from the breakfast area called Van's Traven, great Apple Martini! I will make sure to come back and bring my family to enjoy this beautiful property and all the fun activities that Kirkwood/St. Louis have to offer. Oh yeah and don't forget to stop by and see Camilla the Caterpillar on the 2nd floor!

"Home Way from Home"
This Best Western is my home-away-from-home. I stay there every time I go to St. Louis. It's always clean, comfortable, has a nice breakfast, convenient to local restaurants and two major highways and a shopping center nearby plus all the amenities you could possibly want.

"Pleasant stay at Best Western"
I'm glad I searched for a Best Western in this area. The location was perfect, and the service and amenities absolutely met my needs. The check-in representative went out of his way to clarify a question I had, and the breakfast got us started wonderfully on our day.

Hi Margaret and thank you so much for your fantastic review. What a wonderful way to begin our week! We hope you keep us in mind should your travels ever bring you back to Kirkwood! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Stunning hotel"
Beautifully decorated. We were literally just there long enough to sleep but the beds were actual QUEEN SIZED instead of those stupid full sized that they try to make two people sleep in. Bed was pretty firm for my liking but the rest of my family loved it. I would love to come back when I have time to enjoy the hotel more. It was full but the only noise we heard was the heavy metal stairwell door banging (and it was right outside our door) when it was closed. Even that sounded like a normal room door from inside our room. Otherwise, not a peep to be heard from a full hotel, not even from the rooms above us. Soooo quiet.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning! We're delighted that you enjoyed a quiet and comfortable night with us. Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We hope you can return and spend a bit more time with us and explore the beautiful Kirkwood area. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice Location"
Enjoyed staying in this conveniently located hotel when we had to visit St. Louis for a funeral. Would stay here again!! Staff was pleasant, room was clean and attractive, breakfast was filling! The hotel was very quiet also.

Nice Room, Reasonably Priced, Good Breakfast, Really Convenient to good stuff nearby!! The staff was friendly and willing to help make the stay most enjoyable...nice to have the DD and Walmart and great restaurants in walking distance. Chilies and bar in hotes ain't bad either!!

"Clean But Needs Sercice Improvement"
Grooming of front desk clerks. Politeness to other people and not just to "men in business attire." Needs improvement in breakfast food and service. The location of this hotel is extremely convenient. It is in close proximity to the various private schools and colleges in the area for out of town parents and or relatives. It is an extreme shame that little things such a common courtesy are not found in this hotel. Personally had to assist a lady with children dragging a hotel cart with suitcases from the lobby to the elevator and all the way up to the front door of her room!

Good Morning and thank you for your constructive criticism on our level of service. We appreciate your unvarnished observations and will work towards an improved level of customer service. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Traveling Around"
There is little or one parking for pickups & trailers but there a walmart parking lot is across the street that works out ok. There were no surprises,the room was clean and I sleep very well. It was a great location for where i was going. It's a ok place to stay. Will stay there again.

"Always a pleasure!"
Still my favorite place to stay when in the St. Louis area. Two things really make it stand out, the private balconies and the breakfast. LOVE having a balcony of my own to enjoy and their breakfast is definitely a cut above the norm! I only have two complaints. One is that the wifi is just too slow and unreliable. I always have to use my own wifi card. Second thing is that the shower has very little water pressure. Wish they had adjustable shower heads, I like to turn mine to massage. Otherwise, it's great. Rooms are clean, hotel is lovely, beds and pillows are very comfortable. Having Chili's right in the hotel is nice too and here are lots of other places nearby to eat and shop.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Happy Saturday April, and we so appreciate your complimentary review of your stay. We will get to work on your wifi observations, thanks for letting us know. Our Very Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Road trip"
This is by far the nicest and most pleasant stay ever at a hotel! It's beautiful and friendly and extremely convenient if you have a dog. There were so many places to eat close by and I personally loved the Dunkin' Donuts on the premises!

"Great stay!!!"
Stayed for one night on business at the Kirkwood Best Western. The staff are some of the best I've encountered. Robert accomodated our last minutes request and when we arrived he had it all ready and had such a great personality for someone working late in the evening. They keep their pool open longer than most out door pools, and its 9 feet deep. I dont' see that much any more. A great breakfast go us going in the morning. Cleanliness was great. Will be back!

"Rt location for local & regional connections"
We have family in the Kirkwood area, and we definitely will take advantage of the perfectly-located hotel when we have more than one night to spend in the area. Do think about booking a room here when you want to relax and take the train (instead of clogged freeways). Recent renovations knock it out of the park!.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Michael! Thanks for your great comments about your stay. And also, your suggestion about staff familiarity with our local area. We have incorporated that into our on-boarding process complete with a drive tour of the Kirkwood area for new team members. We look forward to your future visit. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Overall good stay"
The hotel had a nice ambience. Breakfast was pretty good. The only problem was that on the second night the room was only partially cleaned. Trash was not emptied, towels left behind bathroom door and new towels not provided. Seemed like work was started bit then interrupted and person never came back to finish. Easy access to highway and good price.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, Please accept our sincere apologies for the oversight in housekeeping on your second night.

"Exceptional"
This hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. The area is just shy of St Louis. The location was right off the 44 freeway and in a great area for shopping. It's also very close to Grant's Farm. The hotel was nicer than we expected. It was very clean, large room, and comfy bed. The breakfast staff was friendly and able to keep food stocked and tables clean on a busy Saturday morning. We won't hesitate to tell others to stay there.

"Birthday trip"
We went here for my son's 5th birthday trip. This hotel is very nice and doesn't hurt that it's in a great location. Breakfast is good they switched up the buffet while we was there. The pool was a nice touch I loved that they had a second half for smaller kids it was 2ft, my son loved it. When we come back to st Louis we are definitely booking a room here again.

Hotel is in perfect location to get on I 44 and close to 270. Many restaurants close including Chilis attached to Hotel and Texas Roadhouse you can walk to. Staff is very friendly.

"Serendipitous experience"
My boss and I came across this hotel when the three hotels that our client has corporate rates, with were sold out. I was formerly a meeting planner and have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world (Fairmont, Waldorf, Four Seasons, Halekulani) and I was still very impressed with this little hotel. I am now an interior designer in NYC and I thought the décor was fresh, interesting, and very fun. My client came by and even commented on how nice it looked. The rooms are very tastefully done, comfortable, and very clean. The hotel room carpet was plush and not your typical hotel carpet. It was also very well maintained, as hotel carpets can get sticky when cleaned improperly. The bathrooms do need updating BUT they are immaculate! It's too bad that due to current hospitality trends they need to be renovated, because everything was in perfect condition. The staff was also very gracious and personable. It is a little out of our way from our project, and located in the middle of a parking lot of a mall, but my boss and I agreed that we would love to stay here the next time we are in town.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and thank you so much for your lovely comments about your recent stay with us, especially your professional opinion on our recent upgrades. We are very proud of our new look and delighted that you noticed some of our whimsical and fun pieces.

We anticipate having this portion of our upgrade complete by the end of October. Additionally, we appreciate your compliments to our team - the heart of our property. We look forward to your return visit and your willingness to travel a bit farther away from your project! Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellet hotel very near attractions"
Very good hotel in easy walking distance of lots of attractions. room was clean, lovely shower, excellent staff - I was a little concerned about a three night stay but the area is safe so no worries. Good restaurant attached for breakfast but lotsof eateries within easy walking distance. Parking is expensive if the hotel organise it at $56 per night - but we used 'Loop parks' north of the hotel at $25 for each 24 hour period - drop bags then park - do reverse at check out. Overall a great experience.

"Updated Euro Style Renovation"
Older property with recent "cool blue" Euro style renovation of rooms and common area décor. Baths could use a little sprucing up match rest of property but were well equipped and spotless.

"Best Western Kirkwood"

"Woke up by the pool guys!"
We had been woken up by the pool guys at 6:45 am from there loud talking. Also we found that the pricing given on the 800 Best Western number was not the same as what we found on line at Best Western which is totally ridiculous and they would not honor the price after we found it because we had already checked in. Ho can they offer two different prices when they are the same company!!!!

"Friendly for guests with pets"
All the staff at this hotel made us feel very welcome. This was the first time we traveled with our 20 lb. dog. We were assigned a first floor room with a sliding glass door to the pet-approved area. They gave us a bag with a dog treat, and plastic glove and bag with which to clean up after our dog. At reception, they even offered a pet blanket. The wireless internet was pretty spotty, but we were at the far end of the hall.

The hotel was in a great location with everything you need very close by. There are some great parks in the area too. We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciated the friendly and courteous staff. Great hotel!

"location, location"
This hotel is in a very good location. Close to highway 44 and has a lot of places to eat within walking distance. Very clean hotel and the staff was very helpful. The rooms were clean and well cared for.

Hi Michael, and thank you for the time you took to review your recent stay. We appreciate your business and hope we may be of service in the future. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"That's tough"
When asking about the jack hammering directly above my head. Not distant construction noise. I'm talking rock concert level jack hammering so loud it hurts your ears. The front desk response was to look me dead in the eye and say that's tough. No apology, no hard end time, no response whatsoever. I wish I could upload a video. Stay at your own risk. This was an abysmal situation, and beyond abysmal customer service response.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Dear Mr. Hansen, I am so glad I was able to meet you and apologize personally this morning for the difficulty you experienced. Thank you for your commetns. Regards, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Best Western Kirkwood"
I HIGHLY recommend staying at this hotel. The rooms and the pool were very clean. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic! There are hot and cold breakfast choices. The staff was quite helpful and friendly. We enjoyed meeting Michael and Ashley at the front desk who were quite friendly toward us when checking our family of 14 in.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings and many thanks for your complimentary review of your recent stay! Our front desk team provides legendary customer service to all of our guests and it's wonderful when it's acknowledged. We're delighted that you and your family enjoyed our hotel and amenities. Hopefully, you will revisit us! Best, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Remodeling BEWARE"
This hotel is remodeling and they have no problem putting they're guest right next to the noise of jack hammers in the next room . If you are renting a room to sleep you need to look for another hotel. And the staff is rude when asked if they can keep you away from the noise , they told me they don't know which rooms they are working in .

Greetings and our sincere apologies for the disturbance you experienced during our property upgrade. We hope you will offer us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of product quality and customer service on you next visit to our area. Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Great Location for exploring St. Louis"
My wife and I love to stay here as we visit the numerous antique malls in the area. The Inn is located just off of I-44 and allows easy access to the city, Soulard Market, Busch Stadium and so many great restaurants on the hill.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings! We appreciate your taking the time to review your recent stay and send our collective thank-you's for your kind comments! We hope you'll keep us in mind on your next antique shopping trip to STL! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Wonderful stay"
The hotel was very clean, and the lobby is beautiful. All staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable. We loved the breakfast, which had something for everyone (eggs, bacon, sausage, granola, cereal, yogurt, pancakes, and waffles). The pool was clean and the hotel even provided noodles and balls for the kids to use in the pool.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi! Did you hear the roar of delight from our team just now? Thank you for the wonderful comments about your stay. It's great to hear that we hit all the pistons - and we appreciate your sharing to help other travelers in their lodging decision. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Director of Electrical Services"
I have stayed here before the rooms are clean, bright and roomy. I like the Chill's connected to the hotel, very nice. Easy to find from the highway. There are stores and shops close by. I will stay here again next time I am in the area.
"Good place to stay."
Nice place centrally located. Clean and good helpful staff. Nice amenities and plenty of stores around them, ease to interstate, and places to eat. Check in staff helped my get the maximum discount for the room by asking if I had ARP, military and such. Thank you for that. Reduced room rate by about $20.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and thank you for reviewing your recent stay with us. Your kind comments about our team are appreciated. We hope you will revisit us should you return to the St. Louis area. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Accommodating to pets"
Facility was clean and staff was courteous. Good variety of items for breakfast. Nice having Chili's attached to facility. Accomitations for pets was excellent. Great having sliding door out to grassy area for pets.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Debra, Thanks from the heart for such a wonderful review of your recent stay. We love our 4-footed guests and are pleased you appreciated the pet-friendly conveniences we have in place. Our entire team appreciates you! Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"would DEFINITELY stay here again!"
The staff was fantastic! They were so helpful! I stayed here during a work-trip in May. The room was great. I loved the Hallmark channels (especially the Hallmark Mysteries and Movies.) My room was close to the microwave. The hotel is in front of a shopping mall and it is close to a freeway entrance.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Maryann, Thank you for your lovely review and great comments about our folks. We have an extraordinary team that embraces fun and customer service, and it shows. We look forward to your future visit! Best, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Fit the bill"
We needed a hotel that was off the highway as we were driving from Chicago to Branson. Although the beds have seen better days, it was fine for one night. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was satisfying with eggs, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt and other foods.

"Close to everything (almost)"
The hotel was fine. Breakfast was great, the amenities were standard. We stayed here after completing the KATY Trail and were traveling by bike. It was super convenient to get to food, entertainment, and Target/WalMart - all were in the immediate vicinity. Ideally, we would have stayed closer to the train station, but that was our fault, not Best Western's. Did seem a tad pricey!
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good morning, and thank you for your reviewing your recent stay. The Katy Trail is a magnificent trail and we're so glad you decided to stay with us upon completion. We appreciate your thumbs-up on our breakfast too. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Convenience number 1"
This property is in a great location and very courteous and friendly staff. Easy to get on Hwy 44, shopping, and restaurants nearby. Chili's attached for quick bite either in the room or in the restaurant.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Deirdre and our thanks for reviewing your recent stay with us. We appreciate your thumb's-up on our fantastic team, they truly embody customer service. We hope you have an opportunity to revisit us! Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Excellent Hotel"
By the time we got to St Louis we were getting into our stride in travelling Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. When we arrived at Kirkwood it was already day 4 and 5, where we enjoyed a two night stop over. The first night was spent in and around the hotel as there is loads of eating options across the site within easy walking distance. There is also a large Walmart directly behind the hotel. To explore St Louis on the second day there is a Metro Bus stop right outside the hotel which took us to Shrewsbury and Lansdowne where we boarded the train into the city. We wanted to visit the Mississippi River and Gateway Arch and our stop on the Blue Route was 8th Street and Pine. For the princely sum of a combination ticket of @$6 we were able to explore the city. On return we used the outside pool and this set a pattern for the rest of our trip, as we stayed predominantly in Best Westerns across the States. This was a really good way to relax and cool down as the early summer temperatures in early June were beginning to rocket up through the nineties. Our room was spacious and clean with complimentary breakfast served on the 2nd floor each morning. Reception could not have been more friendly or helpful in assisting us with our queries. We used the laundry which was only a couple of dollars each for the washers and dryers which was a really welcome facility. There is also a bar located on the second floor, but for whatever reason this seemed to lack a little atmosphere. All in all a very good hotel, plenty of facilities with loads of dining options within walking distance. However, a drive through Dunkin Donuts, please, what is that all about?
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Martin! Thanks for your comprehensive review and lovely comments about your stay. It sounds like you had a grand time visiting St. Louis and enjoyed relaxing afterwards at our pool. Your question about our tenant, Dunkin Donuts...it is actually a full walk-in restaurant in addition to their drive-through. A number of our guests enjoy the proximity of their favorite coffee. We hope the remainder of your trip down Route 66 was equally enjoyable. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Dog Friendly hotel near St. Louis"
We needed a hotel overnight while traveling with our two small dogs. This place fit the bill. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. The room was clean (always a concern when you are in a dog-friendly room!) and had a sliding glass door that led out to a small grass area which gave us an option of taking the dogs out and not having to go through the lobby. Breakfast was as expected at 'all inclusive' but clean and with the usual variety. We did not use the pool, but there were plenty of people there. Otherwise, a quiet and easy stay.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us, and your lovely comments! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Everything was great from the staff to the location of hotel. The only improvement that need to be made is breakfast"
But other than that my stay was great if I travel in the St. Louis area again this hotel will definitely be the one for me. It was not a big concern but the room had all the immunities that we were looking for except a microwave
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
We appreciate your comments about your recent stay and thank you for the compliments. We will continue to work on our breakfast offering! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"BW Hotels falling standard"
The appearance of rooms and breakfast has declined in last 7 years. Kids used to be excited for staying at Best Western seems no more interested and thinks that we stay there because it is cheaper. Are not interested in breakfast anymore and prefer home cooked egg and sausage breakfast.
"Over night stay"
We have stayed at best western Kirkwood before, that is why whenever we go to St. Louis we stay at the best western hotel. They always give us great service at arrival, during our stay and upon departure.
"Fantastic Customer Service "
Stayed at the Kirkwood Best Western for 4 day and 3 nights with 3 other family members. Complimentary breakfast was just ok BUT what made a just ok breakfast fantastic was due to one employee in particular, Pamela C. Her attention to detail of the food, the cleanliness of the whole area and the attention she gave to the guest who were present was truly refreshing and made us all happy to be in the company we were in. Thank you Pamela for putting a smile on our face and adding another great memory to our vacation. GO PACK GO! The other staff we encountered were also great and very accommodating. The rooms were fine. There's no microwave, fridge took 24 hours to even get cold, and the sink would squeal every time we turned on the hot water but again, totally worth it all because of the awesome customer service we experienced. Thank you Kirkwood staff!
"Vacation Getaway"
We chose this hotel because it was close to the St. Louis attractions and out of the hustle and bustle. We were pleasantly surprised and glad we picked this hotel. It was perfect. The room was clean and comfortable. It was very quiet in the evenings so it was easy to sleep. The beds were comfortable. The pool was clean and well maintained. Breakfast in the mornings were hot and they offered a wide variety of options. A great way to start the day.
"Friendly staff"
There is ample parking; appears to be a safe area; a good breakfast is provided. We really enjoyed the Chili's restaurant attached to the building. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Our bed was comfortable with soft pillows.

"Great staff, excellent hotel amenities"
Very helpful staff, everything you expect from a hotel. The small bar/lounge had a friendly atmosphere and the restaurant selection around the hotel was great for a family visit. Convenient access to the interstate and the Kirkwood area. The hotel was fully booked but did not have that over-crowded feel, the staff handled everything perfect.

Greetings, and our sincere thanks for such a glowing review of your recent stay! We endeavor to hit all pistons and we're so glad you and your family enjoyed yourselves. We hope you keep us in mind for any future visits to the St. Louis area. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Best deal"
This is a great motel! Close to everything ad presents with a professional look. There is a Chili's inside the motel so you can have a nice meal without leaving the motel. It is very nicely appointed and modern. The price is right. We will definitely stay here again!

"Very nice"
Nice, clean, friendly and great location! I would definitely recommend and stay at this Best Western Hotel again. And if you ride they have special parking by the entrance. The attached Chile's restaurant is just an added bonus. It's also located right off the interstate so you can get right back on the road.

Good Morning Willard, We appreciate your taking the time to review your stay and your lovely comments. Thanks for mentioning our motorcycle parking at our entrance. That and our other ride Friendly amenities are popular with our motorcycle travelers. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Excellent Value"
For the money, you cannot beat this hotel. Well located just west of St. Louis it is close to good shopping and the lovely little downtown of Kirkwood. The rooms are standard, but the beds are very comfortable. And the service, from the front desk to the nice lady who made sure there was plenty of fresh goodies for breakfast, was unbeatable. We've stayed in five star hotels and not had the great and genuine friendly and focused staff as they have here. This would be a great place for a family on a budget vacation.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning, and thank you from the heart for your lovely comments about your stay with us. We truly live hospitality and it's wonderful to see it recognized. We appreciate your taking the time to write your review. Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Pleasantly surprisef"
Nice room, clean, and the staff was pleasant. For me, the location was perfect: close to my friends and not too far out from the center of St. Louis. Breakfast was average but appreciated. I will definitely stay here next time.
"Very comfortable room and good staff"
Made a last minute reservation while having an impromptu visit in Saint Louis. Picked this hotel due to its proximity to Grant's home national historic site. The hotel was very comfortable and the staff was friendly. They provided a 10 percent discount card to Chili's which is directly connected to the hotel.....Very convenient. The breakfast was kept fresh and was good for this type of venue.

"Kirkwood Best Western"
This is a great hotel! We were able to stay for awhile and visit family, while we conducted business as well. The bestfast was very enjoyable. Mostly we used the conference center and internet to help us stay connected to our business. Kirkwood Bestwestern had very relieble internest services. Also the hotle was located near some wonderful places to eat!

"Convenient for a Cardinals game"
I chose this hotel for its location to attend a Cardinal game and shopping. It shares a parking lot with Home Goods and TJMaxx. Chilis is right next door, and so is Dunkin Donuts. The property is older, but nicely remodeled. Our AC was a little noisy, but worked great. We did find items left behind by the previous guests, but I would stay here again for the price and the location.

Hi Sally, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay and your compliments! So sorry about the oversight with your room. We will address that immediately with our quality team. We hope you have the chance to stay with us again. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Reasonable stay"
Average price, nice pool, verycaring hotel staff. But, some people are smoking in some rooms and we can smell it, even thought it's a non smoking facility. But I think they can do so much, to avoid these situation.

"Great Hotel!"
Stayed here over the Memorial Day weekend with my family and have to say this is the best hotel I've been to in a long time! The staff was as nice as they could be and very helpful and the attention to detail was impressive. We come to St Louis every year and usually stay at another local hotel to add to my IHG reward points but that particular hotel was full so Best Western had rooms available and so glad they did. The breakfast every morning was very good and the pool had just opened that week and it was serviced and water tested every day that we were there. The beds we're comfortable and the rooms were very clean. On the nights it rained having Chili's on the first floor made it nice for dinner and the food was very good. Just an overall great experience and will be staying here again in the future.

Hello Steve, What a wonderful way to start off our Tuesday morning - reading your fantastic review of your stay.

This is a very nice hotel. We will stay here again if we come back to the area. The breakfast items were good. Kirkwood is a nice little town. It is also very convenient to Six Flags and downtown St. Louis. Wal-mart is right behind the hotel.

Smart, modern and comfortable, this is a good choice for St Louis. It's very convenient for the I44 and it's in the middle of a shopping area that offers a good choice of restaurants within a short walk. With a good breakfast, good free wi-fi and plenty of parking, I can say very definitely that this is a great place to stay.

"Best place to stay "
I wouldn't stay anywhere else in St Louis. My son and I were in town for the Cubs Cardinals series over Mothers day weekend and stayed here. We have stayed here before when in town, and even though it's been 8 years this place is still top notch. There are many choices for you to get something to eat near the hotel and many of them you can walk to. A super Target and a Walmart right behind the hotel. The hotel is clean the people that work there are great. The beds are very comfortable and if your just hanging out the TV channels they have are the best offered I have ever seen in a hotel.
Cindy B, General Manager at Best Western Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi Bill, Thank you so much for your great comments about our hotel and team! The desk crew loves to see you and your son return year after year to take in the Cardinals-Cubs rivalry. We look forward to your future visits! Best, Cindy Brasseur
"Wouldn't Stay Anywhere Else in St. Louis"
I have stayed at the Beat Western in Kirkwood every time I come to St. Louis and it never disappoints. Always a friendly staff and always cleans and comfortable. Their new remodel has given them a fun updated modern look to boot. They are right in the parking lot of a Target and a Wal mart so if you need anything it's just a hop-skip and a jump away as well as restaurants and a Chillis and bar in the hotel; and on nights we want to go out, downtown is only a quick cab ride.

The hotel was awesome, staffing went above and beyond, management has taken special care to every detail.

We spent Easter weekend in MO and stayed a couple nights at this Best Western hotel. It's clean, the rooms are spacious and the staff couldn't be more accommodating. It's a bonus to be able to talk to several restaurants and stores and the Harley dealer is right down the street. Love it!

"A Great Place to Dream"
From the minute we walked into this hotel I knew it would be a great stay. The ladies at the front desk were delightful to talk to. We were able to check right into our hotel rooms. I was very excited to see how clean the rooms were. As a mother of two little ones, I was comfortable letting them roam around the room without the worry of germs. I would also like to add how comfortable we all felt in the room. My two little ones slept ALL through the night, which NEVER happens. It was a great place to dream...

Wow Margaret...we are all grinning at your subject line. We're thinking of adopting it as our new tag-line, giving you full credit!

"The illusion of "clean""
My husband and I stayed for three days. 5/1-5/4. Room 504. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was as expected for price. We could have given 5 stars if not for one thing. Everything went well until we found several items on the floor next to the bed, that were not ours... including a pair of another guests dirty socks laying on the floor in plain sight. Everything looked like it was just barely brushed behind the skirt of the bed. This ruined the rest of our stay. IF our room was cleaned properly, "house cleaning" would have immediately found these items and I would have never had to touch another guests dirty socks. I'm assuming it isn't hotel policy for house cleaning to check under the beds. I would also assume it isn't policy to vacuum, if it were these items would have been found immediately. The issue, more than likely is a LAZY employee. If the case, did this employee also wash my sheets and pillow cases? My towel and wash rag I used on my face? The bathroom toilet and shower? My remote held in a bag labeled "fresh remote"? Do they have the mind set that if it LOOKS clean to them, then guests won't know the difference? Having to ask those questions ruined the entire experience. The illusion of "clean" is not good enough for me. A hotel that hires employees that are only willing to give an illusion does not deserve any stars. We brought these items to the front desk and asked that they notify management. We never heard from anyone to reassure us we weren't living in filth. If I were management I would want employees that care about paying customers and the future of the business. We checked out today. The Soests
"Our first trip to Missouri "
We checked out This BW on trip advisor and found a great hotel. The check in and check out staff were so personable and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Loved havinga Chilis attached to hotel. We were in a great area and not too far from the arch.

The lobby has been newly remodeled and there is new carpet in the hallways. It looks very nice. Our room had a very small balcony. The hotel is right off of the highway and is within walking distance to Buffalo Wild Wings, White Castle, Dunkin Donuts, Logans, Chilis and Walmart. Good breakfast too.

"BE CAREFUL"
Oh, The hotel is fine-------We stayed there 2 nights. My wife left a $50 bill (forgotten) as we left for the day on the dresser. It was gone when we got back later that day and the maid never saw it. .........I had some money stashed away in my suitcase which I thought no one could find.........After we left I noticed that IT was missing also. With no proof of theft or the amount of money gone, there was nothing I could do. Manager was no help whatsoever when contacted later. I will NEVER stay here again. We are a 70 year old couple and never encountered such a thing before. We were totally ignored. Smartened me up a lot though.

Dear Carl, I am very distressed to read of your experience at our hotel. We take this type of incident very seriously, and as such provide in-room safes at no charge in all of our rooms for guests to store valuable belongings. I am somewhat baffled, because I was never advised of this nor did I speak with you. I have attempted to locate your reservation to no avail. I ask that you reach out to me at (314) 821-3950, extension 222, or via email at cindy@pmihotels.com so we can discuss. I very much hope to hear from you soon.

"Love this hotel!"
This is an incredible hotel for the price. Updated decor with an outstanding staff, and you can't beat the convenience. The hotel itself has a nice little bar, and is also connected to Chili's. Breakfast buffet is better than most. In the same parking lot is a shopping center that includes Wal-Mart, Target, and probably a half-dozen or so restaurants. (The front door is about 20 steps from Dunkin Donuts!) Any time I'm working anywhere near this part of town this is where I stay.

"Excellent value! Modern Decor & Reasonable Rate"
It was only $96 for a very clean, large, quiet hotel room! The front desk clerks were well-trained and check-in was quick, pleasant and efficient. There is the coolest push-a-button pancake maker that works like a copy machine at the breakfast buffet. I will definitely stay there again!

Hi Sharon, Thank you! What a fantastic review of your stay, especially the part about our front desk team :-). We appreciate your business and look forward to wow-ing you again on your next visit. Cindy Brasseur 7 Team BWKI
"Staff service"

"hoped for better"
When we checked in there was pubic hair in sink and bathtub. Drunken party in breakfast area late at night kept us awake. without those experiences it would be just fine. We do the same trip every year and did not have same problems the year before.

"St.Louis best keep secret. Great location easy to find."
wonderful experience, The staff seem to know our needs even before we did. The hotel had a lot of kids staying their for a team event ,the halls and lobby were so quiet.you never knew they were their. The only sad thing was the pool wasn't open however this was due to weather. The breakfast was great eggs,sausage,pancakes,juice and coffee and more.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

"Nice Hotel!"
I stayed at this Hotel with my wife and other Family members. Really enjoyed the hospitality, the stores, restaurants and close proximity to the highway. The hotel was recently remodeled. The bathroom was small. Would stay here again.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hi James. We're so glad you enjoyed reconnecting with family at our hotel recently. We appreciate your kind comments and hope to see you should you return to the St. Louis area. Our Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Best Western? More like Could-be-Better Western!...ok,that was dumb,but still,it was bad!"
Unfriendly desk staff on arrival, lots of hassle, poor air conditioning and alarm clock didn't work in room. No parking close to the building. Uncaring desk staff on departure. At least the bed was comfy and the hotel was clean. Still, i would recommend staying somewhere else where the staff care about their guests. I am a platinum rewards member with Best Western and stay at their hotels all the time, all over the country, this one was definitely sub par.
"Fantastic"
I love everything about the Best Western Kirkwood Inn. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful! My room was very large and had everything I needed and them some, not to mention it was extremely clean. The breakfast was fantastic. There was something for everyone and it was hot and fresh and plentiful.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Kim, Thank you for your breakfast comments in your recent review. We re-visited our menu this year and added a variety of hot items as well as gluten-free selections. It certainly has been a hit. We also appreciate your lovely comments about our clean-team and property. We hope you have a chance to visit us again! Best. Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Always a great stay!"
The staff was pleasant and eager to accommodate my needs. Our meeting room was well-stocked and perfect for our requirements. The room was clean and welcoming. I enjoyed the modern upgrades added in the lobby and meeting room since my last visit. The hotel is easy to find and close to a lot of shopping and restaurants. I will stay again!

"Great Stay at the Best Western Kirkwood Inn in St Louis MO"
The hotel was beautiful, the lobby is all new since our last stay and as before it is a very clean hotel. The staff makes us all feel at home. Gladys at the front desk always a pleasure to visit with. Our meeting room was perfect our hostess Andrea kept the snacks, water & sodas filled for us. In the evening we had a holiday gathering at Van's Tavern our Bartender Sarah was a true delight, very professional & knows how to make a great Bahama mama.(Thank You) - To the GM Cindy, Thank you once again for making our group feel like family you have a truly remarkable staff, great rooms and one of the best hotels I've ever visited.

"Convenient hotel for a clean comfortable room"
The hotel was well located and povided easy parking nearby. There were several restaurants in walking distance. Lots of nearby shopping. Free breakfast was good with a great choice of hot and cold items. Room was clean and had everything we needed.

"Good location "
The hotel was doing some renovations while we stayed there, so when those are complete it'll be a lot nicer. Rooms were clean and it is located near plenty of restaurants and shopping. The free breakfast was good and a nice perk.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning! Thank you for your comments about your recent stay. We are definitely excited to debut the beautiful updates to our hotel. We appreciate your noting that you enjoyed our free breakfast. We've included our menu in the updates we've implemented and it has been received with guest fanfare. Best, Cindy Brasseur and Team BWKI
"Great Route 66 hotel, but noisy room"
We stayed at the St Louis Best Western Kirkwood Inn for one night as part of our Route 66 adventure. The hotel was easy to find off I-44. The hotel was undertaking some refurbishment in the lobby while we were there but it didn't interrupt our stay and they had tucked all the scaffolding etc. away safely. The room, 300, was quite noisy. The water in the bathroom ran almost constantly (it may have been a conduit behind the wall) and the AC fans outside the room door ran all night too. The corridor was nice and cool, but we didn't sleep much! We ate in the Chili's restaurant which was quick and convenient. Good for one night. If we'd been staying longer, we would definitely have changed rooms.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings, and thank you for your review of your recent stay with us. Please accept our heartfelt apologies for inconvenience you experienced during our property upgrade. We hope that you will offer us the opportunity to showcase our product improvement during your next visit to St. Louis. Best, Cibndy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice, quiet stay"
We travel with a dog, so always happy when Best Western will accept pets, not all do.The entry to the room was on the outside which is a plus with a pet. Quiet and had good nights sleep. Friendly staff and helpful with directions to resturants.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings to you and your furry friend! Thanks for the shout-out about our pet rooms and policy. So glad you found our accommodations convenient. We always enjoy meeting our 4-footed guests. Warmly, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Good Value and location"
Near Stages Theater and one of the best steak houses in St. Louis, Citizen Kanes. Also the Magic House in Kirkwood. Our room was very quiet. Loddy is under renovation and will be beautiful. Breakfast was above average and was included. Service was excellent. All in all we were pleased and would return.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review

Wonderful owners and management and support staff.

"St. Louis Wedding Trip"
Very nice room. Needed a second comfortable chair. The bed was extremely comfortable and the hotel was located by Texas Roadhouse, Chili's, Dunkin Doughnuts and Chipotle. Excellent number of handicapped parking available. Easy to connect ti internet and very good speed compared to other hotels we have stayed at.

"Vacation Weekend"
Hotel is close to Kirkwood DT. Only about 15 miles from downtown St Louis. Very active shopping and plenty of restaurants around hotel. Nice access to expressway, safe area. Comes with a decent breakfast selection. Room is spacious and clean, nothing special, smaller TV. Price was OK for the area.

"Yukon better"
The hotel was clean but also undergoing some renovations. It is a little older facility but tidy. Many good restaurants nearby for a quick walk. A little too pricey for what's offered.... pet friendly.
"Best Western Kirkwood Inn, St. Louis"
Excellent lodgings for cross-country travellers with a Siberian Husky. The staff considerably eased the St. Louis trip segment of our fairly arduous journey, and the accommodations were quite comfortable.
"Great Night's Stay"
This property is nothing out of the ordinary, it's a parking lot hotel. But relatively, the location was excellent,lot's af restaurants and historic Kirkwood nearby. The staff was excellent, very helpful and friendly, and the room was excellent, clean and comfortable. We were very satisfied with our stay. I'd definitely stay here again.

"Cobwebs, clogged shower drain and poor breakfast"
Traveling with kids and dog. Check in was okay, but the staff was not helpful when asked where I could walk my dog. The woman who checked me in simply said there is grass right outside the sliding glass door, or you could walk it around the parking lot. In the middle of summer? Hmmm. . . seems like the dogs pads will get burned. Pool was great and by all appearances was clean and well cared for, but did not have towels stocked. (This was the best part of our stay). I would have rated this hotel poor, but the pool was great. And Dunkin' Doughnuts in the same parking lot saved breakfast! The room at first seemed clean. But the corners by the ceiling had huge cobwebs and the drain in the shower did not drain properly leaving you to stand in 2-3 inches of filth as you showered. It is hard to believe that the shower was properly cleaned and the drain issue went un-noticed. When I asked the front desk if someone could come clear the clog, they said they would send someone down, soon. 30 minutes later, I asked again. She said she would send another woman down with a plunger. A plunger? You can't clear a shower clog with a plunger. Of course it didn't work. The only offer I got was to move us to another room. (It was 9:00). With the dog kennel set up, and 2 kids already in bed I declined, but suggested they have someone walk across the parking lot to the Lowes behind them and buy a drain snake, or weasel to keep at the hotel. I have a feeling there were more clogged drains than just mine. When I declined the room, the front desk employee said, "I will be sure to tell the day crew, okay?" Really? You might tell the manager to better train his/her staff, as well. The next day, I went to the breakfast area to "scope" out the food. I left thinking "thank God there are other options outside the hotel" because the food looked like it had seen more than one day in the serving pans.

"GREAT PALCE TO STAY FOR ALL ACTIVITIES"
Had a lot of fun in St. Louis. This was a pretty good location for some of the activities in St. Louis. Were several restaurants within walking distance. We stayed two nights and ate at Texas Roadhouse both nights. Was great. Also did laundry while there. Nice laundry facility. Breakfast was awesome. A lot of extra little things.

This was a very nice motel even though I was leery of a high rise building. The staff overall was very attentive and nice. The swimming pool was well-maintained. The breakfast room staff was excellent and very friendly. They need a tip container for the ladies.

"Impressed for a first time BW use."
This was the first time we have tried BW as a Hotel Brand. When choosing it , we immediately liked its location (just 20 minutes from St.Louis--and its direct access to highway) and also liked the proximity of all shops and restaurants close buy. The area is a great area to stay in if your driving. It has free parking on -site and a great outdoor poll (well kept and spacious 3 to 9ft deep end) The hotel is well kept and clean. Considering the lobby and ground floor were undergoing renovations(almost completed) while we were there, one would not notice it, for it was all under control. We made use of the laundry room . It has a washer and dryer (which work perfectly). Their breakfast room is well located on 2nd floor and the breakfast offered is very good. We particularly liked our room on 6th.floor with a small balcony. Beds are very comfortable and all is clean). All items in room were in perfect working order (TV, WI-FI, bathroom, lights, etc.). The staff was very gracious (from Front-Desk to Housekeeping). This was a great first impression for this Hotel brand. We will consider it and seek it for future travels. Thank you to all at the BW Kirkwood Inn, for making our stay in St.Louis an enjoyable one.

"Lobby Renovations"
I took my father on a trip to st louis for the weekend and we stayed at the kirkwood inn, I was veryyyyyy concerned on how things would go because He is picky and when I seen the lobby I thought uh ohh..but we got to our rooms and he thoroughly enjoyed his room was clean and he had no complaints about noise...SUCCESS! lol but really it was nice we ate at the chilis located on 2nd floor , that was also very pleasant, There is also a PUB that is very clean and awesome big screen TVs to watch Olympics. The breakfast was the only minor complaint I had, it was 9:15 when I left my room to go eat and the ladies were bringing like one cup of eggs, 6 biscuits ( I had 2), they were super hard, and small handful of the microwave bacon which ran out in 5 mins, also the pancake maker said "call distributor for assistance"..very strange they knew it was out but one just stood around watching people. Thankfully there was cereal, yogurt, toast, milk. None of the staff seemed stressed or over worked though, they even have night time hskp so if you need help with something they are there. They have small Balconies with each room for fresh air! and the pool is large and clean. Walmart next door, good restaurants, Not once did I feel unsafe ---

"Family favorite"
Very good value. Lobby recently renovated. Nice facility, friendly staff. Many chain stores (Target, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc) and restaurants nearby. Can visit bar and restaurant without going outside. Convenient to St Louis attractions. Grandchildren loved the pool. I've stayed in many Best Westerns, and this is one of the best.

"Ball game stay"
Wife booked us a room for my surprise birthday to the cardinals game. Hotel was clean. Breakfast was amazing! Bed & pillows were super comfortable. Room was spacious. Shower was big and towels and toiletries was better than standard. Cold Fridge and microwave. Coffee pot not great but hotel room pots rarely are. Coffee at breakfast bar was very good. Didn't get to use pool or exercise room but they looked nice. Right off freeway for easy access to game. About 15 miles south of Busch Stadium

"Best Western Kirkwood, MO"
When checking in the three employees present at the time seemed more interested in counting money or other activities than serving check in customers. The breakfast, while offering a wide variety of items, had numerous items that were out by 8:30. This included orange juice, pancake mix, french toast, water, etc. Perhaps when this hotel is finished with remodeling it will be a much better place, but it will take a revamping of staff also.

"Great Place to Staay on Family Vacation"
Very family friendly atmosphere. Nice, clean, and comfortable rooms with little to no noise from the hallway. Easy access from the interstate and nearby to the places we wanted to visit. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast selections were plentiful and of good quality. No one left for the day still being hungry. The pool was fun for the kids. No whirlpool or hot tub here though. Rates were competitive for the area. We enjoyed our stay at this location and would recommend this hotel to other families visiting the Saint Louis area.
"Great for meeting basic needs and getting some sleep."
Best Western is an every-day brand and it met the expectations that it sets out to. That said, this particular property was the same price as a local IHG property (I think it was a Holiday Inn of sorts) that typically offers more of a sense of luxury for the same rate. The staff were friendly. The room was large and mostly clean, but dated and definitely ready for some renovation or upgrades. The beds were a nice size and we slept well, but those mattresses could be updated too. They are working to renovate the lobby so kudos to them, but if we hadn't been recommended to stay here as part of a group reservation, it would never have been my first choice. No late checkout option. We got a safe bed to sleep in and AC that worked. In that sense, our expectations were met. This is the perfect place for an overnight rest if you're not seeking amenities and just need to pull off the road and get some sleep.
"My ballpark choice"
The Kirkwood Best Western is my choice when I drive to St. Louis for a Cardinals game. Driving 6 hours from Oklahoma, it's just off the first exit past 270 and 3 exits from the Metrolink. Ride the Metro for 5 dollars a person round trip to the ballpark. Breakfast is good the next morning. Pool is convenient if I want.
"Excellent Stay"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Kirkwood Inn. The hotel was VERY quiet! Our room was very clean which something that we always are super picky about. The bed was really comfortable. We also ate at the adjoining Chili's and used the 10% discount the hotel gave us. It was really great to be able to walk through the hotel to a nice restaurant instead of having to drive after a long day of traveling.
"Great option while on the road"
Good, clean, well-priced, good location. We had a very easy stay here while on a road trip. Didn't try the restaurant, but nice that it has something convenient. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
"The Best Place to Stay"
I have the most amazing time when I stay at this hotel. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The manager is engaged. The location is great. I give this hotel my highest possible recommendation! Great Hotel!
"Excellent hotel"
The front desk employee was very nice and courteous. The bar was very clean, and affordable! The restaurant was really good and we had little to no waiting. The pool was heating and very clean. The beds were very comfortable.
"We had a great stay!"
Yes, the lobby is being renovated but it didn't interfere with our check-in or moving about the hotel. Stayed here with my family for two nights. The hotel was very quiet, room was clean, the beds were comfortable, our breakfast was great. Several restaurants and shopping were all within walking distance. Great location being close to the highway and we got to all of our destinations within 30 minutes. We enjoyed the pool and the discounts we got at the restaurants, would stay here again if we ever come back to visit.

"Best Western, Kirkwood"
IT's a clean facility with a friendly staff and a decent hot, free breakfast.There's a small bar and a Chili's restaurant on the site. It's a good central location, especially if you don't want the parking hassle of trying to stay downtown.

Hi Keith, Being only minutes from downtown and being free of parking quandaries is one of our strong selling points, in addition to being blocks from historic downtown Kirkwood.

"Fantastic people work at this hotel"
After a horrible experience at another hotel we called Best Western to see if they had a room available for us. Michael at the front desk was so helpful, getting us booked in a room and answering all of our questions. We had positive experiences with so many hotel staff members, thanks to everyone. Our room was clean and in good condition. The breakfast was well maintained with quiet a few options, additionally it was really convenient to have a restaurant/bar on site. The hotel is located within walking distance of Wal-Mart (it's across the parking lot) and several other shops and restaurants. We had a great experience and we recommend this hotel to anyone!
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello and thank you for your wonderful comments about our team, and specifically Michael. We firmly believe that it's our folks that make the difference in our guest's experience. We appreciate you noting that. Thank you for your business and we hope you get a chance to stay with us again. Stay cool this summer! Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Old, run down, over priced and unsafe."
This place is a mess. The lobby is undergoing a face lift but the rooms need it more. The service needs to be more pleasant and responsive and security needs to be tighter. I was verbally accosted multiple times when I arrived in the early morning hours of July 16th by three men in front of the hotel...and the front clerk did nothing. I was awoken, after getting in at 2:30am, at 8am by loud screaming and yelling by young teenagers from a tour group running up and down the halls and shouting to each other, and this was even while I was wearing earplugs...an experience that was repeated that night at 10pm. The room was musty and old and the rug was sticky. The sheets were rough and uncomfortable and the bed was broken down. This was not even close to what I would expect for a Best Western or at this price point. It was awful.
Scott P, Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Ryann G, Thank you very much for the feedback of your recent stay at our hotel. I am very disappointed that we did not exceed your expectations, and I will be personally working with our team members to address the issues you have brought forward. As you noted we are currently working on an upgrade in the lobby, and will be addressing items in our rooms later this year. We hope that if you are returning to the area that you will give us another opportunity to provide great service and accommodations. Make it a Great Day! Scott P Director of Operations
"Not Worth the Money"
I would rate the quality of this hotel in the $65-$85 price range. At $125, I felt it wasn't worth it. The mattress was old and soft, with a dip in the middle which I kept rolling into. The breakfast was not at good as others I have experienced. For instance, they advertise fresh fruit, but only offered apples and oranges. The food was not very good either. On the other hand, the staff was very friendly and courteous, and the hotel was very quiet.
Scott P, Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Cynthia H, Thank you very much for the feedback in regards to your recent stay at our hotel. I am very sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We review all reviews and customer feedback with our entire team and hotel ownership, in an effort to better our service and accommodations. It is great to hear that our team was friendly and courteous, but it is disheartening to hear that our accommodations fell short. we hope that if you are in the area again you will give us another opportunity to provide the service and accommodations that you have come to expect from Best Western properties. Make it a Great Day! Scott P
"Affordable comfort in a convenient location"
I'm actually from Kirkwood, MO (where this Best Western is located) but recently relocated out-of-state. I needed to return to St. Louis for business and decided to give this hotel a try. I am glad I did. Located within walking distance of Target, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Sports Authority and several fast food and eat-in restaurants (Sonic, Chipotle, Dunkin Donuts, Chili's and more), this hotel offers free parking with convenient highway access and provides a surprisingly spacious and quiet room. Room darkening curtains make for restful sleep. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Room was clean and each room has a sliding glass door and balcony. There is a blow dryer in the bathroom, a mini refrigerator, a coffee maker and safe in each room. Television reception was excellent. There is a swimming pool, free wifi, complimentary breakfast, and a business center for printing boarding passes. Staff was friendly and welcoming and accommodated my request for a room away from vending machines and elevator noise. The only reason I didn't give a five star rating is because towels are a bit thin, toiletries provided so-so, and I didn't see a recycling bin in the room (so not sure if this hotel recycles). Definitely recommend and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Just a great place, the best staff in the worldalways helpful and waiting to serve you, the two women who work in the breakfast room in the morning are just great, the guys who take care of the pool are great

"This hotel does not understand that they are in the hospitality business."
On June 23, 2016 I called them at 10:15am. We needed an immediate check-in for a family emergency involving child endangerment. We explained this to the hotel. They had a room, but early check-in was not available. I reserved the room, explaining if I could find other accommodations I would call back. I was able to find other accommodations (with an immediate email confirmation and early check-in). At 10:28am, I called Best Western Kirkwood back (I have these records on my phone), and the representative answering remembered having just spoken to me. She said, "OK, I'll cancel it for you". I do not remember her giving me a cancellation number. Subsequently, Best Western Kirkwood told me that, unlike other hotels, they do not send email follow-ups for reservations or cancellations by phone. I just received my credit card statement with a charge for one night's stay. I called Best Western Kirkwood and the representative took a detailed report and said someone would call me back. Today, a new representative of Best Western Kirkwood, called to say that without a cancellation number or person's name, they could not help us. Buyer beware .... If you deal with this hotel, get names, numbers, and email back-up. They are not interested in serving you otherwise. We have had to pursue this matter with Best Western Corporate because, evidently, no one is in charge at Best Western Kirkwood until Monday.
"Great place, awesome staff!!"
I stayed here on our last minute trip to St. Louis. Great location in a very nice area. Convenient to I-44 and halfway between downtown and Six Flags. The front desk staff was always friendly and very accommodating. Gave great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. Only knock would be not receiving any wash cloths when our room was cleaned two days in a row. But, when I called the front desk, I was brought some within the next 10 minutes each time. It is currently having some remodeling done, just in the lobby, I believe. But we never had any problems with noise or anything. Great pool for the kids. Very nice continental breakfast on 2nd floor. Hotel is also attached to a Chili's restaurant for convenience, with a Dunkin' Donuts just outside the lobby across the parking lot. Would definitely stay here again!!
Scott P, Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Kerry D, Thank you for reviewing our hotel on Tripadvisor.com.

"Great and clean place to stay!"
Best Western Kirkwood Inn is always a great and clean place to stay. We stay here every time we visit St. Louis. We love everything about this hotel. Highly recommend! Comfortable beds. Quick check-in and express check-out. The service is always helpful and friendly. The price is a good value for the money. The location is great, as there is easy access to Highway 44 and 270.

"Six Flags/ Visit with relatives"
I stayed at this Best Western for two nights, and all in all my stay was very pleasant. The staff was friendly, yet professional. I'd had a problem with my credit card and they helped calm me. After clearing up the issue, I checked into my room and found it to be clean, quiet, nice and the decor pleasing to the eye - comfortable and homey. The bed was comfortable enough for me to get a decent nights sleep. It was also quiet; just what I wanted. I liked the hand held shower and decided I want one. The pool water temperature was warm and inviting. I liked the close proximity to shopping (Walmart, Target, Burlington, TJ Maxx and so on) and dining (Chillis, Texas Roadhouse, White Castle, Dunkin Donuts and so on)and the fact it's on the public transportation line. I highly recommend staying here and will do so the next time I go to St. Louis. Very nice hotel

"Under Construction ( Buyers Beware)"
Stayed at Kirkwood, Missouri Best Western. We walked in to a total disaster. They were remodeling hotel and you had to walk very cautiously. We had a problem with our room and the service desk lady was nice and gave us another room. The person that was supposed to clean the room was upset and made it seem like it was our fault. The sink was full of dirt. It is a great location. We were able to go toTarget and several other stores within walking distance. Hopefully they will address this problems.
"kirkwood mo best western"
best western kirkwood is very comfortable & easily accessible from major highways. there are restaurants and various shops within the hotel and also within walking distance of the hotel. the elevators are in close proximity to the main desk making it easy when moving your luggage.
"Great experience"
Our room was clean, all of the staff was very friendly and very helpful regarding our multiple questions about things to do locally, and the breakfast was always great. The kids had a blast swimming. We will definitely stay there again next time we come to St Louis.
"Pedaling Past Our Sixties"
Very accommodating staff, pleasant room, convenient to Missouri Runner train station. Kirkwood is a charming place to visit, with many interesting local shops which we enjoyed perusing before our supper at a nearby Chili's Restaurant. Breakfast was about average.
"Short Biz Trip"
Great Location. Lots of food options in the area. Friendly staff, clean room, well kept facility. Pool was in great condition. If ever in St Louis again, I will for sure consider staying here again. It was a great Stay
"Nice but"
Overall the stay was good. The beds need replacement but the rooms are good size, clean and well appointed. The breakfast are was clean, well maintained and stocked, but needed a bit more in each area. Parking was sufficient and location was good for general access and local shopping.
"Best for OTSL Stays"
Close, convenient, caring are qualities that one finds in the Kirkwood Inn Best Western Hotel, St Louis. It is very close to the theatre for summer opera in the Missouri city, connection is easy by car, and the staff could not be better in its care and charm. Our second summer visit was equal to the initial one, made last summer. Highly recommended.
"Road Trip to SD"
This Best Western hotel was a welcome sight after 18 hours on the road. The beds were comfortable and both myself and my son enjoyed a very well deserved sleep. Our dog was welcome and received a little doggie bag.
"Best Western Kirkwood Inn"
Maybe the nicest, cleanest swimming pool ever found in a hotel! Very easy access to lots of places to dine and various major attractions are also fairly close. Major remodeling is almost complete, providing a very modern, almost brand-new facility.
"Better options in town"
The room was very dated and not what i expected. Ill just stick to my Hilton garden inns from now on. The bed also wasn't very comfortable. Breakfast was the only good thing about the stay. The internet was very slow and didnt work half the time.
"Clean and pleasant stay"
This was second time staying here while attending a Cardinal's ball game. It's located right off I-44 with a mall close by and plenty to eat within walking distance. Rooms are very well kept, but beds could be a little softer. The update of elevator's and lobby area didn't really detract from hotel and work areas were kept fairly clean so you didn't walk thru dirt and rubbish. Will be back again!
"Great hotel"
My husband and I stayed here for a mini vacation. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. It has a good breakfast as well as an on site Chili's. It also has a great bar with a friendly bartender. All the front desk staff is great and very friendly. My next trip to the games I will be staying here again.
"Beautiful Hotel with all conveniences"
This Best Western has it all. Beautiful lobby, nice rooms with good WiFi and comfortable beds. A bar and a Chili's Restaurant just a walk upstairs. Great breakfast and even though its just off the interstate and has a walmart, target and Lowes home improvement right in back rooms are quiet.
"Girlfriend getaway"
First trip to St Louis. Very happy with hotel. Very clean quiet and comfortable. Location is just off interstate, making it very easy to get around. Nice breakfast. My only real negative is that the bathroom is very small. Would not deter me from returning. Staff very friendly.
"pleasantly surprised!"
We really enjoyed our two-night stay! Beautifull exterior, great location near restaurants & shops, lovely modern decor. Very friendly staff. Usually we stay at large Marriott or Doubletree hotels but this smaller hotel was much quieter and relaxing. The free breakfast was the best one we have experienced-hot dishes, fresh foods, very clean area.
"On the road to Chicago"
It's on the west side of StL, so allow for rush hour traffic if you're headed to Chicago. The room was comfortable and clean, and the Wi-Fi worked flawlessly. The 2nd fl. walkway used to lead to a funky dive restaurant, but it's now a Chili's. You get a 10% discount, but if Chili's is not to your taste, I recommend Steak and Rice, a decent Chinese restaurant 2 blocks north.
"Clean room that was showing its age"
The Site was a ways off the main interstates. The reservation we made on line and charged our credit card right away, and when we tried to change the booking to use the Best Western gift card the process was challenging. The main check in area was pleasant and the elevators worked well. Once in the room it showed its age in spots but overall all things worked and it was clean. The staff where friendly during our stay as needed.
"Favorable hotel, cordial location."
Nice, clean, comfortable feeling hotel that has the decor of a more up scaled lodging. Hotel is conveniently located right off Rt 44 on Lindberg ave (historic Rt 66). Loved the small bar/lounge located on 2nd floor. Room was good size (bathroom a little small) with walk out balcony. King bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows. 8 blocks north (W.Argonne Dr) there is a very popular "upscale" Pub (Billy G's) that serves great food with an outside deck. Highly recommended by the locals. 3 blocks west of the Pub is an attractive county park ( Walker Lake) with walking trails. This area of Kirkwood is a pleasant quiet section of older homes away from the bustle and traffic of the Rt 61/ Rt 44 area. This was an enjoyable stop on our way to Branson, MO.
"Wonderful"
Had a great time. Well located in St. Louis, MO for business and pleasure. Restaurant and lounge are terrific, and Breakfast service is first class. We slept well, quiet, and shopping was within walking distance. What more could you ask?
"Sensational service"
Yet another great stay at a Best Western hotel. The gentleman at the front desk was professional and exceptionaly helpful, he also offered some helpful tips on places to visit in St Louis - Budweiser brewery was greatly appreciated. All aspects of the service that we received were appreciated. There is a bar and restaurant attached to the hotel. Whilst this hotel is approx 9 miles from the city it is an easy drive as the freeway is only minutes down the road giving you easy access to Forest park and the zoo (free admittance). Great stay.
"Lack of Customer Service"
The hotel and room are great but the front desk person, Gladys, needs to get additional training in customer service I'm afraid. She was not friendly and never showed any concern for us, the paying guests of the hotel. And yes, I did express my feelings to Best Western in their survey.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Dear Yuki: Thank you for your review of your recent stay, and yes - we have received and communicated through our survey process. I am sorry that Gladys was perceived as uncaring, as she attempted to accommodate your early check in request for a specific room location which was unfortunately not available when you arrived. We appreciate your Platinum Best Western Rewards status and your loyalty to our brand. Our team extends our collective apology for the dissatisfaction with your stay. Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Good stay"
Hotel grounds were nice, it was cool to have a Chili's connected to the hotel. Rooms were nice and clean, bathroom was a little dated. Breakfast had a nice variety, probably the best I've seen. Staff were very friendly.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Happy Friday! Thanks for your lovely comments about your stay, from our breakfast to our awesome team. We appreciate your taking the time to review your stay and hope that you will revisit should your travels bring you back through St. Louis. Best! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Great location!"
Staying in Kirkwood was great for visiting St. Louis. It wasn't a long drive to anywhere we wanted to go. The hotel is right in the middle of a shopping center/area so there are plenty places to eat or shop. The hotel gives (unlimited) 10% discount coupons to Chili's (which is attached to the hotel) and Texas Roadhouse which is just across the parking lot. We ate at both of these and enjoyed Chili's best, but our favorite place is O'Charley's which is also across the parking lot next to Dunkin Donuts. We had some trouble with the baby crib and our door lock and the front desk was very quick to send someone to fix these issues. The breakfast buffet was nice and clean, but was missing a few things. The first day they had scrambled eggs and a potato hash, but the other days it was just an egg patty and sausage patty. Each day they had biscuits and gravy and make your own pancakes with some interesting toppings that they kids liked. They were missing waffles and cut up fruit (they only had apples, bananas, & oranges). We got plenty to eat so we really shouldn't complain. Would definitely stay again.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Hello Brenda, We appreciate your great comments about your stay with us - thank you! We truly celebrate when we hear that our guests have enjoyed their stay, for that's our service mission. We're glad you'll keep us in mind the next time you come through St. Louis! Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Ants In the Bathroom"
The staff during check-in were very friendly and accommodating. I thought this location was very convenient to restaurants and the highway, and that was a plus for me. Overall this hotel was fine until I recognized the ants crawling all over the bathroom the morning I was checking out (I only stayed one evening). When I reported it to the front desk they told me they would get right on it, but I was leaving so it didn't really mattered. There were no apologies for such a disgusting experience, so I know where not to stay next time.
Cindy B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Dear Ms. Wilmot: Again, my sincere apologies for your experience at check out due to the situation with your room. Indeed, we should have acknowledged and apologized immediately. I have reviewed your comments with our entire front desk team and emphasized the importance of a sincere apology to accompany our assurance that we will address the problem immediately. And please let me assure you that we have addressed the issue with the ants in the room you occupied. I hope you will offer us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of both customer service and product quality should you return to pour area. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur General Manager
"Excellent Stay"

From now on I will always seek out Best Western. From start to finish, smooth as silk. Enjoyable. Reassuring. Can't recommend more highly. Exceptional cordiality. Efficiency beyond compare. No complaints whatsoever in any way, shape or form.

"One night for business trip"
The Best Western in Kirkwood was clean and the employees were attentive. The hotel could use an upgrade for sure. My bed was lumpy but sheets were clean. Cheaper than the nearby Hampton Inn. Wouldnt be my choice always but not bad if you want to save a few bucks. Oh, breakfast was good but smaller selection than some hotels.

"I do not understand this question"
Great stay, great room great staff hotel looked fine nice carpets in the hall. The only improvement would be the size of the bathroom ours was very small and hard to get two people in and out of it. The breakfast was ok not the may favorite. We did not eat in the Chili's but it smelled great. The location was fine and easy to find.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings Wayne, Thank you sharing your experience at our hotel. We appreciate your compliments on our property and team.

We hope you will stay with us again when visiting the STL area. Best, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Enjoyed ourselves"
Great friendly staff, great location, good parking, clean rooms and comfortable beds. We were choosing between this one and another hotel nearby and we are happy that we chose this one and would stay here again. Good rates. Out of St. Louis downtown but we took a Uber and were there in 10 min.

"Clean, friendly, convenient "
First impression is everything. The entry is gorgeous and Andrea at the front desk is a doll! She was so pleasant to our family and that is added value! Our room was noce. This isn't a super new hotel, but it has new furnishing and paint. Hot breakfast, attached Chili's, and heated swimming pool. Also right next door to target, walmart, and dunkin donuts! Great for families. We were traveling with 2 kids and one in a wheelchair. Accessible bathroom is not very big, so don't expect lots of space there. The room has enough space for wheelchair. Comes with a fridge! It is not extravagant, but we would definitely stay here again.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon - and thank you for such a fantastic review of your recent stay with us. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and that Andrea made such a wonderful impression on you!

"Be aware: smoke-friendly, not smoke-free"
Hotel claims to be smoke-free. We were disappointed with strong cigarette smoke smells in our room, halls and from outside our patio door (on 4th floor). Hotel claims to be smoke-free but hosted local Pipe Club, who posted paper ads on elevator walls to sell pipes and smoke smells came into our room from hallway very strongly which disturbed our sleep and gave us headaches. Then someone sprayed very strong air freshener which we could smell in our room. After our complaint, manager reimbursed our room and said the Pipe Club would not be allowed to return next year, but local ordinances DO allow smoking on each room's balcony. Also, lots of noisy cars revving motors and driving on heavy traffic street outside.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings Ms. Madsen, I again offer my most sincere apologies for the disturbances you experienced. We have personally communicated by telephone, email and our brand survey regarding your overnight stay with us, I ask that you not consider our apologetic response in each of these communiques to be lessened by repetition. I also wish to note that we are indeed a non-smoking hotel, which observes the municipal ordinances of the city of Kirkwood. I thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention and allowing me the opportunity to address them. Our entire team works very hard to provide the absolute best in product quality & customer service for our guests. We will use this isolated event as an educational tool in our group booking process. Cordially, Cynthia Brasseur General Manager
"Nice atmosphere, welcoming."
This hotel falls into my affordable and good value category and to be honest they are punching above their weight. The staff are friendly and welcoming and there is a generally friendly feel about the hotel. The room was comfortable, the buffet breakfast was OK. The gym is small but is well equipped and again – has a nice feel about it. Would I go back – yes.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Morning Colin, Thank you so very much for your great review of our hotel. We absolutely love your "punching above their weight" observation!

"weekend in Kirkwood"
I highly recommend this hotel if you are in the Kirkwood area. I needed a hotel close to the facility where my mom is receiving care and this Best Western is within a short car ride away. So close to shopping, attractions, interstates, airport and quaint Kirkwood.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Morning Sandra, Thanks so much for your "thumbs-up" review of our hotel! We are pleased that you found your stay enjoyable during your visit to your Mom.

Best Wishes, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Nice Stay close to everything"
I checked reviews of places to stay close to Kirkwood and the Best Western reviews stood out and I didn't regret getting a reservation there for the night. It was what I needed, within walking distance of multiple restaurants and close to where I wanted to be to take care of my business.

"Good place to stay with pets"
First floor rooms have sliding glass door leading outside which is convenient with pets. Bathroom small and outdated. Good location close to stores and highways. $10 fee per pet which did not show up on my reservation.. I will only stay here if I have my dogs with me.

"Very Nice Best Western"
We stayed here after a long trip from Detroit, Michigan. This place is very nice. The room was clean and quiet. They offer a 10% discount for Chili's Restaurant next ti the hotel which was excellent to eat at. We liked this place a lot and would stay here again. One of the better Best Westerns !

Greetings on this sunny Friday Morning! Thank you for reviewing our hotel and your stay in such a complimentary fashion. We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us. Should you ever find yourselves traveling south from Detroit, we hope you'll drop in and stay with us again. Best! Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"lesiure time"
Had a good time but they didn't take my AMEX gift cards. The guy at the front desk was apologetic about it. We slept thru the free breakfast. The bartender was very friendly. We would return to this place again.

Greetings Robert, I'm sorry for the difficulty in processing your gift cards. We will certainly follow up with our processor to get to the bottom of that issue. We're glad you enjoyed your stay however and happy to know that you will consider us again for your future visits to St. Louis! All the best in the coming new year... Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Just right"
I typically stay here when I go to St. Louis for a Cardinal game, but this trip was different. I wanted to get a jump on the weather for my return home after visiting family for Christmas. I called, reserved the room and was greeted when I arrived. Excellent room, timely breakfast in the morning, and express check-out. What more can you want?

Hotel was very clean and staff was very courteous. Greated us each time we passed them. We will stay here again next time we stay in St. Louis. Access is easy and close to restaurants. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

"I always stay at the Kirkwood inn when in St. Louis"
Great location, balcony rooms, good little pub! I always have a good stay! I would recommend to any business or family traveler. Super convenient to major highways. Kirkwood is a neat little area and most of my customers are right down the road.

"Average, with friendly staff."
I stayed here with my daughter last weekend, and it was fine. The room and bathroom were both clean, and the woman at the front desk was very sweet. (She went out of her way to speak to my talkative 3-year-old). The hot breakfast is not great, and the sleeping situation was not very comfortable because of huge pillows and extremely light blankets. Instead we turned up the heat. The rooms all have no smoking signs but someone was clearly smoking in their room. We didn't complain about it because we didn't spend much time there. It was an average stay. The price was very good. In a pinch, we would stay here again.

"OK"
It was OK. The location was really the best part. Although quite a bit farther from downtown than we expected, it turned out to be quite alright. The room was pretty nice, but it didn't have a microwave in the room.

Good Morning, and thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay. We appreciate your comments and hope you enjoyed your visit to St. Louis. Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"cross country"
Just need to fix bathroom sink - plug was not attached, would not hold water. If you did get the plug in to hold water, you could not get it out! You could hear people in other rooms - walls must not be insulated well. Comfortable bed, nice clean room, good breakfast, pleasant personnel.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
hi Helen, Thank you for your comments about your recent stay. Would you be so kind as to drop me an email with the number of the room you occupied? We want to make sure that we got that sink drain fixed. My email address is cindy@pmihotels.com. We appreciate your compliments and hope you will keep us in mind on your next cross country trip! Sincerely, Cindy Brasseur & Team BWKI
"Friendly, accomodating staff"
This is a great hotel and an especially great Best Western: rooms are large, have a lot of amenities, are very clean, affordable and the Kirkwood location is convenient for west and south coubty access. Staff is all A+++

"Great stay "
I only stayed one night but really enjoyed it. The hotel is located near many restaurants and has a Chili's. The breakfast and fitness center are great. Customer service is good. I will be back next time I am in town.

"Comfortable stay"
Needed place for close proximity to family living in Kirkwood area. This hotel was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Location was perfect for our needs between Kirkwood, Worsen Woods and Webster Grove.

"Kirkwood"
Excellent hotel with pet friendly rooms available. great locations. Nice hotel bar. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Close to Kirkwood City Center, Sunset Hills, and Crestwood. Interstates nearby. Lots of shopping available nearby. We are former Saint Louis County residents, so we are familiar with the area. We will stay here again should the need arise.

Hi Robert, We appreciate your rave review of your stay with us as well as our area description.

"Another great stay"
Stopped back at this hotel on a recent business trip. This location does not disappoint, and i will continue to stay here in the future. All of the staff are extremely friendly, and there is a chilis on site which is extremely convenient.

"Good hotel for the price"
The Best Western Kirkwood is a great hotel for the price. Really good location, hotel is exceptionally clean and the staff, especially the front desk staff, are really friendly. Free breakfast and in-room wi fi is a nice touch.

Happy Monday Morning Bonni, Sincere thanks for the wonderful review of your stay and our hotel. We treasure our guest's comments and appreciate the time you took to share your experience. Our Very Best Wishes, Cynthia L. Brasseur General Manger
"All show and no go!!!!"
These rooms are very small. Bathroom has a shelf over the toilet and sink next to it, no room for anything. Should be priced under a hundred, not over. Bed had a huge sunk in area and tub would not drain! Lobby looks nice and it has a Chiles Restaurant attached (All show and no go). I'm not sleeping in the lobby or eating at Chiles while in St Louis, Are you? For the money stay somewhere else!
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Greetings Dan, My sincere apologies that we did not meet, nor exceed your expectations.

I can only hope that you will offer us another opportunity in the future. Sincerely, Cynthia L. Brasseur General Manager
"Nice hotel"
This hotel was clean and nice. We didn't know the area well, and always a little worried about the neighborhood in an unknown city. This hotel was in a great area with lots of nice restaurants nearby, including the Chili's attached to it! We'd stay here again!
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Denise - thank you! Folks travelling often wonder about the neighborhood they have chosen to stay and your description helps other travelers in their decision process. We so appreciate your lovely comments about our hotel and hope you will think of us the next time you visit St. Louis. Best Wishes, Cynthia L. Brasseur General Manager
"My Stay @ BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn"

"Great Stay"
Was very pleased with this Best Western. They have a restaurant and lounge attached to the hotel. Located near lots of shopping if needed. It had easy access to gas and other amenities. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again if we pass through this way.

"Hotel"
The service was very good. The bathroom was small and the tub took forever to drain, it is bad when you have 4 people who need to shower. I reported it and they looked at it but did not fix it. The pool was outside and could have been warmer.
Cynthia B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Kirkwood Inn, responded to this review
Good Afternoon Donald, We appreciate your bringing to our attention the trouble you had with the bathtub draining - please accept my sincere apologies for this. We hope that you and your family enjoyed your visit to St. Louis and that you will give us the opportunity to provide you with an improved level of product quality should you visit again. Sincerely, Cynthia L. Brasseur General Manager
"Great Location, Clean, Friendly Staff, Great Breakfast"
Went to a Cardinals game and stayed at this place one night. The receptionist was handling a drunk guest with class and ease. She quickly fixed my room key when I accidentally voided it. Clean, quite, and the location was wonderful. Nice neighborhood and great access off of the interstate. The breakfast had a lot of options and the attendant was working hard to keep the area clean. Will stay again.
"Good Value"
Dog friendly with some green space around the hotel. Average hotel room. Comfortable beds. Near Walmart and other big box stores and chain restaurants. Near the Laumier Sculpture Gardens, another great place to walk the dog. Easy 25 minute drive downtown to the Arch.
