My husband and I planned a weekend getaway to St. Louis and chose 21c Museum Hotel based on strong recommendations from local friends. We typically stay at the Four Seasons, but wanted to try something different and were excited by 21c’s boutique reputation. My husband booked one of the hotel’s top suites, and upon arrival we were genuinely impressed. The room was beautifully designed, and I was especially looking forward to enjoying the fireplace during a cold winter weekend. Unfortunately, several issues became apparent almost immediately. One of the living room curtains had a noticeable stain, not all of the motorized shades were functioning properly, the bathroom soaps were not filled prior to our arrival, and the bathtub drain had been pulled out and needed to be reset. I was also disappointed to learn that guests cannot control the fireplace themselves and must rely on staff to turn it on and off. For something so central to the suite experience I would have expected 21c to incorporate a fireplace solution that guests could control on their own. The following morning, around 11:00 a.m., I stopped by the front desk to report the bathtub issue and to request that the fireplace be lit by 2:00 p.m. so I could enjoy it when we returned. We left expecting the room to be serviced during the day. When I returned at 2:00 p.m., the room had not been cleaned, the tub had not been fixed, and the fireplace had not been turned on. I called the front desk and was told maintenance was on the way. At 3:00 p.m., I called again and was told maintenance had been “held up on another job” and would arrive shortly. By 4:30 p.m., no one had come, and we received no follow-up, update, or apology. The next evening, I stopped by the front desk to share our disappointment in person, as I believe it’s important to give staff the opportunity to address concerns directly rather than simply posting a review afterward. I waited approximately five minutes before anyone came to the desk. By that time, it was nearly 8:00 p.m. I explained that no one had come to light the fireplace and that the bathtub issue had never been resolved. The staff member asked if I wanted someone sent up immediately; I declined, as I did not want someone entering the room at that hour. He then responded with, “Well, I wasn’t here yesterday,” which suggested a lack of training in how to handle guest concerns or take ownership of the guest experience. 21c is clearly striving to position itself as a luxury boutique hotel. The aesthetics, room design, and pricing suggest a high-end experience, but the service and staff training did not align with those expectations. That disconnect is particularly disappointing because the hotel has tremendous potential to be something special. I sincerely hope someone from leadership reaches out and demonstrates that 21c values service recovery and long-term guest loyalty. With stronger attention to operational details and staff empowerment, this hotel could truly live up to the experience it aims to provide.

The valet parking man was helpful and informative. The person at checkin seemed disengaged. He gave us keys to an occupied room and then seemed surprised when we asked him to bring nee keys up to us while we hauled our heavy luggage cart. The carpets in the hall had not been vacuumed. The self parking situation was a total disaster. Someone should have warned us they would not let us extend the parking length. When we went to view the art exhibit and participate in the heavily promoted nightcap, there was a private event. We were not welcome. Again, you should have told us. I prepaid through the amex promotion program. When i checked out the desk person could not print out the room charges. They would be sent by email he said. It never arrived. This stay was a total disappointment…with the exception of the bar and restaurant which seemed to be operated by a totally different entity/company. I routinely stay at Drury hotels. Every one my stays with them has been better than this one which was hyped as a top of the line experience. NOT!! On a positive note, I was grateful that housekeeping cleaned and restocked my room while I was out.

Your comments about the cleanliness of the hallways will be shared with our housekeeping team to ensure that we maintain our commitment to a pristine environment. We understand the frustration regarding the self-parking situation and the private event that impacted your experience with our art exhibit and nightcap event. We aim to provide clear communication about such occurrences and regret that you were left uninformed. Regarding the email with your room charges, we will look into this matter to ensure it is addressed appropriately. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our bar and restaurant offerings.
