positive:
Historic charm and modern comfort..
Many guests are thoroughly charmed by the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac's unique architecture, beginning with the gracious lobby with its curving staircases and pretty furnishings. The guest rooms are often described as spacious, comfortable, and airy, with tall ceilings and large windows. Those who stay in the Executive level rooms generally report that the access to the Concierge Lounge is well worth the premium rate.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Lost in the maze..
Several guests have found the hotel's layout confusing, as the complex features a number of separate buildings with fairly discreet entrances, and there is some room for improvement in the signage.
negative:
A little "old and tired", to some..
While some guests love the hotel's "old world charm", others describe the hallways as dark and the guest room decor as merely "dated". A small group have also had housekeeping oversights to report.
negative:
To err is human..
Though reviews of the staff are generally positive, a few guests have received a disappointingly ineffective or indifferent response to their noise, maintenance, or housekeeping issues.
