    Firstly I just want to acknowledge the front desk receptionist, Lyric, was amazing. That being said my partner and I have a few gripes about this place: -room was always cold to her, even with the a/c off -the underground parking lot entrance/exit lanes were opposite (entrance lane far left while exit lane was the far right.... Typically it's the other way around -the room keys kept being deactivated...we went through like 8 keys in the 4 days. It was frustrating. -not a big deal to me but the pool light was out so it's always dark in the evening on the pool patio Outside of those cons the place was awesome, the way it looks (see pics) was much cooler than going to a four seasons. It's right on the edge of city/county line which is a great location, the bar inside resembles an English pub which is cool, the free breakfast in the morning is nice, the workers are nice, & parking is only $10/night while the deposit is only $50. I'll come back for sure when I visit, place is far more unique than most hotels.

    Great beds

    It's a time capsule to past. With great complimentary breakfast ( minus eggs and sausage patties) There are original antique furniture everywhere. Lobby needs air conditioning but rooms has the best air for area. It's nearby university and hospital great neighborhood. If u like modern hotels you won't like here but if u are into English style old place this is the place to go. It's not walking distance to downtown but Uber will make it. Lose enough

    After living in St. Louis 10 year, I finally booked a room at the Cheshire for my daughter and me. The hotel staff was so friendly and helpful, and the check-in was quick. We checked into our room and there was a noise coming from the vents that would have kept me up all night. I called downstairs and asked for another room. Staff was happy to oblige and had a new key waiting by the time we got back down. We checked into another room on the same floor. In this room, there was also a buzzing sound similar to fluorescent lights coming from the stairwell next door. At this time, I did not have the energy to change again. It was not as loud as the previous issue in the other room. The room itself was disappointing. Everything was old. It has an old motel feel, not a quaint boutique or historic feel. The furniture in the hallways is random. It seems haphazardly placed. The halls themselves were a bit spooky to me. We went to Basso (which is a favorite for happy hour) and returned later. We watched TV and then I showered. The shower took forever to get sort of warm. It was definitely not a hot shower. This was very disappointing. The best part was the breakfast. It was one of the best spreads I have seen at any hotel. I would not stay here again. I am happy that I got a discounted rate. I would return for the bar but would opt out of an overnight stay.

    Is this the American Midwest or Great Britain?

    Definitely a charming, quaint little place. It's hard to imagine something more British in the middle of the American Midwest. First things first, yes, The Cheshire is a bit dated, but don't let that sway you. It adds to the rustic charm. Sure, my room was a bit small and I was disappointed that there wasn't a mini fridge or microwave, but those things wouldn't be available in retro Britain either. The pub (Fox & Hound Tavern) swept me away, as if I was across the pond. Great bartender, lowkey vibe and solid drinks. The hotel quarters were very true to the British feel. From the decor to the chairs and paintings, it was really a neat place to visit. If you're hoping to experience the heart of St. Louis, this might not be the best place to stay. It's on the west side of town and there wasn't much of a view of anything from the rooms. I also wasn't thrilled by the mandatory extra charge for parking, but at least I felt that my vehicle was safe. Overall, I'd say the ambiance is 4.5/5 for being true to British form. In terms of the rooms and building itself, as a place of lodging, I'd probably give it 3/5. If you're staying here, stay for the charm and you'll be happy.

    Old skool signage very European

    This actually feels like you're in Europe. The Fox and the Hound Pub was pure joy to go into at night for a drink after a days activities. It was great to have secure, covered parking and a very charming Starbucks next door. We enjoyed our stay in the STL Metro but really loved Clayton. The furnishings in The Cheshire we 1000% English / German vibey!!!

    I came here for a yelp event! I've never actually heard of this place prior to this event. They had food out but but the food was dry, lacking any flavor and did not seem fresh. The food was warm but after one taste I put mine down. I am glad they had a veggie tray as I am Keto so limited on my carb intake. I think having two signature drinks was fabulous however I kept finding small bugs in my drinks, so I would pour them out.

    Their common areas had a nice ambience and lodge-like motif

    My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was just what we were looking for! It has character and charm. The room could use some updating with more plugs and a refrigerator, but ours was clean and large. Loved the common areas and having a restaurant and pub on site were awesome amenities. We didn't try the pool since it was on the cool side, but it looked nice as well. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to St Louis!

    Breakfast!

    If you're looking for a different hotel than the norm, the Cheshire is the place for you. The decor looks like British antique? I'm not sure but we enjoyed sitting in the lobby playing chess and enjoying the crackling coming from the fireplace. The room was quaint and beds were comfortable and firm! We loved that we could get hot tea anytime. Water bottles are free at the mini shop by the front desk, and $3 for anything else. The most delightful surprise was the breakfast! Quite a nice spread for being continental. We loved all the berries and variety of berries, eggs and bacon, and croissant/danishes. There is a $10 parking fee and we parked in the underground lot right in front of the elevator and had direct access to our room. Bonus when you had to make a few trips. All-in-all a great experience. Nothing to complain about!

    I had a great time at the pool with several others. The cabanas was great to get in the shade for a bit. The summer time Sun did not hit at an uncomfortable angle and we were in a golden spot for supreme fun! The top featured items on their menu was amazing. The staff was extra accomendating inside and outside. Two mid size garages downbelow gave it extra breathing room. Not sure if there are elevators but there was stairs. Inside gave me some medieval kingdom vibes which was pretty different and cool at the same time! There is an interesting computer area deep in the lobby to get things done if need be. I really enjoy this unique scene in the St. Louis area. With a nearby hospital, highway and biggest national city park, Forest Park next door. The served appetitizers were very tasty. Best samosas I've had! Thank you @balloontheorystl⁠ for being the cherry on top helping us theme out our event, @DJLunarRiot for the upbeat vibes carrying the party, @Alibicookies for the delicious cookies, @fetebooth for the unique selfi event experience, @pmpimagesstl ⁠for the high quality event photos, & @cheshirestl for amazing hotel the experience that I've never had before!

    The beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable. The only thing that I would add would be a mini fridge. Staff was very friendly!

    Also, the girl bartender who SEEMS stand-offish, is actually very witty and absolutely beyond helpful.

    A friend of mine had her bridal shower here and I have to say, it was one of the nicest venues I…read morecould imagine having a shower at. The place is small, but plenty big enough for the 50 people she had at her shower. Also, it was homey and comfortable and quiet. The building is historic and they left the entire thing open for us to explore during the shower. Also, we had full use of the kitchen, so bringing in our own food was easy peasy. We had sandwiches and T Ravs and 3 kinds of gooey butter cake, all made by local places or by the friends and family of the bride, and they did not care. We did not have to use their caterer or anything like that. It was a huge money saver and guaranteed that we had what we wanted. Also, they don't care if you bring alcohol. (bonus for a shower with beer I must add). I will say parking was a bit of a nightmare, but nothing unmanageable. I would suggest telling people to carpool if you are looking at more than 20 cars, the place just can't hold it. So in short, this place is great for a lot of things, and even has those big white tents that you can rent for an indoor/outdoor event. It's the home of the St. Louis Ambassadors, so whatever date you are looking for you can't overlap their dates, but they still have plenty of open dates. Great place for a shower, or even a small wedding. It will keep things classy while keeping your price tag down.

    My fiance and I was trying to have a small baby shower for our second born. Little did I know I…read morewould have to be so frustrated and sadden that this event that I have been planning completely has been ruined. They did not only tell me about the different Caters that have set prices in $$$$ range for a small group setting. They also never disclosed the pricing of the different preferred Caters until after the Non-rufunable deposit was sign. The customer service which is not as great as the pictures on the website. The young lady that answers the phone not only is NO help please don't interupt her on her lunch or a bad day then you will not get any help. I have been trying to contact both the Director that stated should could not afford the venue and caters. She has yet to respond to my emails nor phone calls. Because of this horrible experience not only has my blood pressure went up which is not good for me nor my unborn but now I have so little time to find another venue with such short notice. If you are looking to spend over $2500 for a small baby shower be my guest. I just know my fiance and I are not only planning a wedding for next year with yes with both income with a child and another on the way but we are do not have budget for this at all
