Great place to stay
The Clayton Plaza Hotel is excellent! From the friendly front desk, to the clean and nicely appointed rooms, and the complimentary breakfast ( a full breakfast buffet with added availability of fresh to order omelets) all combines to make it a great hotel choice.

My only complaint was that I had issues with my shower not working, once it was fixed I had very low water pressure which sucked, otherwise love Clayton Plaza especially the breakfast!

Free breakfast was available. In spite of the buffet breakfast being set up in an attached restaurant, it was still the usual fare and the usual quality. The bed was soft and lumpy.

Very nice hotel. Interesting shower. You can set the temperature of the water, push a button and 30 seconds later, it tells you you're shower is ready. The first morning, I couldn't get the water to turn on. Apparently the shower is connected to the internet and the internet had to be reset. Shower worked fine the next two mornings. Excellent breakfast buffet!

Great Place to Stay
We love staying here. Excellent accommodations that are comfortable. Close to Forest Park makes it so convenient for the zoo, art museum or Muny Opera. This time however, lady that checked us in gave us no information about the change in how to get to parking!! She wasn’t very helpful at all!! Usually the people that check us in are very informative, helpful and friendly!!
