Mark Twain Hotel 205 North 9th Street, St. Louis, MO 63101

"Rooms can be a lot cleaner they also have history of bed bugs and they have hot water issues"

"Its haunted I believe. The water comes out hot then cold then hot again often and constantly fluctuates between temperature. Sometimes it wont get hot even if you wait an hour, other times if you wake up in the middle of night and turn on faucet the water immediately comes out hot even on cold setting. Poltergeist stuff they need to get a exorcist to cleanse this place. Aside from that and the building falling apart I like it here its interesting. I ain't afraid of no ghost"

"I've recently been staying at hotel. Must say staff and security guards are excellent. professional and helpful. Rooms are clean and your room is comfortable and safe. It's extremely affordable and do not assume, I love it here and part of history it's been in downtown St.louis now for 100 years."

"I have been reluctant to to write a review because this place definitely serves a purpose and that purpose is to provide temporary and transient lodging... however you do get what you pay for. For the most part the front desk staff can be tolerable if you respect them but depending on their personal moods can be rude and condescending, and since they know that most of the people who are there don't have have anywhere else to go they Ark what to tell you if you don't like something you can leave. The head of Maintenance at this hotel is a joke. After living there long-term, residents are definitely not the main concern. Money is. It shows in the lack of Maintenance to the laundry facilities which really need to be replaced to the elevators that are extremely old and constantly breaking down to the freight elevator that does not work so now the elevators at the residents use on the same ones they use for trash throughout the building. Another major issue in this building of course is the bed bugs which are all throughout the building. The the hallway carpets need to be replaced because they are filthy is there is a general odor throughout the entire building. This year the building got New ownership and I hope they take the time to actually invest in the residence. The location of this building is absolutely perfect because it's a half block from a grocery store a block from transit and plenty of restaurants and things nearby. However if you have a car parking is not provided so be prepared to spend more money for that."

"It's a good place to be while you're in transition between places. just be respectful to the staff while you're there. The most important is to keep yourself and you're room clean. The stores and restaurants is in walking distance so you save on gas. Don't have to worry about paying extra bills so you can save some money while you're there. It's a good place to be if you're in a tough spot until you're situation gets better. The laundry room is in the building so you can wash clothes. snack machines in the lobby if you need something to snack on late at night. The police department is next door and the metro link is less then a block. It's a perfect short term or long term spot. There is security on sight so if you need assistance the staff and security can help."
