    The hotel hallways are a maze, it’s easy to get lost. Sip on a bourbon & enjoy the incredible light shows in the main lobby! They play every hour on the hour and the theme is different each time.

    This balloon has been defying gravity at the top of the ceiling in the main lobby for over 5 months now. It has become the highlight of my stay each time. I’m rooting for you balloon, make it a year!

    Atmosphere is great and so is most if the food- light show on the hour is fun too! AVOID the Sushi- all rice and zero flavor!

    When it opened in 1894, this was the largest & busiest train station in the world. Be sure to check out the Whispering Arch in the main entry, it’s an acoustical phenomenon!

    Hotel was exceptionally nice as is the entire campus, however, unless paying $37 for valet parking, parking for the hotel is extraordinarily far away. The inside of the hotel is much like a maze.

    Marriiott has done a nice job preserving the old building..historic Union Station feels like stepping backwards in time. Sunday breakfast is one of the better kept secrets.

    They’ve really upgraded this entire area with the Wheel, the Aquarium, and a bunch of new restaurants!

    If you're already downtown, The Fudgery is *definitely* worth the trip. Loved it as a kid, loved it as an adult. My kids had a blast, too!

    The parts of the old train station are beautiful but a lot was added on that doesn’t necessarily add to that feeling which is a pity.

    When newly-elected President Harry Truman’s train stopped here on Nov. 3, 1948, he gleefully held up the early edition of the Chicago Tribune in the now iconic "Dewey Defeats Truman" photo. Read more

    Really nice by the water, but all of the places inside aren't worth the trip and are equally as expensive

    This place was awesome a few years back. Now you pay a stupid amount to park here for a defunct mall or really overrated Hard Rock Cafe

    Lots of closed shops and looks a little abandoned. Very historical.

    Ask for the verbal tour of the many interesting antiques located throughout the restaurant.

    Fun murals of "famous" trains and/or stations are silly photo opportunities.

    Used to be a decent mall. Now pretty much everything has closed except for the stl and anhauser busch stores. It's worth seeing for its historic value, but not worth paying for parking.

    Maybe not quite a bustling mall anymore, but worth looking at the architecture and history

    I haven't been to this place in nearly 15 years and the place has gone downhill. Probably 90% of storefronts are now closed. The only thing still open of any interest would be the fudge shop. :(

    This is the first of the major union stations where Harvey ran all the restaurants. You can have dinner in the old Harvey dining room, now part of a Marriott hotel. Read more

    Had a very hard time checking in, long wait. No offer of help with my luggage and it was pretty obvious I was having a hard time. Room service was merely mediocre. I'd think twice before staying here.

    It's the prettiest mall you'll never see. Not joking: this place is empty, abandoned by any "real" businesses, with the exception of the food court. Go to the St. Louis Galleria instead.
