Within 3 minutes of us leaving our room to go for breakfast. 2 cleaning people key carded into our room and stole my wives wedding ring. Staff did nothing about it. I walked in on them and nothing i could do without going to jail myself. Sad world we live in. Un replaceable ring.

Very impressed with the facility and staff from the minute we walked in to the time we left. Very friendly and accommodating. Room was in great shape and very nicely appointed. I was quite surprised being an independent brand it stacks up ahead of any chain branded hotel I have stayed at. I had 2 of my employees in rooms here as well and they both agreed. Strongly recommend.

This hotel was smelled very odd. It would have been ok, but when I got to my room there were creepy moon pictures all over the place. There was always a face on the moon and it was disturbing. I left after 2 hours and ate the bill.

Both the beds in our room were broke. One had a broken box on the bottom so if you sit on there you would almost fall thru the floor. The other one had a broken box on the head and you would lay with your upper body lower then the rest.

This is our go-to when we have a show at The Pageant since it's literally next door. It's always clean, comfortable, and not stupidly expensive. Popped down to the Eclipse Restaurant in the hotel before the concert last night and had a tasty cocktail and out-of-this-world smoked gouda mac & cheese with grilled chicken - and I don't really care for chicken! Just book it, it's a great place.

We were in town to see a show at the Pageant Theater next door. The hotel was very convenient to the venue and had free parking in a lot behind the hotel. There were several places to eat that were in walking distance. We wound definitely stay here again!

You cannot beat how close this is to the Pageant. If you are going to a concert, this is the spot! Easy and free parking, with the option to pay to Valet. Restaurant is pretty good and decently priced, and the motel itself is really unique and cool! Space themed memorabilia and decor, in and outside the rooms. Staff was friendly and helpful for the most part.

I loved this place! Cute, quirky little hotel with friendly staff. It’s was super clean, and is in a great location. We were there for a concert at The Pageant, which it is right next door so it was perfect.
2.0 / 5.0
The place was great, some minor housekeeping issues, the fridge was not cleaned out after the previous guest, and the bathroom could have used a bit more attention. Overall, great stay and would repeat.

Loved the decor and the theme. Room could have been cleaner -- there was glitter all over the couch in our room and leftover hairs from previous occupants. One of the front desk people was extremely helpful and friendly -- the other very unhelpful when my husband asked when the breakfast opened and what was available. When I went to check out they pointed to the key drop. When I asked if I could see a copy of my bill, they asked if I wanted them to print a copy. Duh? It was very convenient for us and we would stay again. But they could certainly kick it up a notch.

Great location for walking to restaurants and stores, and only a short drive to see The Arch and other things downtown. Loved the rooftop bar. Staff was awesome, especially Charles - thank you Charles! Great hotel - would definitely stay here again!

Great customer service by all staff members. Terrace is wonderful for evening cocktail. Common spaces are artsy and colorful. The room was a disappointment. It was tired; needs a refresh.

The room was ok. Ironing board did not work. no counter space in the bathroom. The room next to me was very load. I think it was being cleaned. The waitstaff on the roof and the manager were great. The downstairs restaurant forgot to process my dinner and it was long and cold. The staff was great about that.

We had such a great stay at The Moonrise. We had never traveled with our small dog and they were very accommodating and friendly with her.We loved the theme at the hotel and the rooftop bar was a great spot to unwind. There are so many places within walking distance for food and shopping , it made it easy to decide on dinner. Thx so much!

This was our second stay in the Moonrise - about 10 years after our first. The hotel has been extremely well kept and is in great shape. I didn't notice any wear and tear on their lobby or in the rooms. We enjoyed a drink on the rooftop and had great service there. The only drawback was the Eclipse restaurant on site. We had planned to eat breakfast there but it was apparent that they were very short-staffed for the holiday weekend (we heard the single hostess/waitress apologizing to the sole table seated for the long wait) so we opted to go to an "express" diner across the street.

The head valet and the AG were rude to the point of aggression and didn’t uphold the terms of our reservation. We ended up not even staying, as we felt unwelcome, horribly treated, and it was ultimately pretty awful..

When we got to the hotel, we were checked in and the receptionist was quite nice but one we got up into the room. I noticed several things one and didn’t look like like I have been vacuum for a bit and there were only two small pillows on each side of the bed, which would equal about one. The next day we waited for the room to be cleaned when we got back close to four we noticed the bed had not been made except for what we had done before we left towels were put in, but no hand towels. No soap was replenished and the coffee was replenished.
When we went to check out this morning, the receptionist seem to be too busy on her phone and just said throw the key in the box will not be returning here

Hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. Had great blackout window coverings and a white noise machine!
Staff were so pleasant!
5.0 / 5.0
It was a last minute decision to stay at a hotel at all, but I knew I wanted to be close to the show we were attending at Delmar Hall. The moonrise did not disappoint, and extra points for a noon checkout! They know what kind of clientele is nearby! The bar staff on the rooftop was so excellent, it made me want to stay another night just because.
5.0 / 5.0
Great stay every time. Fantastic location right on the Loop, walking distance to bars and restaurants, shopping, cafes, and music venues. Killer rooftop bar with great views of the city and WashU.
