    Maurice was excellent at bartering and made the drinks perfectly to my liking. I loved the atmosphere of the bar—it was lovely—and he was very attentive to our service. We’ll most definitely be coming back!

    I just spent a night at the Pennywell and really enjoyed it! I got salmon from the restaurant that tasted great, massive snack selection, the rooms were clean, and the bed was comfortable. Can’t say much on the location because I’m not familiar with St. Louis but really liked the hotel overall!

    Went to Pennywell and our server was Maria. She made the best cocktails I've ever had! My friends and I got espresso martinis and dirty martinis. I've tasted a lot of those and they were seriously the best I've ever had.

    My wife and I stayed at this hotel for our 5th anniversary. First things first, shoutout to Maurice and Coleman. They took care of us at the bar, providing excellent service and drinks. Zero complaints on the hotel in general. The whole aesthetic sets them apart from cookie cutter hotels. All of the staff were accommodating, the room was clean, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. I highly recommend staying here, especially at the fair price.

    We stayed at the Pennywell St. Louis. Such a calm vibe and cool bank history. It was cool walking through the “vault” to see what snacks they had in hand. The vault doors were a standout. We ate dinner downstairs at the PennyDrop Bar and it was so good!! Unfortunately the kitchen was short staffed and our waiter, Anjus, made sure we were aware and okay with the wait time. AHectyrn took our drink and good order, repeated it back and had it perfect! Our bar tender Mio was gracious and made sure our drinks were full. The drinks were good and our Caesar salad and steak dinner did NOT disappoint!!! Then we met the manager of the restaurant, Maurio. I let him know that we were COMPLETELY satisfied with our drinks, dinner and service! We understood their situation and were in no hurry to have been fed. All 3 gentlemen appreciated our understanding and took care of us as such. Unfortunately they were met with some unhappy patrons, which is why we let them know of our happiness. Y’all need to give this restaurant a try, menu is small but is met with great flavor!!!
