Interesting location as it is on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. The campus is beautiful and the building is also very well designed and nice. This would be a great location to host a conference or wedding. Truly nice venue. Close to Forest Park too.

Convenient

Knight Center is a wonderful place to stay if doing things at WU. Easy to use metro and/or Uber/Lyft, so you don't have to rent a car to get around the WU/UCity/Clayton area. Competitively priced with alternatives in Clayton.

Charged card, said he would credit, has not

The manager made a mistake with the credit card he charged and said he was going to credit it. That charge was last Thursday, it is now no longer pending and has cleared with no credit applied or refund that he noted.

I had no idea there was a hotel on the Wash. U. campus. The rooms rival some of the better hotels I have stayed in. The staff was courteous and friendly. The pricing was also reasonable and the location is right in the heart of the city. I will definitely will be staying there on future visits to my former home town.

The Knight center is a little removed from shopping and restaurants (about 20 min walk to Delmar business corridor), but if you have business on campus it is very convenient. The room was very comfortable, and looked as if it were recently renovated. The staff were all very kind and helpful - particularly enjoyed my conversation with Valencia, the bartender at the Bear public house. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit WashU.

A Nice Place to Stay

Nice clean and updated room. Nice size TV. Huge desk if needing to do work. My only complaints would be that parking is in a garage across the street that was a little inconvenient, especially in cold weather. That may not be a problem for some people. It was nice that it was a garage, but the visitor parking was further away from the entrance than we would have liked. Not a deal breaker, just something to consider. We stayed on the weekend and were not charged for the parking, which was nice. I don't know if that is the case during the week. My only other complaint is that I was not able to stream on the TV. At least, I couldn't find a way to do that. I didn't ask the front desk, so I can't say for sure that is the case. All in all a nice convenient place to stay on campus at a decent price. There is a good chance we will stay there again.
