Pear Tree Inn

The floor is dirty. The décor is very dated. The walls are paper thin. The two times I’ve had to stay here the guests were insufferably noisy, both in the adjacent rooms and outside the hotel in the parking lot.

The staff is really friendly. The shuttle is prompt. My room smelled like a bonfire and the beds are tiny. I took one bite of breakfast and threw it away because it was pretty awful tasting. I wouldn’t stay here if I didn’t have to.

Friendly staff and the managers happy hour was fun. Room was clean. Breakfast wasn’t so great… didn’t like the eggs at all. And the elevator doesn’t work from the main floor. It’s just the button, get it fixed!

Front desk staff is the exception to the one star. Every other aspect of this hotel deserves the single star. Wifi is free but who cares if it is so slow that it’s unusable. Rooms… well it’s a wear your sandals on the carpet sort of room. Linens are stained. I happened to be in my room when one of the room service staff came to clean. I let her in and she smacked her lips at me and said I had a junky room and replaced some towels then walked out. I guess making the bed is too much to ask, I wouldn’t even dream of a fresh sheet. The ironing board is broken and the iron has burnt residue on the hot plate which in turn will end up on your white shirt. The only thing missing from my room are the bed bugs which was quite the surprise. To top it all off, my toilet will not stop cycling water to the reservoir.

Check in was welcoming and courteous Janet was very friendly and efficient. Room was clean except for blankets on bed — they were stained and had hair on them. Please do away with the polyester bed covers. Otherwise easy, convenient reasonably priced.

Terrible hotel: rooms have not been updated since the 90’s. Stinky halls, broken elevators, subpar housekeeping. All the free drinks in the world will not make up for fungi growing on your pillows! Don’t stay here.

The room was clean. The issues were in service. At check in they tried to force me into a smoking room saying it was my fault then it was a system issue after 20 mins I got a non smoking room. This morning no shuttle service

The Pear Tree Inn is in a convenient location and is comfortable, but don’t expect a fancy room. Unfortunately, our room was right next to the elevator, which was a bit loud.
The bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was good. I like the way they gave us each a free drink voucher for during happy hour. They also have a good free breakfast in the morning. It only takes about 20 minutes to get downtown from the Pear Tree Inn.

The rooms have been getting some updates, but it’s still a mediocre room. Free wifi, good breakfast, free popcorn, free beer/​wine during happy hour in the afternoon.

Great place to spend the night before an early morning flight. The staff was wonderful, room just right. Gabriel, the shuttle driver from the airport, even dropped me off at a nearby Mexican restaurant for dinner — sparing me the agony of one more night of hotel strip food. He came back, picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel.

It’s not fancy or anything. The interior is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. It’s close to the airport with a shuttle. Complimentary Happy Hour with beer and wine and Complimentary Breakfast in the morning. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly.

This Drury-​run hotel near the STL airport seems a real bargain compared to its nearby competitors. The free (full) breakfast of sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits, yogurt, cereals, breads, jams is plenty to choose from and available for about 3.5 hours each morning. Staff is friendly and helpful. Shuttle to STL terminal and Metrolink is dependable, 24/​7, free. Parking is free and in a secured (gated) lot accessed by room keys only.
Rooms: Quiet. How do they do this? Some of the rooms are huge, some are small, all I’ve seen come with micros and frig, little coffeemakers. You do not hear planes or the elevator, even when in the room nearest the elevator. The free Wi-​Fi works well in the room and elsewhere on the property.
Why not 5 stars? There are not enough outlets. I had to unplug the clock radio and a lamp to find enough outlets to charge my cell phones, computer, etc. Also, on a recent stay,
(APPARENTLY) had not sent my pre-​paid (by several weeks) reservation along and upon arriving from my flight around 11 p.m., on an ordinary weeknight, I was told there was NO room, not at PTI, not at any Drury, not at any Hampton. While this (APPARENTLY) was not the fault of the hotel staff, and we also checked with the customer service people by phone, it seemed to me they should have found me a room somewhere.
What happened? I got the PTI shuttle to my car rental, was getting my car (so i could drive partway to my destination & find lodging there), when PTI called the car rental agency to tell me «a cancellation has made a room available for you». OK. That was good that they tracked me down. However, somehow I got the feeling this was rather odd (at midnight), so still not sure how to rank the hotel on this.
There is free popcorn in the lobby, free food at happy hour, and lots of other amenities at the PTI. Airline staff stay there, so it must be dependable and clean.

For a simple no-​frills, convenient place to stay, the Pear Tree Inn near Lambert — St. Louis Airport is a surprisingly good choice. Service at the hotel is nice, with workers being polite friendly. Rooms are very nice and quite clean, although there is an unfortunate dearth of electrical outlets available in the room. Nonetheless, for being located adjacent to the airfield, the hotel rooms are very quiet. Also, we ended up in the room next to the elevator and I feared it would keep me up all night, but surprisingly I had no problems sleeping. The hotel boasts a full breakfast for free (and the food is decent), a small workout facility (two treadmills and a stationary bike, but don’t go looking for weights because there aren’t any), and a happy hour (which we didn’t attend, but I think you get at least one drink on the house). The best part however, is that with the airport comes a Metrolink station, which can be easily accessed in a few minutes via the free shuttle from the hotel which runs on demand. Be aware, though, that from the airport you cannot buy a one-​hour pass (one-​ride pass, essentially), so don’t be surprised at the cost of a trip into the city. But if you plan to wander a bit, buy a day pass and hop on for a easy and painless ride into the heart of the city. For a brief stay at the right price, there really isn’t too much to complain about at the Pear Tree.
