What guests think

At The Moonrise Hotel, travelers praise the fun space-themed vibe, welcoming staff, and a walkable Delmar Loop location by The Pageant, plus a popular rooftop bar with views—creating a convenient base for concerts, dining, and neighborhood exploring.

Rooms are often comfortable and spacious with unique decor, but some feel worn, experience noise from the street or rooftop, or encounter maintenance quirks and missing microwaves. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many spotless stays contrasted by repeated reports of stained linens, dusty or dirty bathrooms, and inconsistent housekeeping. Facilities draw praise for pet-friendly policies and available parking, yet guests note elevator outages or slowness and an often-broken EV charger. Expect a lively, character-filled stay suited to enjoying the Loop and nearby shows.

The elevators were out and the staff was not accommodating about it at all. Had a lot of guests staying for a wedding and a few were older and were not able to climb 6 flights of stairs to their rooms and ended up sleeping in the lobby on chairs. I asked for extra linens (pillow and blanket) and was rudely told they did not have a key to the linens. The thermostat in our suite didn’t work so it was very cold all night long.

This was our second time staying at the Moonrise. It's a great location, particularly if you're seeing a show at the Pageant or Delmar Hall. The hotel is hip and friendly, with a great rooftop bar. The only thing that wasn't great was the parking situation when we arrived. 1. You pretty much have to valet park and the parking attendants are really hit and miss when it comes to professionalism and helpfulness. That's a problem because it's a bit of madhouse if you check in on the weekend. 2. There's an EV charger (and we drive an EV), but it was broken.

The room had a nice set up. Very clean. It had a rain showere head, which I don't like, but I know some love them. The shower pressure was good. It had car charging for EV vehicles but the vallet guy said it had been broken for over a year. EV cars are more and more popular, hotels should have them available. The vallet guy did tell us about free parking that was at the hotel. The rooftop bar looked nice but was full and there wasn't enough seating.

Super fun hotel with a lot of walkable places for food, fun, and grocery. We had the pleasure of meeting Elisa at the restaurant who was wonderful. Free parking in the back of the hotel or valet services for a cost. The rooftop bar was also a great atmosphere and you can see the arch. Everyone was super kind that we came across. Andre at the front desk was extremely helpful as well. Will definitely recommend this hotel and go again if we have the pleasure of going to St. Louis again.

I was really surprised at the cleanliness of the rooms. The aesthetic of the hotel is really cool and why I booked it, plus the really good reviews made me feel like the 200$ splurge on our roadtrip was worth it. But upon going into our room I could see food and hair on the floor, the couch had suspicious white stains on it, the fridge still had someone else’s food in it and the toilet was not cleaned… I’m talking fecal matter in the bowl. We don’t usually make a fuss but this was just nasty and the room was not cheap so my husband went and notified the front desk. She was nice about it though and no questions asked gave us a new room. The next room we got was better but it still wasn’t the level of clean you’d be hoping for. The showers in both of the rooms were not very clean and the floor was black from dirt and grime over time. The toilet in the new room stopped being able to flush which is not fun. I really wanted to love this place and I don’t like being negative and leaving bad reviews but for a place that’s on the expensive side I don’t think that is acceptable. The cheaper budget hotels we stayed at were clean. The pros were the space aesthetic and the area was really cute. I wish we had some more time to explore the area some more. And the front desk staff was nice.

Extremely poor experience. After traveling for 7 hrs we were looking forward to rest in our room. Unfortunately, we had to change rooms 3 times due to extremely unhygienic bedding filled with blood stains and body fluids on all rooms. Pillows were yellow without protective covers, sheets were not clean, bathrooms were not clean. I asked for fresh linens but there was no one to help from the cleaning crew at that time of the night. No top sheets on 2 of the rooms. Staff at the front desk was apologetic and mentioned it was not the first time they had complaints. The front desk lady was very nice and gave me “new” pillows from the back and put covers on them at the desk after the third time. I was told I would hear from the manager but have not heard yet.

The Moonrise is a nice enough hotel to stay at with some unique features, such as the man made moon replica and the light up staircase. Other than that, though, it is pretty average. It is also geared more toward adults than families so if you have young kids, bear that in mind. Beds were fine, although one mattress in our Executive Queen is about due for replacement judging by the dips, and the room was large, nicely furnished, and cleaned when we arrived. The internet went out for almost a full 24 hours with no explanation and that means no tv in this hotel since they don't use an antenna. Not a huge deal but I like background noise while I get ready for the day, and as I drift off to sleep. All the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the location means I will likely stay here again when I visit family - but I will look for a better room rate than I got this time if possible.

Lost use of elevators for about 10 hours due to a car accident, so that was unfortunate being on the 5th floor, but no fault of hotel. Rooftop bar is a popular hangout for locals it seems.

This property is so funky & fun. First of all, as a Bravo girlie I couldn’t help but notice and love that Andy Cohen’s star is right outside the property haha! But onto things that matter… the property is very clean, well maintained, and the vibes are unique and cool. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The bed was super comfortable and the TV options were aplenty. The shower did kind of suck. There are a lot of restaurants nearby/within walking distance to choose from, in addition to the dining options on site. There’s a cool rooftop bar and restaurant, as well as a more upscale restaurant on the first floor. We didn’t dine in but the options looked good. Overall I’m super happy with this stay and will likely book again.

Antoinette was present when we checked in (after standing for almost 5 minutes at the front desk with no one there). One of the most unhelpful, rude and rushed check-ins I’ve had. No explanation of anything to include how to get to elevators, rooftop bar, breakfast, anything. She was short when I inquired on parking as my husband had been sitting in the car outside. No valet ever came, we ended up self parking after I asked twice during the check in process. She gave me the keys and turned around again. Not a great start to the stay. When we got into the room the toilet was running constantly. (My husband fixed it after some time). I probably wouldn’t pick to stay here again as there are other options in the area.

I called the front desk for extra pillows and a room service menu and was told laundry was gone for the day so I couldn’t get extra pillows and if there wasn’t a menu in my room to look it up online myself. For a $300 room this was terrible service. I’ll think twice before staying here again

I wanted to love this hotel. The location was great. The service initially was good as well. After the first night, we asked for housekeeping to make up the room in the morning. After returning from a full day, I pulled the sheets down to get into bed and found what could only be fecal matter on the sheets. Not sure how housekeeping could have changed the bedding and not seen this. Not sure if it was animal or human. I am sure it was disgusting and I did not sleep well as a result of being completely grossed out. We went to the front desk and there was no one available to change the bedding. We were provided with clean sheets and made the bed ourselves. As it was late and there was nothing else that could be done. The hotel did nothing for us as a result of this disgusting incident. We weren’t even provided an email copy of our invoice as promised

The hotel itself is great. But omg it shouldn’t take 10 minutes to check each guest in, especially with only one person working the front desk. After waiting 20 minutes to get to the front of the line to simply check in, the front desk couldn’t find my Expedia reservation. I had to wait for it to show up. No idea how that works. I was not checked in until 1.5 hours after I arrived!! Expedia needs to have a talk with this place.

The hotel was very nice and the staff was excellent on check-in and informative for the area. The review goes down because of the parking lot and break-in on my car. While this was not the fault of Moonrise it is their responsibility to ensure safe premises. I believe multiple vehicles were broken into so this is definitely an issue for management to correct. I had a 5 hour drive home with no drivers window- definitely ruining a good weekend getaway with my wife.

I loved the theme of this hotel, every nook and cranny was decorated with something cute. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Parking was easier than expected in the public lot behind the hotel and the metro stop was less than 10 minutes away on foot. I only wish I had had more time to enjoy the upstairs bar area.
