Based on my experience, it is not essential to stay that close to the Dome. Last year I traveled with 303 and we stayed at the Residence Inn St. Louis Galleria. It is a two minute walk from a metro station, and we used the metro to get around anywhere we need to go. Although it is a long ride to the Dome (about 20 or so minutes), it is a simple route. Although you have to make one transfer, you can access it from the airport as well. It is about a 5 minute walk from the Galleria and there are plenty of food options there. It also includes a free breakfast. Last year my parents were able to book a room there two weeks before CHampionships for about $149.
