Where are you staying? (CMP)

Where is everyone staying?

1038 has decided to stay at the Millenium for our first trip to St. Louis

The Millenium is a great place with a nice view. With it being your first trip to St. Louis when is your team scheduled to arrive? FIRST Team 2902's home town is St. Louis and we can meet up with you and just show you around town or offer good places to have fun. Food wise there are some great places downtown ( where you are staying ) and can offer advise wherever you decide to go.

We too will be competing in worlds so we will be glad to see you here!

Thanks to a well built robot and a bit of luck, my kid's team was on the winning alliance at the Silicon Valley Regional, so we find ourselves in the market for hotel rooms. We have a chance to book some rooms at the Millennium; I'm worried because I checked on some of the online hotel review sites and quite a lot of people were unhappy with the place.

Does anyone have any more info about it, pro or con? nick_champ_2, since you are locals, you seem positive about it, is that based on people who have stayed there recently?

Thanks

LiveWire stayed at the Millennium last year, and I personally had no problems with it. Nice rooms, a good pool, and a convenient location made it a good experience for us. I don't know what the reviews may be citing for their negative experiences, but from my experience, I'd definitely be willing to stay there again. The thing I didn't like was the lack of a free breakfast though

Embassy Suites at the Airport. It's closer than it seems when you consider that it's right off I-70, which has an exit that comes out right by the dome, only about a 15-20 minute commute.

The best way to get to the dome, from the airport, is to stay to the far left and get onto the bypass lane. This way you miss all the on/off ramps. The first off ramp you get to is to the dome. Real fast commute.

I'll make sure our coach bus driver is aware. (Yes, we'll have a coach bus. It's technically an out of state "field trip", so we are required to rent a coach bus.)
