Doc, you beat me to the punch 
I'm in st louis 6 or 7 times a year.
Mostly I stay in the Clayton area, and have to strongly disagree with those that have posted negative commnets about the Sheraton Clayton Plaza.
I love this hotel, the staff are one of the best i've dealt with anywhere. They have a nice club level, Rhonda the club level concierge is terrific.
The hotel also offers free airport transportation.
I also, stay out in westport now and then, and just love the sheraton westport, the lakeside property is lovely and westport has lots of restuarants within a 150 yard walk of the hotel.
I almost never stay downtown, so i can;t offer much advice on hotels. The adam's mark has a nice buffet dinner, I'm not sure what days of the week they run it, but the food is excellent.
Clayton is about 15 mins from downtown, unless traffic is awful, westport is a hike to downtown.
Totallly disagree about the Clayton Plaza except the bit about Rhonda. She's very friendly and helpful. But the club level is just awful. Been to better club floors. I guess I'm just not used to domestic club floors. Domestically I'm usually at Westins.
