I have stayed at the Drury Inn which is right across the street from Saint Louis Union Station. It was nice and had a very nice selection of amenities, the building itself is very cool as it was an old YMCA building converted into a hotel. It maintains a lot of the charm of the original design...
I am just glad that they will make a community toilet in the V II cars vs the individual toilets in the V I cars. That said having a mixed inventory like you said would be a nightmare to manage because what if a car is BO and replaced with a car with one less roomette.
