I have many memories and stories when I worked there as a Resident Manager in the early 70's.

Share your memories of this site.

One of the more memorable stories is when I had the opportunity to work along with the Secret Service advance detail and Welcome President Gerald Ford to the Hotel. Here I was a guy who grew up in St. Louis North County, standing in front of one of the best hotels in country, shaking hands and welcoming the President of the United States to our city and our hotel. For someone in their mid 20's it didn't get much better than that!
