Facility Overview
Situated at 1110 St Louis Ave in the historic Near North Side of St. Louis, Missouri, the Days Inn Parking facility offers practical, open-air surface parking just minutes north of Downtown St. Louis. Because this location operates as an expansive open-sky ground lot without vertical overhangs or structural clearance barriers, it accommodates a broad spectrum of vehicle types. Drivers of compact sedans, mid-size crossovers, full-size SUVs, extended-bed pickup trucks, and commercial vans can park comfortably without the clearance height anxieties typical of tight downtown multi-level parking garages. The lot features wide vehicle aprons and straightforward entry and exit pathways, enabling easy maneuvering during regular business hours and event surges alike.
