As soon as we checked into our hotel and I saw the courtyard behind the registration desk, I knew this wasn't going to be a problem. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 7 Gables Inn is a wonderful place to stay in Clayton, Missouri.
The courtyard of the inn is a lovely setting for a leisurely Sunday morning breakfast and place to read the newspaper.
7 Gables Inn is in a neighborhood of art galleries, shops and restaurants. Our morning stroll to church took a round about way so I could take a few pictures of the sidewalk dining spots, colorful containers, street trees, and adjacent neighborhood. Though I missed the Missouri Botanical Gardens, we found a way to visit St. Louis area and still spend time in a garden.
