St. Clair Inn

Kim at the front desk was so helpful even helped me with my suitcase.

No coffee maker

Beautiful old fashioned Victorian feel, great views, two beautiful fireplaces in the lobby area

Would’ve liked to be able to control the temperature of the room a little better.. really hot no way to turn it down

Every staff member I crossed paths with was fantastic! They were enthusiastic, knew a lot about the Inn, made recommendations, went out of their way to make our stay memorable, talked about the major renovation currently occurring. The renovations in no way impacted our stay - we heard no noise, we weren’t inconvenienced in any way and in fact got to have a look at the ballroom. Service in the restaurant was very friendly and efficient and the food was very good. The view was spectacular and we really appreciated fresh hot coffee by either of the two fireplaces, as well as watching the sunrise on the courtyard terrace. Bonus that a few freighters came by and we felt like they were right beside us - so close and so large. Amenities in the room were nice. The entire building has been renovated and they kept the feel of 100 years ago while also offering appropriately updated amenities to go with the overall design. I stayed in a suite which was really nice - good size with a separate sitting area. I wouldn’t recommend that couples share an original room in the Inn, I think they would find it too cramped. Definitely worth upgrading to the suite. The newer addition does not have that issue, rooms are sized to current standards.

Temperature controls in the room were an issue for us - we could not set the thermostats where we wanted them and there was no clear guidelines to assist us. Fortunately the windows opened, however my room was still way too warm for me. Original rooms in the inn are quite small, as it was the norm for 100 years ago. Unfortunately those couldn’t be enlarged during the renovations. My friend had to sit on the end of the bed to look out the window as there was no room for a chair. These rooms would definitely be best suited for a solo traveler who just planned to stay in the room to sleep.

Bonus sparkling wine.

The heating/cooling wasn’t working. Had to order a fan to keep the room cool. Refrigerator in the room didn’t work. Had to throw out food.
