Overall my husband and I enjoyed our stay at the St. Clair Inn. Our double queen room was lovely...clean with comfortable beds...and a wonderful view of the river and passing ship traffic. The staff amazing and friendly. The main reason we picked the St. Clair Inn for our stay was because it is pet friendly. We travel with our toy poodle. Across the street within walking distance is a wonderful variety of restaurants and brew pubs. The reasons I did not give a five star overall is the thermostat was not working so our room was quite cold with the AC...shower and sink water never got hot only lukewarm...and the breakfast was a limited carb heavy continental. With that said we would come again...it is a lovely place to enjoy and relax by the water!

My sister and I enjoyed our 1 night stay at the inn. Christina was wonderful as the person we dealt with in the lobby plus her co-worker was wonderful as well . . . Sorry I didn’t get her name. The old English style pub was a fun way to end the evening. I would definitely stay again.

Not our best stay

We called and they said we could probably check in at two. When we showed up at almost 230 they said we would be lucky if we even got in at 3 PM. We explained that we have a wedding and would need to get in when checking out there was nobody at the counter. I had to leave the keys on the counter. It was very hard to find help at the front counter. Our breakfast took 15 minutes to get to us. Our room AC was not working properly in the room was the tiniest room we have ever stayed in. The pillows were not comfortable at all.

The Inn is beautiful! Staff is very friendly and helpful! Food and drinks were good. We stayed in an area where we could not control the temperature. This was fine for us at the time of our visit but could be an issue in very cold/hot weather. Our room was nice, spacious and clean. Balcony was a nice touch too. It is a bit loud with no carpet or anything to absorb sound but overall our stay was fantastic!
