St. Clair Inn

We stayed at the St. Clair Inn for one night in August. I wish we had stayed longer. For awhile the newer section of the Inn was being renovated and was not open. Now it is open and the rooms are lovely. They are spacious, clean, and are beautifully furnished. They have small refrigerators, but no microwave. The bathroom even had a magnifying mirror for putting on make-up. There was an iron to press any wrinkled items. We only ate at the Dive Bar/Restaurant and it had delicious appetizers and menu items. The staff everywhere was very friendly and helpful. We decided to pay extra for a balcony room and we were glad we did. The view of the St. Clair River and passing ships was exceptional. I am attaching pictures of our room. It was room 221. You'll love staying here.

We had my son's wedding here in June. We loved my daughter's so much last year, that the happy couple chose the St. Clair Inn as well. The staff was so attentive through the entire wedding planning and the wedding itself was perfect. And the food was AMAZING! It is definitely the best bang for your buck and the view cannot be beat!

What a delightful treat. The view from the room of our riverside patio accommodation was superb. The freighters were so close! The room itself was very good. Super clean! We would have appreciated a more firm mattress but that is our preference. Would also have liked to turn off the a/c fan completely as it got quite cold. BUT, we wouldn't hesitate to go back again and again. The food at The Dive restaurant was good - try the fried brussel sprouts. . . delicious! The continental breakfast of juice, coffee and pastries was most acceptable.

If you are looking for a romantic place to spend some time, look no further. This is the place you want to be. You almost get the feeling you are going back in time. The room and view was incredible!! Our dinner was delicious, can't wait to come back again!! Highly recommend this property!

Absolutely love The St Clair Inn. Elegant, modern, but with the feel of the 1930s. All of the staff is incredibly friendly and thoughtful. Dinner at The Dive does not disappoint. The food is fantastic ~ and very reasonably priced. We have a patio room opening to the river which is exquisite and spacious. This is a great getaway place! So much better than chains. For a unique experience of luxury and comfort, stay here!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a king balcony room on the river side of the St. Clair Inn. Arriving hungry, we headed straight for the hotel's little restaurant and bar along the river called the Dive. It was completely packed with Kentucky Derby watchers, so that's probably why our dinners took 45+ minutes to arrive. But they were great -- hers chicken in a delicious white pepper sauce, mine a nice New York *****, both paired with gloriously garlicky mashed potatoes and roast asparagus. (I ordered rare, and it came out medium rare, which is why I always order rare.) We split a bowl of some really good broccoli soup as an appetizer. Drinks were large and strong (mine a Manhattan, my wife's a margarita). A fruit tort dessert was really good too. Our room for the night wasn't very big, but it was beautiful, with upscale carpet, bedding, a nice firm mattress, a huge flat panel TV, and a really pretty tile bathroom with large walk-in shower. And what you're paying for here is the location. Right on the river, and giant freighters going by so close you feel like you could reach out and shake hands with the crew. After a good night's sleep we awoke to find the river completely socked in by fog, which made the freighters passing even more surreal -- you could hear the engines and the fog horns, but barely see them as shadows through the mist. The staff was great here, Disney-level "whatever you need" service. It's a little pricey, but between the location, the staff, the updated rooms, and how cool it is to be staying in a restored 1920s historic hotel, it's recommended. We'll be back.

Had a great stay, want to come back in the summer and check out the area more

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was our 2nd stay. We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving dinner at the Inn and visited Prohibition bar. The staff are very nice. Room and bed were very good. The only downside was that we could hear the Dive in our room and our neighbors were loud super early in morning. We will return as we really like coming here. Thanks for everything!

Great
