    Decided on a whim to book a room in St.Clair, MI as a getaway. We must have gotten the last room! The St Clair Inn is located right on the St Clair River. It was the 4th of July, so it was busy. The Inn staff was welcoming. They host a "watch" area for the fireworks, bring chairs or sit in the hotel's chairs. A few items: staff from the hotel should be available to help with chair set up Front desk staff should understand the workings of the fireworks show. They did not know the time it would start and were vague on how to "save" your spot for the show Cleaning staff needs to be trained to check all aspects of the room. A blouse was left in the closet of our room which leads one to question what else was overlooked. Still overall a pleasant stay, with an amazing fireworks show.

    What a hidden gem! I've been wanting to stay here for quite a few years, but most of the time, my travels take me to further destinations. Located approximately 45 minutes from home, I typically will do a day trip to this area. This past Friday, I was lucky to finally book a stay at the Inn because we had a wedding to attend a few miles away. We didn't want to drive that far late at night, especially after indulging in libations. I booked a King Suite for us. The Inn has been undergoing extensive renovations and our room was beautifully decorated. Don't expect to have a large expansive suite, being an Inn, the rooms are very small, but quaint and romantic. They did a great job utilizing every inch of the room. I loved the high tall ceilings and wooden beams. The bathroom was adorned in marble tile and the shower AMAZING! There was a large screen tv mounted on the wall and plenty of space for your luggage. I truly appreciated the travel steamer instead of a typical ironing board. We even enjoyed a few cups of cappuccino in the morning from the unique coffee maker. We took our time exploring the Inn; it has such a history. The outside is picturesque; we just loved walking the grounds. The view of the river is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed sipping on a few cocktails watching the freighters go by. The Inn also has a beautiful pool area overlooking the water. Unfortunately, it was being worked on and wasn't open for guests. Trust me, I can't wait to come back and take a dip in the pool. There is a wooden boardwalk that leads you down to the river and sets the mood for an evening stroll along the water. As for food, the Inn has two main areas for dining. There is a main room, make reservations, and a spot called the The Dive Bar, which offers a huge bar and an area for casual dining. This was the area we enjoyed our liquid breakfast. lol They served fantastic mimosas and my friend indulged in the Blood Mary bar. Actually, I'm not a huge fan of the Bloody, but he made it perfect, not too spicy. He even offered me his pickle, as he knows I'm obsessed with them. lol The weather was absolutely perfect so we decided to sit on the large patio area overlooking the river. They offered a breakfast buffet until 2PM on Saturday, but we had another place to go for lunch, so we unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try the food. One of the coolests parts of the hotel, is the speakeasy, known as the Prohibition Room. Nothing says classy, like a dimly lit room with plush leather couches, sipping on a glass of Bourbon. The only thing that would have added to this experience....a cigar of course! If you are out in the area, or if you just need a little getaway, the St.Clair in is an experience. Bonus: Noon check out!!!!!!!!

    I wish I could give this place more than five stars. We came here in the middle of the week to celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary. We got the room on the top floor that had the balcony so we could sit out there and watch freighters. Unfortunately it rained superhard so we sat in the room and looked out the window as some of the freighters went by. We did stop in the bar to have a quick drink and it was not very busy at all, which is to be expected mid week in late September. It was already dark out so we couldn't enjoy the wonderful view of the river but I'm sure it is an absolute gorgeous view during the day. The room was small but very attractive. It was great for an overnight trip but I don't think I would want to spend a whole week living out of a room that small. In the morning before checking out my husband and I explored more of the hotel. We could see a little bit the night before when the front desk clerk showed us around but we looked at more of the rooms in the daylight. I could easily see you spending a snowy day curled up in front of one of the fireplaces in the lounge and reading a book. My husband and I have already talked about how we do plan on coming back in the winter to enjoy a snowy day at the hotel.

    We loved the architecture outside, and it was a lovely structure that clearly holds a lot of memories. We entered with excitement and headed to the dive bar for a drink and some food. In addition to two drinks of Carolan's coffee, we first ordered bruschetta. Although the drinks were excellent and exactly what I needed, the bruschetta was cold, had a hard texture, and the toppings only served to make it soggy. When the waitress and her manager asked about our experience and learned that we weren't happy, they said they were introducing new recipes that were based on the original prohibition restaurant. I wanted to enjoy it because the concept intrigued me. The Mediterranean pizza came in second on the order, so while the crust was good, the interior was not fully baked. Our waitress also mentioned that the recipe had changed. Even though I was discouraged at this point in the evening, I still wanted to give them another chance in the desert. I ordered banana creme brulee and devoured the entire brulee and was pleased with both the texture and flavor, so I wasn't let down.

    Mimosas and a view!

    The Dive Bar is not at all a dive. It is at water-level with a panoramic view of the St. Clair River. Great atmosphere and food. I guess I would call it a "Chicago bar menu" with hand tossed pizzas, beef brisket tips and such. We have been for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They know how to cover all menus well!

    Floor & cupboard doors & surfaces filthy dirty.

    We were very much looking forward to our over night get-way after the re-opening of the this historic landmark. The staff is extremely sweet and understanding but we feel that before booking your reservation make sure you understand this is an open floor concept as far as being able to hear all noice levels from the bar, to the laminated LOUD floors that are in the hallways of the hotel, they accept kids in the hotel and parents that feel they didn't need to control them. We were almost taken down by 6-8 kids on the stair landing because they were running up & down the hotel halls and sliding down the stairs. Even the front desk had to take action which was not the first that evening. We also were a bit confused as to why you would have two rooms that share a balcony facing the river and NO partition between the rooms and shear curtains with no blinds so anyone in those two rooms can see straight in. Just an uneasy feeling. . We did ask the front desk if we could be moved to a quieter area of the hotel and unfortunately the only room they had available was still directly across from the many families that were staying so we opted not to move because it wouldn't have solved the issue. We have also shared some pictures of our room that was supposedly cleaned. Very disappointed in the stay and the hotel but NOT the staff.

    I lost water in my neighborhood, so checked online and St Clair Inn had a good room rate. We got to the Inn, checked in to room (a river view with king sized bed). Room was clean, great shower and huge Tv. We went to the Dive bar for late dinner. Food and drinks were good. Overall, very happy with my stay.

    We love the St. Clair Inn! One of the Top 10 Must Visit establishments in Michigan!

    Love the St. Clair Inn! A must visit any time we are in Michigan! The amazing staff at the St. Clair Inn was gracious enough to allow my extended family and I to host our annual Family Christmas Party during the soft opening at the Inn this Christmas. Needless to say, everything about the experience was wonderful! The staff took care of our every need, the food was fantastic, and the Inn itself is an absolutely must visit location in Michigan! Beyond that, every time my family has visited the Inn, we have had a fantastic experience. I really can't say enough about the outstanding staff, gracious management, and incredible rooms that this Michigan icon has to offer.
