The bed was super soft and the pillows very fluffy!
A little hard to figure out where to park. Valet was the only choice and had to drive around the block a few times to figure it out.

This historic hotel was re-furbished beautifully. It is so much more enjoyable to stay at a one of a kind hotel rather than the same old hotel chains I've been doing. There were many nice touches to the room. The bathroom ceiling was had a recessed square ceiling that was hand painted with a scene of a sky and birds. The sink was a wood veneer and lovely. The bed and bedding was soft and comfortable. read more

Free internet access.
Asked for my credit card at check-in for incidentals. Would not return slip at checkout.

Well worth the money I paid! The amenities were great and the room and hotel in general were clean.

Lots of charm.
No airport shuttle.

This hotel is on the national registry of historical landmarks. Both the exterior and interior have classic charm not found very often.

Good Location Downtown.
The television set did not work and I was told it was not just my room, but I felt that I was given a bad room for paying a lower price.

The Staff was very courteous. They just did not seem to have a handle on their television system which was of frustration for me as I was planning on relaxing in front of the television for the evening. It was if they did not have cable which they did but I could get better reception with Rabbit ears.

It's near Original Joe's restaurant.
Lousy water pressure/nozzles, no non-skid in shower, crummy location for highways, noisy.

It's good-looking, well-kept, but only a good location if what you're doing is in downtown. Way too noisy inside and from sounds outside. Clerk full of s__t, arrogant, etc., definitely NOT knowledgeable.

You cannot compare a "Historic" Hotel with a chain. Lots of charm
Along with historic you might not have all the electric outlets you need.

Historic hotels are my favorite type of hotel and the Sainte Clair has all of old world charm with an open spacious lobby and marvelous ceilings. The staff was extremely helpful and could not do enough for us. Although the electrical outlets were few we did manage to get our cell phones charged and the free internet usage in the business center was a plus. The rooms although not spacious were nicely appointed with good water pressure, air conditioning, etc. We were attending a wedding in Santa Clara and did not have a chance to eat dinner but managed to have a great breakfast at their restaurant. Thanks for a wonderful stay. read more
