Very clean hotel throughout from the lobby to the rooms and the outdoor pool. This is a great find on the waterfront with nice outdoor tables & chairs. Walking distance to several good restaurants. Check in was a breeze and the people are super friendly and accommodating.

Great Hotel on the St Clair River

Great place, in spite of the air conditioning system malfunction that kept the rooms at 62 degrees. The staff provided extra blankets and we had a good time in the beautiful surroundings. Great food, fun bar and big ships to watch.

Our room was small and noisy. Air was on a timer so it didn’t run continually. Our room was warm. Grounds could be beautiful for watching freighters but area lacks chairs to enjoy the water. Very little enthusiasm from staff and even the lobby held no appeal. I was sorely disappointed.

Great Atmosphere

The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated! The atmosphere was amazing and the Prohibition Bar was such a fun time! Mark creates the most delicious and interesting drinks. Omelets for breakfast at the Dive were also delicious. We would stay again!

This is the first time I stayed here. I grew up here but I never found myself as a guest. The facility was in excellent condition, the amenities were great, the staff I interacted with, Christina, mooka, brandy lynn and Jamie really went above and beyond to make sure every question was answered and every thing looked great!

Wonderful visit and can't wait to come back!

We'd heard great things about the St. Clair Inn and finally acted upon it. We arranged to meet friends from Canada during the weekend my band was playing at the Riverview Plaza across the street. The personal touch we received when booking our room, checking in, and finding our way around the property was nothing short of amazing! Kristina and her staff truly have a passion for what they do and we felt it. The room itself was beautiful and tastfully updated, and the pool deck was terrific. The icing on the cake was visiting their Prohibition Bar after our show....Bartender, Mark, was fantastic and shows a love for his craft...After listening to us describe our taste preferences, Mark recommended a little-known Detroit-origin cocktail, called a Last Word. He didn't disappoint and we thoroughly enjoyed the historic nightcap!

Temperature in the room was terrible. From too warm to freezing all night. Very small with the only option to sit on the bed. Room was clean but no microwave for leftovers and had to ask for ice. The shade on the window allowed sun to blast in first thing in the morning. Loud banging doors and people screaming at all hours. Not sufficient parking. Could not get a spot if you left the property. And the biggest issue was the pillows. No support at all like sleeping on a cotton ball.
