I stayed there for business this week. The staff is first class, everybody was very nice. Valet parking only.. that is fine.. but $21 per day you might as well add to the price of your overall stay. The king bed I had was fantastic. The bathroom was tiny. I did have an interior room, so noise was not a... More

The lobby and overall atmosphere are very nice but practically speaking, this is not a great place to stay. The hotel is very old so the rooms are small. Also, if you get a room with a street view you will hear the trolly passing by all night long. If you stay here, ask for an interior room. That being... More

I stayed at the Sainte Claire for a week for a business trip because the usual hotel I stay at was fully booked. As I checked in, they offered me a free upgrade because of the length of my stay - very impressed. The King size room is a bit bigger than the standard room. It has a king bed,... More

My family and I booked two rooms for New Year's Eve even though we live locally. We have eaten many times at their restaurant, Il Fornaio, which we love so we decided to stay overnight for New Year's Eve because we love the quiet elegance and the old world flavor. Last year we stayed at another hotel that is much... More

I chose the Ste. Claire for its location to our business at hand, the reviews on T.A. and the amenities listed such as free internet and 24 hour room service. Also, between The Hilton, Sheraton, and a few others I looked into, I got the best rate here. We have a winner! What was meant to be a quick trip... More

The Sainte Claire looks and feels like an older style hotel and the decor reminds you of older cosy hotels rather than modern ones. The room I got was smaller than modern hotel rooms but comfortable enough. The bathroom had a beautiful painted ceiling. The room faced the street however and there was constant noise from both people and trains... More

I never got a chance to stay here, due to some last minute complications, so I can't much. That brings me to me point: the staff here were very helpful. The aforementioned complications really were last minute, with me having to cancel less that 24 hours before I was to check in. Their site says "cancel by 3 pm the... More

Stayed at the Saint Claire for a week during a sales meeting. The hotel is really nice, the bedrooms are furnished very well and the place has a great old charm to it. Reminds me of a boutique New York hotel. My room had nice furniture a pretty large flat screen TV and a great bathroom. The tilework in the... More

Needs severe refurbishment. I have no idea how this hotel got good ratings. I live in hotels for work, and this one by far was the most uncomfortable creepy hotel. Everything was wet in my room. The towels were damp before I even turned on the shower. It clearly has a problem controlling the humidity so all the rooms had... More

If you like older, charming venues, then this classic hotel is right for you. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. It began with the reservations desk. My reservation had been mistakenly cancelled. Just prior to arriving, I called and there was no record of my reservation. They went out of their way to help make accommodations for me and... More
