Great location

You cannot beat the location and view and this is what you are paying for. Many good cafes and restaurants near by and right on the beach. Very comfortable bed and a large room. However, small details let the quality down considering the cost of the rooms e.g. Broken hair dryer, missing hand soap and other amenities in the bathroom until the last housekeeping service etc.

On the Nose

A quick check-in. Internal open carpeted staircase and lift access to Room 401. Beautiful surf vista through large glass door and windows the width of the room. Loved the chaise lounge setting, so comfortable. Dining setting, coffee plunger. Our anticipation at staying at this chosen beachfront accommodation was marred by a strong bleach like smell that permeated the room. The window was open when we entered and the wind was howling into the room. When we removed our shoes we discovered that a 1 metre square patch of wet sodden carpet directly outside the bathroom door. I have an aversion to chemical smells and as it got colder and windier I shut the window but the fumes gave me a headache and the musty smell mixed with the bleach smell so had to open the window for the night. My husband slept badly because when he laid on the left side of the bed it sunk down to the base, the right side was well sprung. My husband ended up with back pain and sat on the couch for half the night. Upon checking out, I mentioned the bleach smell, as well as stating it on the check-in survey, and how we didn’t shower for fear it may be a drainage problem because of the wet carpet. The reception staff said that there had been issues in 401 and 402 the previous couple of days but they believed they were fixed and yes the smell would be bleach. This information would have been appreciated when we checked in. Shows a lack of courtesy and respect for paying guests.

The room we booked was supposed to have a partial sea view but you could only see the sea view from outside on the balcony. This was very disappointing. We upgraded to a more expensive room on the second night which was lovely.

Happy @ Hotel St Clair

Stayed two nights in a balcony room overlooking the beach, which was lovely. Our room was forgotten by housekeeper for daily service, but another staff member sorted this for us. Comfortable & clean with good parking.
