The size of the apartment was perfect. It felt homey! The location was excellent for walking to the restaurants and bars. We have stayed in Kentucky previously, in several hotels, however the St Clair has been the best experience by far!

The St.Clair was a unique property that was warm, welcoming and very comfortable. The staff communicated frequently via text or email to ensure our stay was going smoothly. We loved the decor and cleanliness of the St. Clair. There were many options for dining within walking distance and attractions were a short drive away. The Howser Tavern inside of the St.Clair is beautifully appointed, has a wonderful and friendly staff and delicious cocktails and food. I would highly recommend a stay at the St.Clair. We hope to return one day soon!

Overall a great property. Loved the location and the ambiance. Getting luggage from parking to room was very difficult. Also they left 2 coffee pods for a 2 night stay. Sent a message asking for more and never got a reply…so had to go offsite for coffee. Otherwise a nice stay.

Okay but could be a great place

Clean and nice kitchen but furniture and bed was not comfortable. Nowhere to unload your bags except at the street and parking was in garage across the street. There was no parking spaces available upon arrival. The place has great potential with a few upgrades.

We never received access code or room information prior to arrival. Upon arrival we called to get said information and were told the 2 bedroom suite we booked (for 3 adults and 1 child) was not available and there had been a booking error. We were offered a one bedroom option which we took after driving 3.5 hours and it was 10pm. Awful customer service. Minimal effort made to make up for the error.

Our stay was awesome! I do wish we could have watched live TV cause I have to purchase Netflix for one night so we had something to watch. But the outside neon light outside gave such a cool glow at night time. This whole apartment had such an awesome vibe to it. Five stars for sure

We had a little trouble getting in to the room but the host was so quick to respond and fix the issue quickly. The room was so cute and comfortable. It’s located upstairs from a restaurant right in the downtown area with plenty of restaurants to walk to. Overall, we had a great stay and would absolutely stay here again.

Not a very practical accommodation. Virtually no surfaces to set anything on. No coffee table, tiny bedside tables. Bathroom configuration is strange. Only place to hang a towel is the farthest point from the shower. TP holder out of reach from toilet. Small ironing board provided, but no iron.
