A comfortable one night stay. Attention to detail required to improve standard of cleaning.
Pros:

The bed was comfy and furnishings suitable for us. Reception staff were friendly and apologized when we discovered there was no space in the carpark for our vehicle. Quiet overnight with the occasional sound of vehicles passing by, no noise from other rooms overnight but there was noise from 6:30am onwards as people started moving about and closing doors.

Cons:

The property would have been luxury when it first opened, however it is showing signs of wear and tear. Towels and linen are getting worn, room needs a freshen up with brighter furnishings. Floor was not clean, kitchen tiles has dirt and a sticky mark on them which we noticed as soon as we arrived.

Very good place to stay with cafes close by... surfers to watch... a sauna on the sidewalk..
Pros:

Great view... comfortable.. The room was nice and spacious

Cons:

The kitchen could be better equipped. Unfortunately whenever we cooked the smoke detector went off.. The kitchen definitely requires a range hood

We love St Clair!
Pros:

Superb location overlooking the surf and busy esplanade. If you don’t like the sound of the surf then it’s not for you. Easy walking to local eateries and bars. Level 4 on the corner gave views in all directions, loads of surfers to watch.
The one bedroom suite is definitely worth paying a little extra.
Warm and friendly reception staff, and parking underground.

Cons:

Nothing at all.
