We love the view of the sea from this room. The apples need to be changed for fresher fruit. There was no second remote for the telly. We thought Executive room would be larger. Staff were great as always.

Dear Susan, Thanks for taking time to write your review. It was puzzling to discover you only had one of two TV remotes; we replaced this immediately and apologise again. We are sorry to hear you were not happy with the room size. ‘Executive Ocean View’ rooms are our smallest room type, slightly smaller than other room types. We have taken in your feedback and aim to improve future advertising regarding room description/sizes. Kind regards, Hotel St Clair

Room could of done with refurbishing. Bathroom was the smallest we have ever had and the extra cost for this location was not worth it. View was amazing but room was let down.

That view, alone, is worth every cent - not to mention the sound of the waves. My 4th time staying and certainly won’t be my last.
