I stayed here for 4 days. It's located in a really cool part of Frankfurt with plenty to do on your stay. The room was decorated well, and it had a fully stocked kitchen setup. It is quite chic and modern in appearance. But, it was a miserable stay while in the room. The bed didn't feel right and I slept horribly the first night. I sweated by *** off, and woke up with a head ache. Upon investigation I find that the bedding is made of plastic, the kind you might find on a crib mattress. Not just the bed cover, but the duvet cover was plastic, the pillow covers were plastic, everything except two thin sheets. I don't know if you've ever slept in a plastic bag, but I sucks. The second reason I slept poorly was the floor is very slanted and uneven. I dropped a gatorade bottle and it immediately took off across the room. I then tried to replicate this and sure enough the floor was slanted enough that the bottle would take off on it's own across the room. Back to the not sleeping, I could sleep because the head of the bed was downhill from the foot of the bed. Another major issue was the parking. The parking garage was narsty, like bat****, musty smelling grossness. On top of that the stairways and elevators getting to the elevator were ever worse. I checked out and the hotel kept sending me requests to rate them. If it wasn't going to be a 5 star review they wanted to know. I told them everything I'm writing here, at which point I never heard from them again.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The St. Clair is a wonderful short-term rental, in a perfect location, with great amenities, a wonderful lounge with Speakeasy, and clean comfy living areas. One can walk to so many cocktail lounges, restaurants, museums, and retail shops.

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.

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
