The room was spacious and had been updated not to long ago. The 6th floor balcony offers an excellent view of the Bay. The only bad thing was the mattress was a little too firm, but I would stay again.

First time staying at the St. Lauren. Clean room and centrally located near the market and shops/restaurants. The lounge on the 6th floor had amazing views. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The only dislike was that not all ice machines were working on all floors but definitely not a deal breaker.

Barebones hotel, thin walls. Cleaning staff were incredibly loud in the morning, talking down the hall to each other. Sounded like they were in our room and talking normally. Glad we weren't trying to sleep in.

The location is good and I loved the deck. A full length mirror in the room would have been a nice addition but otherwise great experience.

Older hotel but clean and comfortable. Holiday weekend so very busy in town. The sink in our room needs a new aerator. With just the smallest bit of water pressure it would spray everywhere. I would stay there again.

Property needs a huge upgrade. I had a balcony that I couldn’t use because the door didn’t open the door knob was lose and it looked so unsafe. The bathtub was horrible and rusty. Overall too pricey for what they offered for a smelly room.

If you have to cancel, be sure to do it WAY ahead!

Fiancee had a family issue come up and couldn't go, and I didn't want to go alone. When I went online to cancel the room, I was notified that my cancellation window had expired 3 hours earlier. $210 down the drain!!
