Top McKinley Beach Hotel Reviews

Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I were on the road and we missed our regular visits to a B&B not far from home. Saint Kate came up on our search offering a trifecta: a genuine art gallery, live music at the bar and weekend brunch. We were not disappointed. The entire hotel experience is about the arts, from the soap in the bathroom shaped like pink erasers we went to school with, to the galleries spanning two floors, to the DJ entertaining us at Saturday morning brunch that was like our B&B experience. WiFi might be underpowered here, but if you're here for work, you're missing the point of the experience. Stow the laptop, put your work phone on mute, and let your hair down and enjoy!"
