"The St.Clair was a unique property that was warm, welcoming and very comfortable. The staff communicated frequently via text or email to ensure our stay was going smoothly. We loved the decor and cleanliness of the St. Clair. There were many options for dining within walking distance and attractions were a short drive away. The Howser Tavern inside of the St.Clair is beautifully appointed, has a wonderful and friendly staff and delicious cocktails and food. I would highly recommend a stay at the...

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping and cleanliness was very good. Best of all we found the bed to be comfortable and the shower was enjoyable with plenty of hot water."
"Fantastic staff. Front desk was awesome. Walls are a bit thin but expected for that the property is. Only complaint was that the in room coffee amenities were not restocked while we we there for 2 nights. "
"Bed was comfortable. Water pressure was excellent. They had tea bags in the room besides coffee....yay! Room was spacious. Didn't need it, but there was an iron and an ironing board. Breakfast was good (just wish it started at 6 vs 6:30). Check in and check out was easy. Room was quiet."

![Kentucky State University was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky.[1] During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, the city donated $1,500 towards the purchase of land for a new college on a bluff overlooking Frankfort.
The new school formally opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president.[1] Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college's first permanent building, was erected in that year.
KSU became a land-grant college in 1890, and the departments of home economics, agriculture and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum.[1] The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the 20th century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons.](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/153e32620cffbd999fa3637cc30e197d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium)
