Understood it was a previous tenant and the replacement was on the way. Nothing the homeowner could do about it. Very friendly and great communication. Would rent again if in the area. ##### Theo Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
