The hotel was brilliant and a great location next to the retail park with many options for food - but there is an option for evening meal and breakfast deal with hotel + beefeater pub opposite. Had some trouble checking in but it was not the hotel's fault it was with the booking through this app - Trip. The women behind the desk was helpful and all was resolved. Never had issues with train bookings but first time with hotels.
Staff were good at check in and were polite, however when another guest caused us problems and I could have escalated it a lot further, the staff didn’t really want to know or seem to care, weren’t helpful or very empathetic I had to contact trip to get resolved. It ruined the weekend away and it made me want to also leave early it really wasn’t a great time away.
It was well located and had a fuel station nearby which stocked plenty of food choices and a Greggs even ! Location was good for transport ample parking too.
The cleanliness was overall a 50/50 there was dust where perhaps there shouldn’t be lampshades top headboard, was a tad dated but functional, and the bed was comfy. Bathroom was overall ok, modern in some areas others lacking a bit and looking tired.
Breakfast wasn’t too bad, but some bits I found weren’t to my own taste the bacon was odd to me but being a buffet type Ijust didn’t have it again, they did have pastry’s, cereal toast and condiments with drinks like juice, water tea coffee etc.
ผผู้เข้าพักAfter a little confusion with the entry system to the room, it was mainly my fault for misunderstanding the message, but this was dealt with swiftly with a call to the 24 support number. Perhaps listing the entry process and room entry system under 2 clear, separate headings in the communications may have made it clearer. It was also implied that the parking bays were in some way numbered or identifiable with the room number, but this wasn't the case. Apart from those small things, both dealt with quickly the room was clean, a good size and offered plenty of refreshments & breakfast options for us. The shared spaces were clean and appeared welcoming. Bed was comfy and shower great, but curtains or a blind would have been appreciated over the thin net panel window covering which was present. Would definitely come back again, good distance from the castle - about 30 mins walk - good value for price paid
DDaniel069As a solo traveler, I felt right at home at The St. James Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. The hotel's central location made it easy to explore Grimsby's attractions and local cuisine. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
MMichaelInceTiveyArrived in the first room to find what looked blood on the floor in the room. Promptly changed via reception.
Air conditioning on our floor was broken and fixed on the second day but a bad night due to hitting 26 degrees in the room and an extremely hard and uncomfortable bed
New topper fitted and a sheet and fan left by housekeeping made for a better second night's sleep.
The new room had a bouncy floor in the bathroom due to the grouting being broken and missing letting water in.
Both rooms had sinks that where crazy cracked and with black in the cracks
Shower leaked on the hose
Some channels not available on the free view tv
Power cables where exposed on the wall lights
Corridor carpets are tired and dirty with lots of black marks and bleach spots from housekeeping
The window in the rooms where tiny and the room lighting is quite poor
Breakfast was fine usual continental and fried available
With fruit yoghurt lovely view of lincon
Enjoyed the stay once the room was sorted and changed
But I did expect better and would have preferred not to have complained

ผผู้เข้าพักWe had a wonderful stay here previously and so returned for a night. This time it wasn't quite as pleasant. The toilet seat in the bathroom had a big crack in the lid and was more than just loose in the sense that it almost came off when sat on. The shower curtain was mouldy and uncleaned mirrors and cobwebs. The staff were all very pleasant and the bar and restaurant area were lovely. I did use the toilets at the bar. One was taken and the other 2 cubicles were soiled so maybe not checked as often as required.
Overall the room was warm and there was lots of storage space and a nice big bed. It wasn't unpleasant although I'd not be as keen to return again as I was last time.
