Hotel St. James
Genuinely loved this quaint little place! The staff were very friendly. I only gave the overall rating a 4 due to the old furniture and uncomfortable mattress in the room. Rooms need a coffee pot and new furniture and this place would be perfect. Honestly though, it wouldn’t keep us from booking ...
