I also had a bad experience at the St. James Suites. I stayed there for business, but luckily it was only for 4 days. First of all, I was really looking foward to swimming in the pool and laying out in the sun, since there was a pool advertised on the website (I'm from Buffalo, NY, so nice, warm weather is not very commom). There was no pool - well, apparently there was, but it was completed demolished and under construction. It didn't even appear that anyone was working on it the entire time was there.
The space of the room was really great - nice kitchen and living room, huge closet - but the walls were so incredibly thin and the beds were terribly uncomfortable. My neighbors had children and screaming parents. I called the front desk and complained several times, but it didn't seem to help. I had to move my room, which was a pain. There were also quite a few "shady" characters staying on the first floor of the hotel in one particular room.
Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Maybe for a large family, but there isn't even a pool for the kids! A business buddy of mine stayed at the hotel next door, the Fairfield Inn, so I spent our time off at that pool. I would suggest that hotel or the Holdiay Inn, which is also next door. Their restaurant was great, too.

I booked a room at the St. James Suites for two LONG weeks for a business trips. I called at least 5 hotels before booking this one, but they were completely booked. The one and only review on this website seemed very positive, so I figured I'd be OK...wow, was I wrong. When I first walked into my room, I thought, "wow, this is great" because it was so large...full kitchen, dining table, extra sink in the bedroom, etc. Eventually, I began to learn of the horrors of st. james...SCREAMING children on either side of my room...I asked to have my room moved but I was assured that they would be leaving in a day...wrong...they extended for a week...so I eventually ended up moving to another room, only to be tortured by yet more screaming kids on the other side of my new room. Next, the "pool" adverstised on the website (which been suddenly removed since I complained) is non-exsistent...there WAS a very small pool, but now it's just a pile of dirt and cement. Nice. Next, there were literally nightly visitors from a motorcycle gang...I'm assuming they had some convention here or they were just visiting friends EVERY night...only to leave at 11 at night, blaring their motorcycles, adding to the "peace and quiet" of the "lovely" hotel. Ah, yes, nighttime...trying to sleep was a challenge enough with those awful kids...but with those beds and pillows...oh man...the bed was literally like plywood...it was so awful...the pillows felt like deflating beanbags...what is wrong with this hotel manager? The hotel was not cheap, either! Luckily I didn't have to pay for the room..my business did...
The hotel is located right off of I-95, so the lovely roar of cars and trucks is also a nice addition to the hotel. The walls are SO paper thin that I cannot even believe they built a hotel like this. One more thing...there is no elevator...there are only 2 floors, but when you have a ton of luggage and equipment, climbing those stairs is enjoyable...oh, yes...almost forgot...when I asked for help with my luggage when I first checked in, the girl at the front desk tried to wake up the "bell hop", who was passed out on the couch in the conference room (it was only 9PM(=). He told her "get the f... away" and let him sleep. Nice...enjoy yourself at the St. James. I HIGHLY recommend it.

One word...WOW! My husband and I could not believe how large this hotel room was. It had a large living area, dining room, and kitchen. The bedroom was separate with two queen beds, a bathroom, and a separate sink/vanity outside of the bathroom. Perfect for a family or group who plan to stay in the area and spend time in the room (cooking, hanging out, and such). My husband and I were just passing through for the night on our way to Fort Myers, FL. I wish we had been able to spend more time in the area.
