"We enjoyed our stay at this charming historic hotel. The room was nicely appointed, and the staff was helpful. We would certainly stay at the St. James again."

"As a business owners, I dont leave bad reviews because usually a company at least tries. I have waited over 2 weeks to leave this review, however, to see if Evolve would refund me. They havent. The safety and cleanliness issues need no explanation if you look at the photos. This place was gross, smelly, and unsafe. It had improperly placed fire extinguishers, dirty cabinets, bad sheetrock and peeling up flooring, faulty wiring/ lights and an unphotographed bullet hole in a door. The fence that they associate with safety was delapidated and I told them that their security system was no deterrant in that bad neighborhood. We couldnt leave our trucks, loaded with equipment, there for fear of theft. I called the company, evolve, to tell them that the place was unsafe, and unsanitary and that we were leaving. They said okay and opened a case *to see what the property owner would do about it*. I have provided photos and explained my complaints but they defend the property owner and blame us for a fallen door (that almost fell on my carpenter associate who only tried to open it). This fight has been going on for over 2 weeks and they claim to be waiting on proof from the property owner. I'm getting impatient and am really upset that the company upholds NONE of its satisfaction garantees. "

"This is no 5 star hotel BUT it was clean and in a convenient location. The front desk lady Audrey was very pleasant to talk to in the morning. I wish I could remember the girl name, but she has lots of tattoos and cleans the rooms. She really took the time out to make sure I was in a room near my sister and that my room was clean and had fresh towels. She told me to wait 15-20 minutes and was done in 10 minutes! And told me to make sure I let her know if there are any issues. That made me feel like she took pride in her work and appreciated me as a customer. I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical at first when I pulled up because this isn't a "really nice" hotel. But it was clean and staff was friendly. King size bed was comfy too!"

Holiday rentals offer extras like laundry facilities and kitchens so you'll have a home away from home. If you're concerned about a clean environment, a holiday rental can offer a sense of privacy away from shared hotel lifts and busy reception areas while still allowing you the experience of travel. You'll also have more space in a holiday rental than in a standard hotel, which makes a holiday rental an attractive option for a small group gathering.
