I stay in a lot of hotels during the week as I am working away a lit. This has to be one of the worst experiences I have had. From the moment I walked into reception the dissapointment started, the decor doesnt look likeits been changed since the hotel was built and the stale smell filled the air. Waited 20... More

Anyway I was pleased to see the reception staff were polite and had more customer service. the room... More

Dear Guest I welcome all comments from our guests and I am glad you enjoyed the evening. However the altercation between my Duty Manager and the people concerned was not as fully described in your comments. I will be happy to discuss this with you privately and the reasons this incident occurred. Kind regards Paul Grantley General Manager More

I stayed here for a few weeks with work, I found the rooms very old fashioned, the food barely edible and the staff not very friendly either. On the bright side, the restaurant looks out onto a big square which tends to be full of all kinds of people so if you like people watching this is a great spot.

I spent 4 days nights here and it was not a pleasurable experience. I have attached photos which hopefully you can see. I have tried to upload pics to Trip Advisor before and it hasn’t worked. The photos are of a prison cell style wash basin, some mahogany 1970’s static caravan furniture, the bare brick walls that give a ‘Prisoner... More

Very well situated just on the edge of the town centre. Within walking distance of Grimsby Shopping centre and also the train station. Free parking. The staff are very helpful and attentive. However, the hotel itself is very run down and does need a face lift. Hotel rates are extremely reasonable. I have stayed three times and would return.

As soon as you enter the lobby it is obvious it is tired and in need of a lot more than TLC. The reception desk personnel were good and welcoming. In the lift to the third floor and the tired out lift, carpeted on the walls, creaked and groaned slowly up to the top. I then made a decision that... More

I was on the road and needed somewhere in Grimsby in a hurry. Unfortunately I found the St, James. This has to be one of the grimiest, tatty, out of date places I've ever stayed. It looks like it hasn't been decorated in eons hence the chipped paintwork everywhere the filthy ceilings and the filthy walls in the bedroom. The... More

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms clean and have been updated, bathrooms clean but in need of improvement. Hotel is very dull on both outside and inside. I found it very unappealing. Ok for one night and price was reasonable. Breakfast poor value for money.
