My stay at The James was quite memorable, thanks to the friendly and attentive staff who seemed to genuinely care about my experience. The modern decor and cleanliness of the hotel enhanced my comfort, although the room itself had a somewhat depressing view that didn't let in much light. Overall, the location was perfect for exploring the city, and the value for the amenities provided was impressive, especially considering the free Wi-Fi.
