Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was excellent - very close to all of the town facilities and the lake.
The room was very large.
Some of the decor was very tired, including stained here and there.
There is parking onsite but much of the parking has very low headroom and could not fit the rental car into the space so had to park elsewhere.
Limited access to staff, although phone connection available when they weren't at the desk.
Fantastic location a short, flat stroll into the centre of Queenstown. The apartment had everything we needed. The two bedrooms were on different floors which suited us with older children but might not suit families with younger children. It would be a great townhouse for two couples as each floor had everything you needed with downstairs having a 2nd loungeroom and small kitchenette. Would definitely stay again as it's such a convenient location.
The people at the St James we above an beyond to help us when we stuffed up our booking. We cannot thank them enough. We have stayed her before and will definitely be back.
This room cost was expensive for the quality of the property. Reception was unmanned and when I tried to contact anybody, I tried 3 times. Hard work. The shower was dreadful. Quality big tea was dreadful.

Building is in poor condition- the foyer was very untidy and littered. There was no ironing facilities in the room. One good thing was the receptionist was very nice.
We needed a location that was quick access to the airport for an early morning flight. This location worked just fine. It is located next to a police station and the alarms went off during the night (a little disrupting). We did enjoy the heated floors in the bathroom and the mini kitchenette. We were disappointed that the elevator wasn't working as we had 3 heavy suitcases. The parking is under the building (first come-first serve). It is tight but available. Overall, we would recommend this location.

Best location!
The most perfect location! The room was spacious and comfortable. Perfect for our family of 5.
Great location with Queenstown CBD just across the street. Beautiful views of the mountains. We stayed in the 2 Bedroom Executive suite and it was very spacious. My only negatives would be that inside could use with a revamp and mattresses need to be replaced however would definitely come stay their again. Staff are very friendly and property outside is really well
Maintained.

Plenty of space but this is a tired property in desperate need of a refurbish.
Very slow internet.
