10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay! Everything was excellent from start to finish. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and our room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The hotel is beautiful, well-maintained, and everything felt like it was at a very high standard. We truly enjoyed our time here and had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will happily come back again!"

How can I get to St. James and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in St. James can help keep you on budget. The nearest airport is Wilmington, NC (ILM-Wilmington Intl.), 25 mi (40.2 km) away. However, if that doesn't suit your budget, the next closest is 36 mi (57.9 km) away: North Myrtle Beach, SC (CRE-Grand Strand).
