St James Hotel

Stayed here while on business in Nottingham. First impressions were good — lovely reception area and a bar towards the back that looked very inviting after a drive and long day working.
Check in was easy and I was given the WiFi code without having to ask.
Room was big enough for two and was clean, although quite warm. I opened a window before I went for dinner and it helped a little.
Bar was really welcoming and I would have quite happily stayed there instead of venturing into town.
Bed was good, shower worked with hot water (I had my shower at midnight though, not sure what it’s like in the morning…) and the room was surprisingly dark considering it was opposite a carpark.
3 stars instead of 4 = I was told quite forcefully that breakfast was between 7am — 9am. I got there at 7am and breakfast wasn’t ready to be served (it was self service). No hot items had been brought out, no pastries, no cheeses or meats. I hardly ever stay in hotels, so when I do I look forward to the breakfasts. Unfortunately I had to be back in the office, so although the hot food was brought out at 7.30am and the pastries a little after I didn’t have time to try. Why state a time and not be ready by that time? That was my only disappointment.
