30 James Street is nothing other than OK. It's not great, it's not the worst. The room is very outdated, very basic, shower is utter rubbish, the bath is very high so if you suffer with health issues you would have trouble getting in and out of the shower.
It did the trick for 1 night, and that's all it did. I would much rather stay in the Premier Inn which I normally do when visiting Liverpool on the Albert Docks. The reason I stayed here as it accommodated 5 adults, but would be nice if some rooms had 5 single beds as opposed to 2 doubles and an old, horrible leather settee that turned in to a sofa bed.
The price paid for the apartment really is a little over the top as the pictures on the website really make it look like the Ritz but it isn't at all.
