A tale with two different endings. I have skied Beaver Creek 25 to 30 times over the last 30 plus years. I have stayed at St. James nearly half of these trips. St. James has a responsive staff, nice lobby, complimentary coffee, work-out facility second only to the Park Hyatt Spa within BC village, convenient location, comfortable underground parking, and earns a 5 star rating. These items are part of the reason I have stayed at St. James so many times. All of my prior visits were in units in satisfactory to exceptional condition.
This unit has a nice and comfortable common area/dining area. The kitchen and bathroom are in desperate need of remodels as they are dated with many items in poor/unsatisfactory condition. I believe that the bathrooms are original and probably 25 plus years old. The unit had mildew in the master bath caulk, missing knobs on kitchen cabinet doors, broken lamp on/off switch rendering it useless, toilet seats in poor condition, cheap/plastic plates/bowls, mismatch wine glasses, spotty kitchen wear, and earns a one star rating for the unit. St. James is a wonderful facility, I will rent in the building again, yet this unit needs an upgrade. I have rented on VRBO multiple times and this is my first disappointing experience.
