The St. James is the most amazing hotel. The charm and elegance of the grand old St. James is everywhere throughout the place. Food is really good. The rooms are numbered and Named. When checking out, make sure you are packed and out of the room. Even the check out process is so efficient.

Great for a short get away

We had a great stay. The hotel is very historic and has has been kept in great condition with all of it historic charm in place. Our room was very cool, but also spacious and comfortable. The downtown area has lots of cute shops and places to eat. Its a very scenic location, great for a short getaway. The restaurants and bars in the hotel are very good as well.

My boyfriend and i stayed there for my birthday and we had a fabulous time! The hotel and all of the history is amazing. The sheets and pillows are luxurious and the bearclaw tub and beautiful robes in the room were a lovely touch. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again!

We have stayed here in the past and recommended it to friends. The best thing is the location. However, the property has seen better days - the room was very dark, the bathroom was dirty and the wallpaper beginning to peel from the walls, to name three issues. The WiFi was also erratic. The staff at check-in was barely “present”, same at checkout. We were never asked how our stay was. We will no longer recommend this property to our friends.
