Snow Removal

The hotel was great as normal my only issue was the parking lot. It snowed heavily Thursday and we arrived Saturday and the parking lot was a mess with snow and very tricky to get in and out of.

I’ve stayed at the James multiple times and love it! The only downside this time was the parking lot was full so we had to use street parking and move our vehicle first thing in the morning. We went to a coffee shop a block away and left because we didn’t feel safe with our baby. That’s not the fault of the James at all it’s just downtown Saskatoon isn’t what it used to be.
