Beautiful room! Loved it. The hotel is wonderfully historical. The food was excellent but both times we went to the restaurant, we were told they didn't have tables for three, which seemed odd with the number of empty tables. However, we did end up being seated both times.

This hotel is unique, cute and a must stay! It had such cute charm and history! One note to take into consideration is the train. The hotel is very close to the Station so you do hear the train throughout the night.

Room was available when we booked…just before flying…only to find out upon landing it wasn’t…then, while presumably trying to be kind, switched the reservation to a National chain hotel. It took an hour of customer service time to hopefully ensure no charges. We will see. Never again!!

We enjoyed our time at the St James Hotel and in Red Wing. The restaurants in the hotel are excellent and more reasonably priced than some hotel restaurants are. Our room was a little small with just one small window and the mattress is soft and sags toward the middle.
