Liked: Staff & service
The room did not look like the room available that i reserved. I selected a Riverside junior suite which was supposed to have a view of up the Mississippi River. The room I was put in did not have a very good view of the river and as me and my new wife were watching TV at the end of the bed aboard broke on the bed. And we were transferred to another room which was below the room we were in so there was barely any visibility of the river. Also the second room that we were put in the toilet was so close the sink that you could not stand in front of the sink because this toilet obstructed it you could literally poop and brush your teeth at the same time. The picture of the room I reserved had two sinks in the bathroom a very nice vanity a large tub and a shower separate with a toilet away from both the shower and the tub. The bathroom we got was as big as a small closet.

If you enjoy the elaborate ornamentation of late19th century architecture, you will appreciate the beauty of the Saint James Hotel. The old-world opulence and grandeur of the time does not disappoint. Hotel staff are welcoming and friendly, rooms are spacious and clean. I highly recommend!

This property blew our minds at how cool and historic in nature that this hotel is. Most. All of the rooms have really great views from every angle. We were a large party coming here to celebrate a wedding and they accommodated every single one of us. The staff was super friendly and helpful whenever we asked for any assistance.

The property itself is beautiful and rich with history. I stayed in the foundry which was huge and lovely. What the hotel can do nothing about is the loud car racing and spin outs with screeching tires up until after midnight right outside the room along the river edge. It’s too bad there isn’t more city control of this nonsense on a Saturday night. The hotel is amazing and the noise has absolutely nothing to do with the kind efficient service of really every employee I encountered. 5 stars.

Lovely historical hotel!

This hotel is absolutely stunning and a must-stay when in Red Wing. So much to explore within the building itself. Wonderful on-site restaurant with a patio and weekend music. Within walking distance of everything you need. The complimentary YMCA pass is a plus.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Historically average at best, not impressed.

Wasnt impressed with our over-all stay. Room was tiny, VERY noisy with the toilet & air-conditioner making load noises the entire time. Bed was also very noisy by just simply moving around. Door into the room was hard to open as it stuck every time. Tried both restaurants which we were excited to do. Scarlet place was excellent, outstanding food, and all around service from hostess to waitress was some of the best we ever experienced!! However, The Pub in the basement was a total fail for us both. A simple burger order took 25 minutes, service was good otherwise. Cocktail selection wasn't that great and neither was beer selection. Won't be back to stay but will go back to Scarlett restaurant if in the area.

Historical spaces inside the Hotel were fun to investigate and provided an insight into the history of the property and its role in the city of Red Wing. Restaurants onsite were very good. Proximity to AMTRAK makes for an interesting commuting option. Train noises were loud at times. Quirky property overall, mostly in a good way. Overall the rates are a bit pricey. That said we will likely return when we can get a deal.
