After reading previous reviews we initially decided not to stay here. My wife and I own and run a bed and breakfast and decided to take a couple of days off and go take the train out of Redwing. Since the train was leaving in the morning we decided to spend the night in Redwing and just relax. We reviewed... more

This old hotel is located right along a railroad line! The hotel did not mention that there are hourly trains that blow their whisltes all night long, and they do not have any earplugs available. This was the worst night I have ever spent in a hotel - and I am a sound sleeper. To compound the problem, an alarm... more

My wife and I stayed at the St. James for a wedding reception held there too. We requested an early check in because the wedding was at 4 (the same time as check-in) after we called the night before and also called in the morning, there were surprised to see us so early. We arrived @2PM. After waiting for an... more

After staying in chain motels for several nights prior to arriving at Red Wing, and unable to find a reasonably priced room at a B&B, I decided to stay at the St. James Hotel because of its historic ambience. There are two parts to the hotel. The original "historic" building and an adjacent newer building. From the front of the... more

My wife and I stayed one night for our fifth anniversary and were both very pleased with our stay. The hotel displays it's historic charisma as you walk down any hallway or stairway and view articles of clothing and photos with narratives from century year old accounts. Our room displayed the same victorian charm with an oversized eagle clawed bath... more

A visit to Red Wing MN every couple of years is something that my wife and I have alway enjoyed. While the St James touts itself as "the" place to stay we have experienced better accomidations and more personal service at some of Red Wings other lodging offerings. It appears that the advertising is better than the product. Our rate... more

I stayed here with a colleague on a business trip, and we both truly enjoyed our experience at the St. James. The entire hotel has an authentic, historic feel to it. We were greeted warmly, and the staff were knowledgeable, prompt and friendly. We arrived late in the evening, and our beds were turned down with chocolates and the next... more

Located on the corner with a sidewalk going down to the river, you walk past so much history. The old doors where the horses were kept, the stories in your mind about the young lady who came to marry the owner. She was a waitress to begin with and very kind hearted. Once, when she learned that a newly married... more

The Veranda has the potential to be a fantastic restaurant. However, it of late has been very inconsistant in quality of food and service. Unfortunately your dining experience will depend too much on your server. The food can be awesome but it can also be extremely dissapointing. If they get their act together it could be the great restaurant it... more
