After realizing that the rate at this hotel was only a few dollars more than a basic room at other chain hotels in the area I thought I would be adventurous and try something new. I was very happy with my choice. Though the hotel's posh atmosphere can be a bit intimidating to a mid-salary living gal like myself, the staff were very friendly and made my boyfriend and I feel welcome. The beds were amazing, feather pillows, feather duvet...awesome :) within a half hour we received a complimentary dessert which was a nice surprise! Lastly, the breakfast is very tasty with a chef onsite. I would recommend The James Hotel to any couple looking for a special place to spend some time together :)

Stayed here before and room small but location of hotel helps. This time cancelled single night reservation at 4:00 PM because meeting plans changed for law firm. Was nailed $230 cancellation fee. What a poor business decision on James' insensitive staff member's part.

We booked this hotel based on recommendations found on Tripadvisor. It is a lovely small, lovely hotel located on the river accross from the Bess Bourough and centrally located in downtown Saskatoon. We loved the balcony with the spectacular river views. The hotel is clean and modern including the very lovely lounge. A hot breakfast is included.
