Third time returning guest in 2023 at the beautiful James hotel and this time I was given a small room (705) overlooking the HVAC system and the parking lot. I guess the river view rooms are for high rolling government employees … Wi-Fi speed was 20 Mbps which was unacceptable and challenging to conduct virtual meetings Seems that the once mighty James is slipping …

Our entire experience was at this beautiful hotel was amazing. When we arrived, we had the doors opened for us and were politely offered luggage assistance. The check-in process was quick and efficient, with Kristen- who was so knowledgeable and helpful on so many levels. Our room was spacious and had a lovely view from the balcony and the Housekeeping staff were so friendly. The breakfast room was convenient and had friendly staff. The Lobby Bar had some of the best cocktails we've ever had- and the service from the bartender was incredible. To see every single employee that we came across always smiling and genuinely happy to be there- it really speaks wonders about how this hotel is run and how special of a place it really is. My wife has already decided to make this an annual trip!…

It's impossible for one to write a positive review for a hotel that actually refuses to accommodate guests with a prepaid booking and then refuse to provide a means of making a formal complaint. Fully prepaid and non refundable booking made for staff travelling trans Canada. They arrive tired and needing a break. Policy dictates you cannot check in with a debit card or cash (it's nowhere on the mobile web site, but yes you get informed that after you make the booking). Offered a credit card authorisation. Declined as it needs 24 hours' notice, even though it's a 4 night booking. Ok, offered a credit card from a contact I have in town. Declined as not the name on the booking. My staff reported that the front desk team were rude towards them. Front desk team refused to call the manager. I rang and spoke with Kristen, the manager, after being condescended to by the front desk. She was less than helpful, even declining to put any of this in writing so I could claim a refund. When I asked for the hotel's formal complaint process, I was told to email the front desk. When I pointed out that it is not appropriate to send a complaint to the person being complained about, she hung up. My overall impression is that the staff did not want to continue with a booking (prepaid and top of the range room) who were dishevelled because they had driven a long distance. There is no place for such behaviour in any hotel, let alone one that claims to be one of the best in Canada.…

Our recent stay was fantastic from start to finish! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Kristen at the front desk was a gem and so helpful with dining recommendations. She went above and beyond with our requests. The lobby bar is amazing - each cocktail was handcrafted and delightful. Neva in the bar was so personable and had many great beverage suggestions. It's clear that this hotel's commitment to exceptional service is deeply ingrained in every aspect, we can't wait to return!

When you’re in the mood for the getaway of a lifetime, book the “making whoopie”package at this hotel. We ended up taking home two bathrobes, a package contained two cocktails of our choice in the evening plus scrumptious whoopie cookies. The following day we enjoyed a charcuterie board picnic basket and sparkling waters. Plus a souvenir cooler bag to take home. Well worth the extra we paid to be treated royally.

The James is our go-to place in stay in Saskatoon, whether it be for business or pleasure. The rooms are beautiful, the staff are on-point, and the complimentary morning breakfast steals the show. Make sure to save time to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail in the quaint lounge. Upgrading to a river view suite — especially when during warm weather to use the balcony — is always worth it.

Let’s Start with positives first, Service was outstanding! We met Gurpreet at check in time and Kim ( I think) on Sunday Morning both agents were super friendly explained everything politely and clearly. They even opened the front doors for us which is rarely done now a days. Breakfast staff, Chef and Server ( sorry didn’t get their names) also friendly. Room was top class, clean and well maintained. Now few ares where they need improvement in my view: Pillows on the bed have seen good days and must be changed by now. Elevator had broken tiles ( see picture) and hallway 5th floor carpet was visibly dirty (see picture) lobby and hallway was small and felt cramped ( I know nothing can be done to this point) view from my room was not worth close to $200 a night. All I see AC ducts. Rooms with such view should be priced accordingly. Since I was staying for one night only it didn’t bother me a lot. This was my first time in this property. Online pictures looks grand but property is anything but grand. Breakfast was fine but it feels like having a breakfast in comfort inn or Holiday Inn where you can get room half of the price at this property. Thank you for outstanding customer service.…

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at the James. The front desk team were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and very nicely finished. The view of the river was fantastic. The breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend the James to both business travellers as well as vacationing families!

Without a doubt, one of the top 3 boutique hotels we’ve experienced! From check in until check out, our experience was top notch. The staff was great but the rooms were unbelievable! Spacious, clean, all needed amenities and patios with the best view! We can’t wait to come back.
