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!!

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.
