Best hotel in Saskatoon!
Pros:

The James Hotel sets the bar for all other hotels!

I love, love, love this hotel!

The room is amazing. The view of the river is breathtaking. The front desk staff are so nice. They always open the front doors for you. I keep telling them they work too hard but they keep doing it!

The restaurant staff are beyond super sweet! I wish there were more good things I could say about the James Hotel!

Love the food!

Love the staff!

Thank you for being amazing!

See you next July!

A Perfect Hotel Experience
Pros:

What an amazing hotel! Service was exceptional both at reception and breakfast while the rooms were large, inviting and extremely clean.
Harshika, Jash and Mohammed went out of their way to assist me in finding a taxi ride to Regina. Most appreciated. Truly, they were friendly, professional and extremely efficient at their job.

Service and food at breakfast were excellent. I apologize for not being able to mention specific names but please understand they were amazing, remembering exactly what I'd ordered the previous day. Like home away from home. A lovely way to commence the day. Thank you.

I did visit the hotel bar on three occasions where I was provided with friendly, efficient service. The ambience was most appealing, intimate and relaxing.

Truly, the James Hotel is an oasis of perfection for any traveller and in an excellent location.

The best stop on our prairies road trip.
Pros:

This hotel is marvellous in every respect! All of the staff are very friendly and the rooms, suites actually, are very large and very comfortably set up and equipped. The decor throughout is very sleek, and the location is the best in town. Excellent in every way!
