The hotel is well maintained & very beautiful. The bed & pillows were very comfortable, and the linens very soft. Parking is free & in a garage attached to the hotel. The food in the Scarlet restaurant was delicious. After dinner we walked around downtown Red Wing & along the waterfront. Red Wing is a pretty town.

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.

The property itself is beautiful and rich with history. I stayed in the foundry which was huge and lovely. What the hotel can do nothing about is the loud car racing and spin outs with screeching tires up until after midnight right outside the room along the river edge. It’s too bad there isn’t more city control of this nonsense on a Saturday night. The hotel is amazing and the noise has absolutely nothing to do with the kind efficient service of really every employee I encountered. 5 stars.
