We had an amazing Christmas at this hotel. We loved our room, the staff, everything about the St. James is 5 star. This time they gave us a quiet room away from the sounds of trains at our request. Thanks for a wonderful Christmas!

Clean hotel, very comfortable bed, friendly efficient staff. The restaurant is terrific. Beautiful and light and inviting. Food and drink were excellent. The speakeasy bar downstairs is atmospheric while also warm and cozy. It was a real pleasure to stay in this historic hotel. Highly recommend

I came for a wedding that was partly held at your hotel. I didnt get in on the block of rooms ,i wasnt allowed to check in early without a large fee and the room was already
over three hundred dollars. So I wasn't able to take the transportation from the hotel to the wedding and had to drive a dark and windy road late at night. There wasn't even a frig or bottled water in the room.
Though I had a marvelous time at the event , the room was a little disappointing

Haunted guest.
Upkeep needed. Wallpaper was coming off the wall and the shower headwall cap was dangling off the wall. Also, I had expected a little bit better room as it was labled "Premium" and it was no bigger than any other hotel room I've ever stayed in. It was simply a hotel room with 2 queen beds. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable and staff was very accomadating.

Disappointed
Beautiful hotel. Heat/air was so noisy we had to turn it off probably because it’s a historic hotel but still. Not happy about how they charged us $28 for using our credit card to pay without even telling us they were going to do it.

The St. James delivers on its reputation as a premier hotel in Red Wing. Excellent service from the front desk, restaurant staff and bartender in the Speakeasy. The free parking garage is a plus, especially in an urban setting. Loved the vibe in the basement level Speakeasy. It was a very busy weekend and we got the last available room (translation = not their best). We found the bed to be way too soft and way too hot. All that aside, this property is a historical delight and worth a stay.

Heard trains all night
The room I had was very loud as it was facing an area across from the train station(307) I did not fall asleep till 4 am due to the sound of the trains roaring by and the accompanying train whistle. This is a beautiful historic hotel. The staff is wonderful, the rooms immaculate. But it gets an average rating due to the noise factor. For the price I paid, I expected a good nites sleep. If you are planning on staying here, request a room away from t he side that faces the Red Wing Shoe Company . Also, the side that faces Highway 61 is also quite loud. Request the top floor if you get that side( at least you won’t hear trains all night)

While the property lived up to the historic expectations, the billing was erroneous and likely dishonest. When booked thru Expedia it was shown as pay at the property. My card was charged immediately upon booking 2 weeks prior to our stay. Upon checkout we were charged $13.02 in excess of the quoted Expedia rate. They reviewed the rate and said Expedia had quoted the wrong rate, tough luck. I would like a refund and explanation for the charge date error.
