Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautifully kept and restored historic building built as a hotel overlooking the Mississippi. Fresh flowers at the entrance, in the lobby and dining room. Clean, classy, pleasant and helpful staff. Good restaurant with view of the river. Nicely kept park and walk/ bike path behind the hotel. We went to go biking on the Cannon Valley trail. Staff offered to lick up our bike. Ample, easy access parking garage. Would like to have towel racks or shelf for towels outside the shower space. Would like to have cups in the bathroom. Love the pressed tin ceiling, tasteful wall and window coverings, historic reproduction carpets and all of the historic artifacts documented in the hallways. Like staying in a well kept museum. Memorable and distinctive. Beats the typical hotel experience.

We booked - a year in advance - the best class of room: Junior Suite Riverside. The Expedia online photos showed a beautiful view of the river directly out of the window. However, the view from our room couldn't have been more different. Upon entering our room, we were greeted with a view of an industrial warehouse (graffiti included) right across the street. The only way to catch a glimpse the river was to lean way out into the bay window and look far to the right. The receptionist - who was unfriendly before we even checked in - told us that we had the correct room and that there was nothing that could be done. This room was not "Riverside" nor even "Riverview." It was "Warehouse-view." We've stayed in Red Wing in the past and will visit again in the future. But we'll never again stay at the overpriced, over-hyped St. James Hotel. I wish I could upload photos of our room. Absolutely appalling.

Disappointed for the First Time

We've always had a wonderful experience at the St. James, having stayed there many times. This time was not as excellent as all the others. Our room was the smallest space we've ever had. At 6:30 am workers began painting the room across the hall. They had a radio playing (I stepped outside to ask them to turn it down (which they did), but the work continued. Outside our window other workers began working on the roof of the building next door at 7:45 am. More noise. Needless to say we were less than pleased to be awakened that early. The hotel was not full, so I don't understand why the front desk people put is in that room when there were other options.
