"Loved the omelet maker!"

"The staff was really great. Got a free hour of bowling by getting a players card. The free shuttle also made having to go to and from the car so much nicer while it was cold out. "

"Great room, excellent staff "

"We checked in on Christmas Day 2025 and stayed 1 night. The hotel is in the heart of beautiful downtown Red Wing, MN. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays and was warm and inviting. We had brunch at the beautiful Scarlet Kitchen and Bar and the food and service could not have been better. The restaurant was busy, yet the vibe was elegantly relaxed. Our room was a beautiful union of history in modern times. The beautiful 4-post bed was so comfortable and I need to know where I can get a set of those bed sheets! So buttery soft—best night’s sleep! I will be back St. James Hotel. Highly recommend. Beautiful and quaint shops and dining on-site and within walking distance in Red Wing. Beautiful and historic."

"We had a wonderful stay and overall really enjoyed this property. The host was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay, which made everything easy and stress-free. The views from the large windows are absolutely amazing and were a highlight of our trip. We especially loved the heated floors in the porch, which were such a cozy and welcoming way to start the day. The large dining table was perfect for all eight of us to sit together and play cards, and the video games and pool provided great entertainment for everyone in our family. Also worth mentioning, the coffee maker was excellent and much appreciated.That said, there are a few areas for improvement. The mattresses were very firm, which may not be comfortable for everyone. Additionally, the kitchen could benefit from a few more utensils, pot holders, and a bit more organization to make cooking easier.Overall, this is a great place with fantastic amenities and views, and with a few small tweaks it could be even better. We would happily consider staying again."

"This staff is friendly and welcoming here. Stayed about 5 times in a month and all three that have assisted me have been very personable and kind. "

"We have stayed here dozens of nights. Its our go-to in Red Wing. A lot of Americinns have really gone downhill over the oast decade, but these folks have really kept it a nice place to stay. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, the breakfast is great, the omelet maker is a favorite of ours and the pool area is has been really kept up and is nice."

"Awesome room and clean"

"Room was tidy, clean! A bit on the smaller size as far as rooms go, however, a huge room is not necessary for just an overnight rest. Bathroom & shower also very clean with adequate amenties & towels, water stayed hot in shower & water pressure was excellent. The TV was smaller than other motel rooms, but, again was sufficient for just the one night. It worked, lots of channels & picture was clear. Office manager was welcoming & promptly helped me access another room when the initial key fob for the initial 1st room continued to malfunction. He even opened the new room door & walked back to the office to get me a new key which he promptly brought to me so I didn't have to wait in the cold. Parking was nice to be directly in front of room. Presently very quiet with only the sound being that of sporadic traffic on the highway. Excellent place, would def stay again without hesitation. "
