Been staying at different hotels in Saskatoon but so far, this place has the most polite and welcoming staff. The breakfast was excellent too! It would be nice if they could offer more amenities in the hotel but nevertheless, I would really recommend staying here. Really worth it!

Zero complaints about the James Hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable, the bar is outstanding, breakfast buffet was delicious and the location was a 10 minute walk to the downtown core. Would definitely stay here in the future.
