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.

Staff courteous, rooms, lounge and lobby area were all very pleasant. Breakfast was excellent; we would have preferred to have more dining choices later in the day. We would certainly not hesitate to stay there again should we ever return to Saskatoon.
