James Lobby Bar - Saskatoon

I spent the last three nights in Saskatoon and stayed downtown at the James Hotel. I'd stayed there before and liked it. It used to be a condo building and was converted to a hotel. They gave me a one bedroom suite ... sweet! The tub was perfect! The bed was comfy! All the suites have a balcony and I had a river view. The room had complementary bottled water, WIFI it was speedy and parking. There was a Keurig in-room brewer with coffee, hot chocolate and tea, and an in-room safe in the closet. There is a mini-fridge stocked with pop and alcohol and treats cookies, nuts, etc. ... you pay for what you use. There is a bar in the lobby and you can order food. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. There was also a complimentary full hot breakfast $18 if you are a non-guest with waffles, eggs, sausages, potatoes, ham, muffins, croissants, etc. There was also a chef who will make you an omelette. I stopped in there on Wednesday and had ready-made scrambled eggs, turkey ham and fresh fruit.

We stopped by for a drink after supper and I 'm glad we did. The floor plan has a few small lounge areas which allows a couple or group to have a small space to themselves. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. They take the time to make and serve drinks well. I had an Old Fashioned while my wife tried a Birth of Cool . It is a very refreshing drink based on Grey Goose Poire and St Germain. I 'll have to remember that as a summer deck drink. This will be one of our regular stops when we are in Saskatoon.

Everything from the hotels modern decor, to the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, to fresh made pancakes for breakfast, this hotel is stunning! Right in the heart of downtown close to everything! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Saskatoon!

View.Value.Comfort. Had to duck into Saskatoon for two nights and decided to check out the newer James Hotel for a place to set down my head at night. This hotel is brought to us by the same owners of the Sheraton Cavalier which is co-located on the same property. The conversion was great from a room perspective. Being a Saskatoon raised person the riverbank area has been and always will be the draw. This hotel does not disappoint with location, comfort and view. The value is great as wifi and a chef attended breakfast station is included along with parking on site that is well lit and right outside the front door. You will not find better value with comfort, food and parking included in Saskatoon.

Came again for another stay and obviously choose the James. We got the suite and it was HUGE! The room came with a small kitchen which included a nespresso coffee machine, a mini fridge, an ice maker, and enough wine glasses (hint hint). You move into the living room with enough sitting for a family, a patio, and an excellent size TV. The main bedroom has a walk in bathroom (with a tub for 2), king bed, and TV! The views of the bridge and river are stunning! The 2nd bedroom had a TV, queen, and 2 closets. Another bathroom to the side filled with L'Occitane products. The service is exceptional. People were incredibly friendly and opened our doors at even chance. We used the gym (not the greatest but will do in a pinch), the bar (service was excellent), and their free breakfast (a chef is there to create your dish).
