One night staycation at The James!

We only stayed one night. Room is very clean, bed is comfortable, air conditioning works well, all appears to be clean and looked after. The view of the river is worth a million bucks. Includes comfy robes, an espresso machine, and a full fridge of items to purchase to drink, or small snacks. I would definitely stay here again, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. The lounge was a nice spot for a night cap. The included breakfast is top notch, with a small buffet, and also table service for made to order items. And the coffee is very good! I would love to have had a balcony to sit out and enjoy the view. But we did not splurge for that this time.
Susan, 1-night trip

Without question the finest hotel in Saskatoon. The breakfast room with the 2 ladies from Peru is the best in the Prairies! Always look forward to staying at The James
