Disappointed
Beautiful hotel. Heat/air was so noisy we had to turn it off probably because it’s a historic hotel but still. Not happy about how they charged us $28 for using our credit card to pay without even telling us they were going to do it.

The St. James delivers on its reputation as a premier hotel in Red Wing. Excellent service from the front desk, restaurant staff and bartender in the Speakeasy. The free parking garage is a plus, especially in an urban setting. Loved the vibe in the basement level Speakeasy. It was a very busy weekend and we got the last available room (translation = not their best). We found the bed to be way too soft and way too hot. All that aside, this property is a historical delight and worth a stay.

Heard trains all night
The room I had was very loud as it was facing an area across from the train station(307) I did not fall asleep till 4 am due to the sound of the trains roaring by and the accompanying train whistle. This is a beautiful historic hotel. The staff is wonderful, the rooms immaculate. But it gets an average rating due to the noise factor. For the price I paid, I expected a good nites sleep. If you are planning on staying here, request a room away from t he side that faces the Red Wing Shoe Company . Also, the side that faces Highway 61 is also quite loud. Request the top floor if you get that side( at least you won’t hear trains all night)

While the property lived up to the historic expectations, the billing was erroneous and likely dishonest. When booked thru Expedia it was shown as pay at the property. My card was charged immediately upon booking 2 weeks prior to our stay. Upon checkout we were charged $13.02 in excess of the quoted Expedia rate. They reviewed the rate and said Expedia had quoted the wrong rate, tough luck. I would like a refund and explanation for the charge date error.

This is an historic, well-maintained hotel, where each room is uniquely named after a river boat that traveled the Mississippi, and decorated to reflect the time period. It was a wonderful trip back in time. Well worth spending a weekend here.

It was a little bit of a gamble staying at a historic building but they’ve done a great job maintaining the facility. Very clean, didn’t have that musty smell. We did have issues with our TV signal and a loud altercation of some sort coming from an adjacent room that woke us up but all in all it was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. Staff was quite nice, and the locale offered fantastic shopping, dining, and leisurely stroll options.

While this is a very unique and beautiful hotel I was not that impressed overall. There is really no good way to get from the parking ramp to the second floor where our room was. You take one elevator and then you have to go all the way to the lobby to another elevator to continue up. The room we stayed in was very large but they had no desk area where you could set up your computer. There was no room refrigerator or microwave. The chairs were pretty uncomfortable. The bathroom looked like it was added on and was totally open at the top. And, it's very noisy, a lot of traffic outside, so if you're a light sleeper, bring a noise machine. I would not stay here again.

Extremely limited menu options in Scarlet Letter Restaurant in Evening. Made option challenges tough. Waiter(India) had to work for 15-20 minutes to bring our Wine selection to table. Manager had to go to Cellar to fetch it. Higher price selections under lock and key? Room(Capitol) was roomy but “lumpy” floor. Must be sitting on “split” between new and classic phases of Hotel. It was pleasant to revisit after a 20 year hiatus. Pricing about what was expected. Sunday Morning dining options offsite were very limited. Religious reasons? Had to go to Lake City for Breakfast.
