St James Hotel, a Historic Hotel of America

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the St. James Hotel was great. Highly recommend the river view rooms. The staff were pleasant and friendly. The "Scarlet Room" restaurant has great food and drinks, with attentive servers. The only issue was the sitting chair in the room had a broken arm rest, but i don't believe the management was aware of that."
