This hotel is definitely on our "return to " travel list. We found the St James by chance and stayed one night there in the Zane Gray room. Felt like we had been transported back in time.. every bedroom had a story to tell as every one had a famous and infamous person stayed there .eg.Jesse James, Doc Holliday,Wyatt Earp. The list goes on and to soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era is fantastic.
There is so much memorabllia and information documenting the who;s who list. The rooms are spotless and every room feels like staying in a private home. Even the bathroom down the hall which some of the rooms have to share is set up with fresh clean towels, plenty of soaps and shampoos.Not all the rooms have en suites
There definitely is a sense of ghosts and a lot of creaky floors at night but it all added to the thrill of staying there.
The restaurant served adequate and reasonably priced food and all the staff were extremely friendly.We'll be back

Room tip: We chose upstairs rooms just because we were told to experience a ghostly presence from other guests. Just a bit of fun really

We spent the night at St. James Hotel while in the area for other business. We had the Mary Lambert Room with in-room bath and toilet. This is a 1870's vintage hotel and it shows, but that's what makes it neat. Very uneven foundation with lots of creaks in the floor. We had a great meal in the restaurant with drinks from the bar, complete with Buller holes in the ceiling. There is an outdoor seating area very unique with fountain and fireplaces. The bed was only a full size, and was very very soft. Being used to a firm king at home made sleeping quite challenging. Overall it was still a good and unique experience, which I recommend.

Room tip: Look at website pictures and choose. No AC in old rooms, and some use hall toilet facilities.

I am a old west history fanatic. I love western cowboy art work. This place has both!!! It was like Heaven on earth for me. This was place my husband became an art lover. It honestly like stepping back in time. When I looked out windows I expected to see horses and buggies. It is marvelous. Such a beautiful beautiful hotel. It's supposed to be haunted. I can see why I never wanted to leave either. The food portions are huge. It is good stuff. It's a popular place. It's has an amazing patio. I can't say enough. It has absolutely breath taking art work and furniture. So many people you read about in books have stayed here. I just love love love this place. The people are wonderful too. So nice and friendly and helpful. Just a wonderful old place.

Room tip: The modern rooms are pet friendly.

This hotel is an historic old-west hotel filled with western memorabilia. There are ghosts there, but with all the creaky floors you'd never hear them. They keep one room padlocked due to an uneasy spirit. We had a very good dinner there too.

Room tip: We stayed in the Bat Masterson Room downstairs in the main hotel. We did not hear much noise from the Bar late at night.

We stayed in the historical part of the hotel and enjoyed the ambiance. The rooms were comfortable and the staff was friendly. The restaurant also had a great breakfast and was reasonably priced. I would love to stay there again.
