St. James Social

We had a wonderful stay at St. James Social. Clean room, courteous staff and a wonderful town.

The room was spotless, decorated beautifully, quiet, had bathrobes to use in sauna, was prepped for our arrival both temperature and lit, had access to a coffee and beverage bar down the hall, and bottles of water in the room. Has elevator AND stairs to rooms on second floor. The Social Club downstairs was accessible inside the building, again decorated well, comfortable seating and inviting. The staff were excellent, sociable, informative about events in the area and helpful. Would love to return! A home away from home.

I absolutely loved our stay at St James this summer. It was our first time up to Lake Superior and our first impression of Bayfield. The location has the style and setup of a modern Airbnb. You are mostly left to your own to navigate checkin, checkout, using the amenities, and taking advantage of the rooftop. If you have questions or need assistance, it's a quick text response. We stayed a couple nights as part of a longer road trip. We met the owners after we arrived, they run the restaurant/bar downstairs. The place was gorgeous, packed with customers - a great spot for dinner or just drinks. Highly suggest a stay if you are in the area.

Exceeded our expectations at every level. We are excited to return!

From beginning to end, our meal and service was very good. Prompt, efficient and friendly staff, good ingredients, happy to make accommodations. While I would have preferred a cocktail, they are waiting on their liquor license and had a wide variety of beer, wine and fun other options including sake and cocktails made with champagne or involved NA cocktails. The caesar was very good (dressing on the side) and the pizza we had was a very good sourdough crust that was perfect for folding, Neapolitan style. So good!

Groovy but no service. Hotel tried to be trendy and groovy. Seems like that means no service. Never saw a staff member. Room was not cleaned. Continental breakfast was a joke. We expected them to tell us to vacuum and wash the windows. Interaction was by text messages telling us what to do. Room was trendy but did not have a decent place to sit. Would never recommend this hotel to friends.

Check in was super easy, key fob in the room was a great means for entry after check in, the room was very quiet, never heard much of anything other than some road noise which was fine. Location was fantastic, do make reservations at the in house restaurant.

Outstanding communication with hotel staff and beautiful clean accommodations. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere was great, they really did a good job with decor. The vision of the restaurant is great, food was good but mediocre- service was a bit slow too. If the food stood out a little more and the service was quicker I’d give it a 4 or 5. They have some work to do.
