Loved by James Bay Inn Hotel, Suites & Cottage guests
"Our suite this time was basically an efficiency suite with a separate, well equipped kitchen, bath and bedroom lounge as well as an attached deck."
"Spent 3 nights in this great spot. Easy walk to downtown, located in lovely neighborhood (horse drawn carriages up and down the street) and off the beaten track."
"Location was amazing - walking distance to everything but far enough away to be peaceful (including the clip clopping of hooves as the carriage rides passed by)."
