Hotel James

We loved our stay here at Hotel James! I brought my family with me on a business trip and we stayed in the King room «Zinfandel». It was large clean and very comfortable. We loved the hot tub out on our patio. Three of my colleagues stayed in the hotel as well. We literally felt like we were at home here. There is a common kitchen with large kitchen table that everyone seemed to congregate at. The continental breakfast was perfect and well stocked.

This place was such a great surprise. We came to Chico for the stage race this weekend and couldn’t believe no other bike racer booked here. It’s so fabulous! Creepy a bit with the lighting but I love eerie shit. No one was there but us the first night which ruled. We tried the beer and panini at the tap room it was yummy and hit the spot. We caught the daughter of the owner and chatted her up a lot as she was refilling the food in the kitchen. SUCH a nice woman, so so nice. They are so accommodating and generous this really made my weekend. LOVE! Only gripes are the rugs in the place are slippery as hell, watch out. Not enough counter space to do makeup in the bathroom. Other than that. Will absolutely be back again!

Loved my stay! This small inn is newly renovated & very comfortable. All guests share the kitchen which is well stocked with breakfasty things & a coffee maker (very important)

Very nice hotel. Clean rooms. Comfy bed. Although this is a hotel it had a bed and breakfast feel. The lobby is basically the kitchen area with a table for eating in a community environment.

Nothing ‘magical” about this place. Location is horrible. Propery has the personality of a small soap dish
To be fair it’s über clean almost sterile.

My wife and I flew in from seattle for the wedding of one of our closest friends. We stayed in the Chardonnay room. The rest of the wedding party were in the other awesome and diverse rooms. The common area and kitchen make this hotel cozy and it’s feels like home! The manager is gracious and accommodating! If you’re in the Chico area and need a wonderful place to stay, do yourself a favor and stay at the hotel James!

We rented out Wine Time for our wedding and rented out the entire 5 room hotel for ourselves and our bridal party over the weekend.
We could not have had a better experience with Hotel James and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. For a group event, being able to rent out the entire facility was a wonderful way to celebrate together. The facility is brand new and well under price for the beautiful amenities in the building. We stayed in the Zinfandel room which is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, luxurious, and includes a private patio with a state of the art hot tub. The group area is perfect for hanging out together and well stocked with food and coffee. There is an on-​site laundry room which was exceptionally helpful getting ready for the big day.
The manager was gracious, polite, extremely accommodating, and a pleasure to do with business with. I cannot thank her enough for making my special day better than I could have possibly imagined.
Whether you are looking at renting out the facility, or just a single room I would highly recommend this hotel over any other I have stayed in the area.

We stayed in the Zinfandel Suite last night and it was exquisite. The room is HUGE and the hot tub lovely. The owners were soooo helpful and made sure the breakfast items available were varied and FRESH. We had celebrated my husbands birthday party at Wine Time and had only to walk across the parking lot, convenient! I also believe this is an INCREDIBLE value for the $!

I don’t get the negative post. Based upon my experience it looks like a personal vendeta or something because there is a lot of false information in the post. I work near this hotel and just visited it to look at it more closely for business lodging for my employer, and a potential place for some of my family. It is EXTREMELY clean (like in a brand spankin’ new, 5 star resort kinda way) and the building was just built… I watched it go up… how is that old?) I actually commented to the owner on how I could smell the «newness» when I walked in (this before I even saw the negative Unilocal post) …and I meant in a good way! And based upon my experience of booking lodging, which is substantial, I find it to be underpriced for such beautiful, clean and luxurious accomodations (but priced just right for the Chico market!) The furniture and fixtures are gorgeous. There are a lot of unique, restored vintage lighting and other pieces. The beds look luxurious (I’m considering a staycation here!) and the rooms are very spacious, warm and welcoming. The common area is also beautiful and spotless. From the rooms to the common space to a complimentary laundry area, this place is dialed in for a relaxing, low key stay. The owner was very nice to me and pleasant to talk with about the hotel.
When you book a room here, you’ll be getting the charm of a B&B without someone onsite to make you feel awkward. Staff is accessible via telephone and you receive your own code and come and go as you please. I personally really like this kind of set up. It’s this PERFECT place for so many lodging scenarios… a girls getaway or staycation in Chico, a wedding party, a small family reunion (I understand their is a deal if you book all 5 rooms), or just a good nights sleep on the North end of town for out of towners who prefer a quieter, more «boutique» style stay. I’m very exited to have this venue in Chico!
There are 4 queen bedrooms (1 is ADA accessible) and 1 King Suite (has small patio and hot tub as well as 2 pull out couches or total room for 6 people). I believe small dogs are welcome. All have private baths, separate Heat/​Air Conditioner, WiFi, Satellite TV. Your stay includes a continental breakfast.
I also, know well, and often frequent the restaurant next door, Roots Catering, which I can’t say enough good things about (yum!) and Wine Time which is right in the same complex.
The whole «Lost Dutchman» area is a gem for North Chico! I’m looking forward to an ongoing relationship with Hotel James for our business customers as well as my out of town family and friends!

This is one of the most AMAZING hotels I have ever stayed at. It’s conveniently located right by a breakfast place, and a dinner restaurant which is nice when you aren’t feeling up to even more travel! Speaking with the owners I learned that it just recently opened a little over 2 months ago. Let me tell you, they didn’t skip an inch!!! The whole place is so magically put together! You walk in straight to a view of the communal kitchen. It’s stalked with breakfast and snack goodies, along with a Keurig, an essential for me and my family! As we were settling in, one of the owners brought a group over from the neighboring restaurant to give them a tour of the new hotel! After a warm greeting, then offered to take us for the tour as well and to see all the rooms! Each of them with their own lovely characteristics. Something which really caught my eye, was the names of the rooms. There were 5 and they were all named after different wine varietals! Each one with their own AC and bathroom. Nice and spacious! You can tell from the furniture picks they really sought out the perfect pieces for this gem! One room, the Zinfandel I believe, has a large bed, and two hidabeds perfect for a big family! AND access to a hot tub! The prices were even reasonable for how lovely this place was!!! Every time I visit, I’m booking my room at Hotel James, and passing the word to my friends!!!
