A nice, family owned place, we found this gem and have visited a few times. The family is also part of the nearby restaurant that also has great food. It's always a great place to visit and they made it extra special for valentines day.

This location makes it feel like you're not even in Chico. I mean that in the best way possible.

One of the best experiences we’ve had in our travels and we liked it so much the first time, we came back and we got the original room we stayed in. Super clean, friendly staff (if you run into them), a really private space, tons of amenities, near campus and close to downtown area. Again, the communication with the staff and management, is excellent. Highly recommended and we look forward to coming back soon. Thanks again!

Absolutely no privacy from any sounds being made in the common area. Anyone talking sounds like they are standing in your room

This is such a lovely, peaceful place! Like a home away from home but way nicer! So clean and luxurious with a great kitchen the few rooms lead off from. I love the self check system, the calm serenity, and the amazing service….I felt so safe there as a solo traveler. The staff answered my emails so fast and were so kind. This is a wonderful small family business! I can’t wait to go back. I’ll be going here whenever I go to Chico!

The Hotel James is a refreshingly comfortable boutique hotel in Chico. We stayed in the Zinfandel Room which was well appointed and especially nice with the included private patio with a hot tub. The hot tub was warm and relaxing, even on a cold January night. The room can comfortably sleep six with the two hide-a-bed couches, and very roomy for a couple's night out. The adjacent brew house and wine bars make it so you don't have to drive anywhere for being adults. In the morning, the adjacent breakfast place has top quality food in a nice restaurant. Besides the room, there is a common kitchen/dining room which would be perfect if you are renting the limited number of rooms for a large group like a wedding party or reunion. Plenty of room for the group to cook or cater a meal and eat it together at the same table without leaving the building.

Very convenient spot with reasonable rates. Right in the same block, there is a restaurant for breakfast, wine bar and beer garden. The room was quite cold when we arrived, however it warmed up quick! The communal room is sort of in the middle with the rooms all around, sort of feels like a sitcom. They have some breakfast snacks and coffee.

Love supporting small businesses and this one does not disappoint! You feel like you are at a spa versus your plain jane corporate hotel rooms. Unique relaxing décor with a soft feel to the rooms. I love that they had a robe in the room and the setup was simple. Parking was easy and abundant. It was a little difficult to find the road since it's not an actual road, so look for a small business sign instead of a green street sign.

Unique experience, but by the time I left, I dug it. Had a heater problem initially, but owner resolved it quickly and we were cozy the whole time once it warmed up. Parking little tough with all the other businesses on the property, but ended up being fine for us. Everything is new feeling and clean, the kitchen area is well stocked and easy to navigate. Bed was comfy, enjoyed the stay.
