This was my first time staying at James Bay Inn and I loved it! The staff treat you so well and are genuine. I love that the place has the artwork (reproductions) of Emily Carr's paintings on the wall which makes sense since the Inn is a few houses away from Emily Carr's residence. The Inn has an old world charm. The beds in the room were comfortable and I slept well.
