Hotel St. James

10/10 Excellent

"This location is so close to everything in the Times Square District and other places in Manhatan. I went with my sister for an Event and we choose this Hotel because of the convenience, we did all the major tourist atractions given that the subway stations were literally walking minutes from the Hotel. The staff was super friendly and Helpful, Delfina was wonderful, the room was clean, we stayed in the fifth floor and although you do hear noise from outside during the day, we could not hear anything at night and slept comfortably. It was a bit outdated keep that in mind BUT I think it was such a lovely vibe. I would definitely stay here again. The AC worked perfectly too. Also there are tons of places to eat close by, there is a deli right next to the Hotel and they have breakfast, coffee, tea, juices, and the Hotel has a little area with chairs and tables so you can be there comfortably. I just cant say enough, I enjoyed my stay. The area felt safe as well. We went to see 2 Broadway shows and both were like a 6 minute walk, dont have to worry about transportation, just walking close distances. We didnt rent a car but the hotel had a car service for one flat fee of $85 to drive you to the airport, which was very convenient and since we had a lot of luggage, we didnt want to worry about bringing that on the subway which you can also take to get you to JFK airport. Thank You for everything St James Hotel staff."
