Top Historic Downtown Hotel Reviews

Hotel St. James

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in an epic location, just off of Broadway and Times Square. Easily accessible from a number of Subway stations. The staff were very helpful and kind. My only complaint is that the room was extremely small (likely to be expected for NYC in this area, though!) and quite dated. No mini fridge, and dated furniture, bedding, etc. There is no lobby bar or restaurant, but there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and street vendors within a few steps."
