Top Top of the Rock Observation Deck Hotel Reviews

Hotel St. James

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."

"This is an old gem. Our room was like a small studio apt. We had a full kitchenette with apartment size fridge/freezer and a small table eh 2 chairs. We were on the second floor. The decor is dated but who cares. The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. The location is fabulous. Note that it is a very busy area and you will hear street noise but it quieted down when we went to bed around midnight. I would stay here again."

"Great location, easy check in, friendly staff and decent sized room. Was disappointed to return to the room at 4 o'clock to find that housekeeping hadn't come to clean / replenish towels. The other disappointment was that the bathroom had a sliding door that offered no privacy whatsoever."
