"Hotel St. James offers a surprisingly good price for Manhattan, an easy check-in, a comfortable bed, and a location just one block from the delightful madness that is Times Square! The hotel is definitely showing its age, but if you're looking for a little antiquity instead of modernity, you'll feel right at home. Our fourth-floor room also came with complimentary surround-sound street noise, and the shower's water pressure was apparently trying to conserve every last drop of Manhattan's water supply. All things considered, we'd happily stay again—just bring your sense of humor and perhaps some earplugs!"
