“VERY GOOD”
The St James Hotel is situated about 20 paces from Times Square. A safe area, brightly lit and busy. Convenient to the subway and information centre. The staff were extemely helpful and friendly. On our last day, we were not due to leave until 1pm and were going to use the Hotel lockers at a cost of $5.00 each, as checking-out time was 12pm. However, the receptionist was more than happy to allow us to check out later. The reception area is welcoming, with armchairs and a large seating area and public toilets for the residents. Our room was large and comfortable,with plenty of drawer and cupboard space and loads of towels and a TV. No hairdryer or safe in the room, but this wasn't a problem. We were on the 6th Floor, overlooking the road at the front of the hotel. This was very noisy at night, but after the first night, I wore earplugs and got a good nights sleep. Warm and cosy. The reviews I had read mentioned the deli next door, as the hotel doesn't offer any amenities. The deli is a typical New York deli you see on the TV, where all the businessmen and women get there egg and bacon rolls with all flavours of coffee for breakfast. We started our day here every morning.
