Is st james hotel in ny any good?

it depends what you're looking for.


we stayed there last weekend, my first trip to n.y.


the st james hotel is in about the best location it could be. you're 100 yards from broadway and times square, the other way is avenue of the americas, and it's very close to a lot of the very big expensive hotels - the marriott is just round the corner for example. (have a drink in their revolving bar on the 45th floor!)


but...


you get what you pay for, and the st james hotel is much cheaper than the alternatives. consequently, while our room was small and we had a comfy bed, small wardrobe, wc and bath with shower over, i.e. the basic essentials BUT we had a LOT of noise!!


the radiator pipes rattled all night, the wind blowing down the lightwell outside made the aircon grilles rattle, we were close to the noisy lift, the heating system had some kind of heater above the bathroom ceiling sounded like a jet engine, and people didn't seem to mind standing in the hallway and having a chat at 3am.


the place looks like they've just started a sort of do-it-yourself re-fit. our bathroom fittings were all brand new, and quite modern, but parts of the lounge area off reception looked about thirty years old and in need of that re-fit!!


all we wanted was a bed for a couple of nights so we could go and explore. except for the noise, we got what we wanted.


the deli next door is ok for essentials, and internet access, but we chose not to eat there. get down to balthazar at 80 spring street, soho for the best brunch you'll ever have.


it's got to better than going to starbucks across the road!Is st james hotel in ny any good?
