The Hotel St James is a no frills hotel. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, at least in the room which I occupied. The room had no carpet, but the floor was heated. The bed was very comfortable, but the length of the bed may prove problematic to someone who is 6 feet tall. The room however, was clean and comfortable.
The staff were very helpful and courteous.
This hotel is situated in the heart of Manhattan and is conveniently located for everything. There is a delicatessen next door, where you can get breakfast etc or, alternatively, there is an Irish pub a couple of doors away that serves breakfast and dinner. The hotel is conveniently located for Times Square. The hotel is conveniently located for the subway, a couple of blocks away.
This was my third stay in this hotel and I would recommend it to anyone.
