NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS
We had an stress-free stay at The New Yorker during a non-rush period.

Hotel St. James
Internet was ok. Property is old so the steam pipes were making noises at night. Heater is at a constant temperature so if it's too hot you need to open the window slightly. Otherwise excellent location, times square is steps away. Easy access to public transit services.
