Top Top of the Rock Observation Deck Hotel Reviews

Hotel St. James

10/10 Excellent

"My brother and I did a sibling trip and stayed here for 6 nights. Overall we enjoyed the stay very very much! The hotel has a very old timey classy vibe which I loved. The front & cleaning staff were very kind, helpful and welcoming through our stay. The hotel itself is in a great location! Close enough to be “in” Times Square but not so close that you’re in the chaos that is Times Square. The room & bathroom were very spacious and the windows were big enough to let in the crisp breeze if the room ever got too warm. Checking in/out was super quick and easy with the front desk staff and they even offer flat rates to the airport which is super convenient. I would 100% stay here again during future travels to NYC."
