2 star Hotels in Broadway - Times Square

On a recent visit to NYC, we stayed at the Hotel St James. I read the reviews from other folks and decided that location was primary for us and this is certainly true of the Hotel St James. We walked to three Broadway shows, Times Square, Central Park, Grand Central Station, MoMA, Empire State Building, and more. The only taxi we took was to the 911 Memorial and we learned how to take the Subway back. If it's frills you want in a hotel stay in NYC, this hotel is not for you. However, things like no coffee pot in the room or no breakfast café in the lounge are also reflected in the reasonably priced rooms. The hotel was safe, the staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and the location cannot be get better!

Lovely staff and decent for price. It was conveniently located.

This hotel is close to Times Square and within walking distance of Broadway shows and many great restaurants. It is hard to beat the location. Another noteworthy perk is free breakfast included, which aside from their standard hot and cold buffet, includes "real" New York bagels. The rooms are not very big, but adequate for short stay.

Easy walking distance to Times Square, Broadway, Central Park and very close to Metro. Clean but the smell of the cleaning products used daily was very strong - we kept our window open despite loud street noise to try to overcome it.

smallest room I have ever stayed in but it filled my needs, was clean and was the best price for downtown Manhattan.

Staff was helpful, friendly and patient. Shower angle was unadjustable and despite shower curtains, the bathroom flooded. Very dirty carpet, but bed sheet and pillow cover was white and clean. Although I rate it as a one-star hotel, I would do short stays here again because the location is too good - a block from Times Square!
