Hotel St. James

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, I did the double, it was a small space but perfect for my stay. I liked the old school charm of the place but at the same time everything was well maintained and clean. Air conditioner worked totally fine my room actually got pretty chilly but it was easy to adjust so not an issue. Didn’t have a USB charging port in the room which I was a little surprised by but I was able to charge my phone by plugging it in to the tv so not an actual issue. Staff held my luggage even post checkout to give more time in the city without lugging around which was super nice. I’d stay here again."

Pod Times Square

6/10 Okay

"The Pods are exactly as they say, it’s a pod, very small, the a/c did not work very well even after having maintenance check it and you hear the sirens and horns honking so you don’t need an alarm clock. I don’t think we will stay here again. But it’s a Great location, next to really great restaurants and the theaters. I highly recommend Mom’s Kitchen & Bar and 5 Napkin Burgers. Meals were delicious!
