Our take

Hotel St. James offers a rare combination in Manhattan: a budget-friendly pre-war hotel a short walk from Times Square, with smoke-free rooms, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and a library lounge. Rooms are straightforward rather than stylish. An 8.2 score from 1,927 reviews shows it delivers for the price bracket. I recommend it for families and first-time visitors watching costs; anyone wanting a pool or a gym should look elsewhere.

  • Take advantage of the hotel's central location to walk to Times Square and Rockefeller Center.
  • Utilize the free Wi-Fi to plan your daily excursions and stay connected.
  • Consider dining at the on-site restaurant for convenience, especially after a long day of exploring.

Why we love it

  • Excellent budget-friendly option in a prime location
  • Just a short walk to Times Square
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
  • On-site restaurant for easy dining
