"We stayed here for one night. The location is fantastic. Your close to times square. There is a lot of things to do for entertainment, shopping, food, etc. The hotel felt historic. The elevators were small and slow. The two staircases were classic marble, small and have classic character. The hallways are narrow but again have a nostalgic feel from early 1900 I would guess.
They did have a security guard. The have a small section with seating and watching tv. It also felt classic there. There was a restaurant attached to it. The rooms are probably 180(?) square feet. They were small but adequate. I found the hotel and our room to be clean. I personally found our room to be quiet. The window AC unit worked well. Parking; it's present on the block in a separate public garage. We took the train/subway. I am fussy on clean, quite, and safe hotels. Hotel St James did not disappoint."
