Looking for a hotel in the center of Manhattan? The Hotel St. James might be a little rough around the edges, but the location is fantastic and the rates are a sight for sore eyes.
The marble reception area is impressive, but the shabby former lobby that now serves as luggage storage indicates that parts of the hotel haven't yet received a face lift.
A well-worn, wood-paneled elevator leads to guestrooms down cramped hallways. Rooms are a little run down—loose drawer handle here, a scuffed end table there—but walls are painted in vibrant color accentuated by tasteful wallpaper. The furniture is fashioned from cherry wood in the colonial style. Bathrooms are spotless and appear to be brand new.
