NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service, clean, and a charming place with great location near koreatown."

The Lexington Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful at the Lexington!!! The staff were incredibly accommodating to our requests such as early check-in, late check-out, and proximity to our family we were traveling with. They even let us use the lobby for congregating and they let me borrow an umbrella during the blizzard. The free waters from the gift shop were a nice touch. The breakfast was delicious. Close proximity to shopping, Broadway, Times Square, and other tourist attractions. If I am able to visit NYC again, I will definitely look into staying at the Lexington again! "

Hotel St. James

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a small, simple hotel in the heart of Manhattan within walking distance of Times Square—but without the constant lights and noise—Hotel St. James is a great option. The location is fantastic, making it easy to walk to many theaters, restaurants, and major attractions. The hotel itself is economical and clean, which is exactly what we were looking for during our stay. It’s definitely not a luxury hotel, and the mattresses could use an upgrade. However, if you’re someone who values location, affordability, and a quiet place to sleep in the middle of Manhattan, this hotel works well. Overall, I would stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family who don’t mind modest accommodations in exchange for an unbeatable location."
