Very Friendly, Helpful Staff, Great Location
My husband and I just stayed 4 nights at The James. The staff's warm and welcoming attitudes make this hotel. We would like to give special recognition to Chris, the big guy at the front of the hotel. He was an absolute ray of sunshine, extremely helpful, and so friendly. 
We liked the hotel because it was modern, and well maintained, and has so many tucked away areas that feel like a green oasis in a city full of concrete and steel. The bed was very comfortable, great view from our windows, and great location for shopping, restaurants, and access to adjacent neighborhoods. 
Will absolutely consider staying here again while visitng NYC.
