Hotel St. James
Incredible location that is unbeatable for the price. Tiny rooms. Cool old building. Slow WiFi. Very friendly staff. Luggage room if you arrive early.

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown
Seven days stay, the location is great. Room was cleaned eve day which was great. But there are some savings that I do not understand: The hotel does not provide the typical, two bottles of water per room per nigh. That's the reason I do not give a 5. That's so cheap why they bother?
