Small, noisy and dirty rooms

I don't recommend this place anybody. The rooms are very small. The bed was very bad, I stayed 3 nights and had huge pain on my back. The room was so dirty, lot of dust, marks on the wall, horrible. You can hear everything from the hallway and neighbors and lot of noise from outside. I found tiny bugs from my bed. There are 2 bathrooms per floor and there is nothing to clean the bathroom so after taking shower, bathrooms are dirty. Area has lot of homeless, unsafe.

Place is good. For the price and location, i would come back again. Area is a bit darker at night and some homeless. I guess NY is like that nowadays. Stay is pleasant.

Great Economical Place to stay while visiting NYC

Lamartine Chelsea is in a great location, close to Times Square, Broadway, The High Line, and so on. It's a great price for the city. Nothing fancy but it's clean and comfortable. We don't spend much time in our room when we go to New York so it was just a place to sleep and clean up. Fantastic spot if that is what you are looking for. Check in was smooth and they let us leave our bags there after check out until we were ready to head home.

Try somewhere else

The room they gave me had no window, and the lock on the door is a code, with no inside lock. Felt unsafe and overall it really was not as it looks in the photos. I arrived saw my room and left immediately. Do not recommend.

Rooms were not as advertised at entire building ranked of marijuana even though we were told there was no smoking. Bed sheets were stained and pillows were dirty. Looking. Room was about the size of a closet. Tried communicating for several days leading up to our check-in with the staff with no return calls or messages. I highly recommend you choose a different property and don't waste your money here.

Unacceptable service

I booked for 3 nights double occupancy but was given just one bath towel, when I asked for a set for the 3 nights I was told to pay extra. Very very ridiculous.
