Everyone was so nice, I wasn't aware there wasn't an elevator and my room was on the fifth floor... I had a lot of luggage and work gear and the guy working here helped me take it all up the stairs! 😁 Also wasn't aware that they couldn't hold luggage after 3 pm... I had to take all of my luggage to work with me on checkout day because I couldn't have come back to get it by 3.

I stay here several times a year as my business has me in the city a fair amount. It's a perfect location in Chelsea, away from the high tourism of midtown, and close enough to the great hangouts in the Village. Convenient to major subway lines, and the staff is always super friendly.

I chose the room on Expedia. My credit card was cancelled by my bank for nefarious aactivity. The Chelsea Hotel then cancelled my reservation. They did not call me. I tried calling them and went through a phone tree that was not only not helpful but hung up on me three times. I tried to make a new reservation which was more than twice the original amount. I chose a different hotel.

This is great for a short stay. Rooms are small but cozy, and beds are stiff but sufficient. Sometimes all you need is a safe space to sleep for a night. Plenty of bodegas and restaurants around, so no concerns there. No elevator and front desk is only available for so many hours of the day. It was perfect for me.

Booked a room for 3 people but the room was smaller than a dorm room for 2. The fold out bed was very uncomfortable and too short for a 5’7 person. The towel hanger was broken and the room was in general disrepair. There was a distinct smell of mildew and bleach causing an allergic response.
