Not going to stay here again.

There was a burning hot pipe right behind the head of our bed. We had no control over how hot that was. And it was uncomfortable. The bed was otherwise comfortable. The television did not work. The WiFi was very spotty. There were dirty tissues under the bed and detritus in the hard to reach corners around the bed. The fridge in the room either leaked water as it defrosted or froze our leftovers when I turned it up slightly. The bathroom was pretty nice. Staff was pleasant.

The hotel is very old, narrow and without an elevator . No house keeping, the customer must get rid of the trash , change towels and replace the bed sheets themselves. The only good thing about the hotel is the area, it is great for walking , lively and near subway.

I was very satisfied with my recent stay at the Chelsea Inn, as I was in previous stays. It is just what I want for accommodation in New York. The prices are reasonable, the rooms are modest but clean and comfortable, it’s in an interesting neighborhood, and several Metro lines are within walking distance. I would, and plan to, stay there again.

Our room was above a night club. We basically got no sleep for the 2 nights we were there. We would not have stayed there if we knew that. Every thing else was fine.

Overall good

Overall a good stay. The one annoying thing (and it was very annoying) was dealing with a guest who shared a bathroom with me. They literally turned it into their own personal bathroom (hanging towels in common spaces, leaving dirty towels and hair everywhere) and I had to constantly step around their dirty towels on the floor. For that, I wish this hotel at least cleaned the bathrooms each day. Not really a complaint but a reminder for guests: for towels, soap, toilet paper, even a plunger for the toilet, it's all in the first floor closet underneath the stairs.

The Chelsea Inn was in a great location. Great for walking around Manhattan and subway stations nearby for travelling around the boroughs. Staff were great, friendly and really helpful. Room was small but had all we needed. Would definitely recommend!!

I liked the location, very convenient, next to subway stations, and walkable distance to Times Square or the Empire State Building. I did not like the room size, photos do no reflect the real size, too small, and the heat was too high, could not be change. Does not have elevator and stair case is narrow and steep.
