The Hotel Chelsea

Although I loved the hotel and it is a step back in time which is one of the reasons I had waited for a long time to go there. My Main complaint was I booked a Premier room for a special weekend in New York. On the website It looks like it comes with a balcony and when you get there if you haven’t called and reserved a specific balcony room, you pay the same amount of money but get a room that is not nearly as nice. Felt a lot like a baiting switch. I would not recommend getting the Premier room if you’re not sure you’re getting one.

my only complaint is the gym lighting in both the rooms and hallways

Really great art everywhere. Cool mood lighting. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Great neighborhood. Able to walk every place we wanted to see. Loved the marble bathroom with the brass fixtures. Very quiet. Slept so well. Good cable tv. Saw some great movies. Cafe is amazing. Spend the money and go!

There is a lot of Staff on site. Each one is there to help -take advantage, make an effort to make contact with them, each member that I spoke to was so cheerful and willing! Thank- you for hiring great Staff! & Training them well! Eat at least once at the hotel. But reserve a table. Go for it. In town that night and don’t want to start searching the city for something to do, get tickets to Gotham Comedy club next door, don’t need a coat to use to get there! Then 10 steps back to the Hotel. Very easy.

I totally enjoyed the stay, the parking garage arrangements were well done. The staff was super helpful, the restaurants we visited and room service were great. I loved the art throughout the hotel, the mix of stories about famous celebrities as well as ghost stories really made the place feel special. A lot of nice touches in design. The technology was good too, wifi, tvs capable of connecting to one's phone, it was all good. I hope to return and would highly recommend for a fun time exploring NYC's mid to lower Manhattan.
