Second time staying here. It’s cozy in the sense that the room is small, but if you’re aware of that going in it’s totally fine. The room is in good shape, the only frustrating part is the noise from the heat kicking on at 5am every day. Outside of that, it’s actually a very quiet hotel by New York standards. Would recommend!

For the price, what you get is not bad. It’s a place to sleep while visiting the city and not spending a lot of money. It’s small, but comes with essentially what you need, a bed, a TV, refrigerator and microwave with coffee machine. Very simple. If traveling with kids, might not recommend. I had a small room and shared a bathroom with the adjoining room. But it was just for one night and my toddler and I left the following morning to get on the train so it wasn’t a big deal. Reminds me of a hostel. Very clean and customer service is very responsive. It’s self check-in with codes that they email you.

The Chelsea Inn was clean, easy to check in/out, and in a convenient location. I was nervous about the process but it was easy. Note you have to carry your bags up stairs and I had my own private bathroom.

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.
