A true gem of a hotel

When I return to NYC, this is where I'm going to stay. It's in Chelsea, where my trip was focused, but everything about the hotel gets two thumbs up. The low-key staff is pleasant without being obsequious. Staff offered great dining recommendations. My room was very comfortable and had the coolest fixtures AND free Internet service. This is my new favorite hotel.

second stay at hotel

My recent stay was the second time at this hotel. I had a much better experience than the first. The staff is friendly and cooperative. I was upgraded to a larger room, although all rooms in this hotel are small. The room is kept clean, the staff was great, and you will find this to be a convenient location to Manhattan attractions.

Chelsea Gem is true to its name

Great experience...close to river, midtown, village, restaraunts, bars, shopping. Quiet room. Very clean and nicely laid out for a small room. One on the end is best.

very small room

The room was very small even for a NY hotel. Housekeeping did not provide us with more soap and toilet paper after we ran out until we asked so don't expect replacements unless you contact the front desk. Location is great, but I would not stay in this hotel again.

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

Shops near the hotel close at 10 p.m. but further downtown and east of the hotel (within walking distance) are medium budget restaurants & bars.,
