We booked this hotel because we wanted to try a hotel in Chelsea (we normally stay at the Benjamin or the Marriott East Side in Midtown). The rooms were small but newly renovated. The downsides were: no onsite parking; there are only two elevators for the entire hotel so any time of day or night not only will you wait for an elevator but also once on the elevator you will make countless stops before reaching your desired destination; the tv is cable and comes with an old-fashioned box and cryptic messages on how to use it; the business center happens to be in a bad cell signal/wireless range and in order to use laptops wirelessly (to print) you have to reach an outside vendor for a security code which is not possible with a wireless signal that frequently drops; the breakfast was adequate but the wait-staff was almost pushy without being helpful. (We had trouble getting silverware and napkins). The hotel is new and stylish but basic/no frills.
