We stayed at the Chelsea Pines for 4 nights in October 2011 and would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay in the Meat Packing District of New York. The moment we arrived to the day we departed we could not have received friendlier or more helpful service, from the invitation to the Owners 25th anniversary drinks reception (which we couldn't make) to the daily print out of suggestions for places to go and see, recommendations for restaurants etc, etc.
The rooms themselves are comfortable with each room themed along the lines of an individual Hollywood Legend - we stayed in the Dorris Day room. The only down-side to the rooms is that the bathrooms and showers are a little on the small side, but that is the challenge facing any hotelier wishing to preserve the historic layout of these brownstone buildings. The bedroom itself was a good size and overlooked a pleasant courtyard back garden that can be used by hotel guests. My only suggestion for improving the room would be the addition of tea and coffee making facilities.
The breakfast, which is included in the price, provided at the hotel was delicious with a small but excellent selection of options to help yourself to including some fabulous muffins sourced from a nearby bakery.
The Chelsea Pines hotel is a great place to base yourself for a wonderful stay in Manhattan. Be sure to also check out the nearby Skyline Park just down the road which is a unique addition to the cities greenspace.
