If you are not at all into paying 350.00 and up for a hotel room in NYC, then the Chelsea is for you. Great price, and the people on the phone and at the desk are so friendly you feel like you have won a prize or something. the location is terrific as well - close to the subway and with some nice restaurants in the area. However, if you like super amenities and just really need that typical Hilton feel, I would not recommend it. We stayed in two rooms at the chelsea - one was on the ground floor and one on the third floor. The ground floor room, although less expensive, was dark and a little sketchy. also, the pipes banged all night. Higher up, much nicer room and no banging pipes! So ask to be upstairs, even though you have to climb stairs. Like everything in NYC, rooms were small but adequate. The internet went in and out, but at least you don't have to pay for it. Breakfast coupons for the bakery downstairs should be used - the bakery stuff is great and the coffee worth it. In all, I would go back, to an upper room, as the price and people make it worth it.
