I stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Manhattan Chelsea with a friend for a week during Easter 2005. We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was really helpful in a professional but casual way; friendly. They gladly gave us recommendations on restaurants and shops etc and always greeted us with a smile. We loved our room which was quite small but very modern and clean & cool with a brown colour range (very cosy) and situated on a high floor with a great view. The beds were really wonderful! Also I had brought my laptop and the internet access worked smoothly!
The hotel was being partly refurbished during our stay, so the restaurant was not that great at the time, but I suppose it is much better now. We hung out in the hotel bar next to the lobby for a while and it was small but nice. Also with a modern urban feel to it. The shared areas (lobby, bar etc) were a bit small, but on the other hand all of hip NY was within walking distance! We really loved the location in Chelsea, which was close to all the cool places we wanted to go to. The street was a bit dark and "not happening", but that also made it calm, which was good. We felt completely safe and right in the middle of things. We walked each morning to have breakfast at a diner which I found redommended on this site (Malibu, I think it was called). Just a couple of blocks away, perfect! No fuss and not too expensive.
I would gladly stay at this hotel again - it's totally worth the price! And I would definitely recommend the place to anyone, especially if you are a couple of friends travelling without children.
