Stayed at the Chelsea Savoy for three days Oct 2-5. Checking in was easy and fast. The staff was courteous and check in was simple. My room was on the 5th floor and away from the noise down on 23rd street.
The room was very basic and spot-free. The only thing- the room was a bit small... however you don't go to NYC to sit in a room all day so I didn't mind. The elevator was a bit slow but again nothing major. The complimentary continental breakfast was pasties and coffee but there are dozens of places in the Chelsea area to eat any time of the day or night. It's steps away from all the major subway lines both uptown and downtown... and midtown is only 2 stops away.
The bed wasn't very soft but the shower was clean- plenty of towels, toiletries and other hotel staples were stocked. Check out took about 30 seconds and the staff was again very helpful. I've seen other reviews complaining about the noise, but it's NYC... it's always noisy but not so much you can't sleep... try to request a room on the 4th, 5th or 6th floor if you're concerned. It's a lively area and Chelsea stays up late.
