The Chelsea's website suggests a "charming" and "renovated" townhouse hotel, with slightly odd furnishings but a great location and budget appeal. The location bit is accurate, the rest not so much. A colleague and I took neighboring fifth floor rooms, planning to share a bathroom. The rooms were tatty, cramped, smelly and hot. My friend got bitten by insects while, outside, a noisy nightclub kept a steady flow of partygoers and horn-happy taxi drivers going until 4.30am. Only then could we sleep. The staff were friendly enough when we checked out four nights early, but unless you're in NYC to go clubbing, I'd seriously suggest you avoid yourself the grief, and book elsewhere.
