I had to pay top dollar because of the season so I was horrified to walk into a closet size room with only a small pathway around the queen size bed. But after a few days I got used to it and actually loved the entire experience at the Gem hotel. Free bottled 'designer' water every day and extra by request which is a must in NY with all the walking. Free in room wifi. The bathroom was super modern with all new fixtures, great shower and nice towels. The rooftop deck was nice allowing you to get out of the tiny room and enjoy some fresh air with many tables to sit and eat take out food from any of the great nearby restaurants, ( Murray's Bagels across the street) Easy walking distance to the High Line, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Market, Bleeker Street, SoHo shopping, West Village, Union Square and Penn Station. Corner subway allows quick access to the Theater district or Brooklyn or anywhere you wish to go. Taxis are unlimited on 8th Ave right out the door. No problem to grab one in a pinch. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. I grew very fond of this Gem of a hotel oasis from the noise of the city!
