"Really friendly staff at Chelsea Pines Inn. Clean, comfortable room - average size by NYC standards but that means not cramped. WiFi signal good. Killer location in the heart of Chelsea; 1/2 block to the subway. Nice backyard garden with plenty of seating.
Lacks some of the amenities I'd usually prefer (gym, pool, restaurant) and there's no elevator but if you can manage stairs it's a great price for a safe comfortable NYC hotel. Would stay there again."
