Treat Yourself to a Great Hotel
Pros:

This hotel is perfectly located in the center of all things Manhattan. If you like to walk, you can go anywhere on foot, but there is a convenient subway station on the same block. The hotel is historic and very well maintained. Our suite was spacious and quiet. The Café, Lobby Bar, and Teruko are all excellent food and/or beverage choices. The rooftop fitness center is adorable and well-stocked. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Great hotel, fantastic beds and area
Pros:

Historic hotel that manages to keep the history, yet update the feel to modern expectations.
Lots of details that you only get at a hotel from the 1880's without it feeling outdated, old or that at one point it was a beautiful place.
Its clean, well kept and everything looks new... even though nobody has craftsmanship like this everywhere you look anymore.

Cons:

Little pricy... really that is the only downside, however its on line with or less than many surrounding areas.
And you are right in the middle of Manhattan, so nothing is a bargain
That said, I'd pay a little more again to stay there because it was so nice and comfortable

Would be happy to return when next in NYC.
Pros:

Great location and historical setting, lovely rooms and general hotel vibe with attentive staff.

Cons:

Teruko; despite a lovely setting and attentive staff this didn’t make up for the overpriced and underwhelming Japanese food.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel, the room was spacious and it felt very old world bohemian. The service was excellent, and we thought the location was good too, central for transport.

Loved our stay
Pros:

Came to Hotel Chelsea for a weekend visit and had a really wonderful stay. The history and charm of the hotel was what brought us here, but the staff was what set the stay apart for me. Cal helped us out and he was attentive to every detail, went above and beyond and really made our stay special. We had an exceptional weekend and I’d recommend this hotel to anyone looking for something special for your next trip to NYC.

Amazing Stay At The Chelsea Hotel
Pros:

I took my sister-in-law to the hotel for her Birthday and it was spectacular! Walking into the hotel is breathtaking with curated artwork in every wall. The architecture has been preserved to its original lustre to give you the impression you have stepped back in time with all of today’s amenities. We were lucky enough to reserve a stunning apartment that was decorated with handpicked furnishings and solid brass hardware and fixtures throughout. Every detail was thought of down to the joyful wallpaper inside the closets. No expense was spared in decorating the apartment and each piece was so unique and beautiful in its own way. I would assume each handpicked and most items were custom made. It was the most luxurious hotel room I have ever been in. My sister-in-law was thrilled and so was I. I will definitely be back for the next special occasion I have.

Would pay what thwey are asking ,would not stay for free !!!!
Pros:

Very expensive and I have been several times before!!!! My room did not have a window, it was dark, on the first floor, I could hear music downstairs at night. I could not read because the lighting was so bad. I finally complained and the manager offered me 20 percent off and apologized . I left early !!! The manager also said we never put returning customers in that room, we made a mistake!!! Nobody should be in that room even for free. Location is great for me when visiting my daughter but the mangers lack of care was astoundng,he acted like oh well you are correct and just mouthed words!!!!! The hotel is so busy , he does not need to be accountable !!! I will never ever stay there again !!!!!! Totally not worth the money and does well in spite of poor leadership!!!! Don't waste your money!!!!

Like having an apartment in the city
Pros:

This is a historic property with a lot of character, definitely not a bland modern hotel. It was originally a housing cooperative, and still had some long-term tenants until fairly recently. We booked a 1-bedroom suite which actually felt like an apartment, with a full kitchen and a washer-dryer. That was a welcome opportunity to launder some clothes, though the dryer took forever. It was a fun change of pace from previous New York hotel stays. It would be even better for an extended stay where one might take advantage of the fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals. That said, the aesthetic is fairly dark and old, which we didn’t love - this comes down to personal preference.
The kitchen was restocked daily with an impressive array of complimentary snacks including gourmet chocolate bars, which was awesome, plus they welcomed us with a plate of macarons and a bottle of wine. Service was good, as was breakfast at the restaurant. The location is fantastic, with two different subway lines at either end of the block, and a third line a block further away, making it very easy to get around.
