Chelsea hotel is supposedly a great hotel with alot of history. the hotel was a total dump, dirty and the rudest most unfriendly staff with attitude ive ever encountered. they didnt leave us washclothes or extra towels or soap and shampoo. wheni called downstairs to get it was told they items were "locked up" and couldnt be gotten till next... more

My daughter and I stayed here for 5 days recently after reading all the reviews on this site and others. Expecting the worst, I nevertheless went ahead and booked because of the location and other factors. I will say first that I understand where the negative comments come from, although I do not share the at times over the top... more

The Chelsea Hotel was recommended to me by a friend. Reading about its history made me very excited to book a room there for 5 nights - price per night $400 including taxes. Entering the lobby actually matched my expectations (a bit cheeky to have to pay the full charge of 5 nights upfront). But once up in my room... more

We were headed to NYC w/ some good friends who booked the hotel. We checked out the hotel's website, and thought it looked great--and we liked the price and location, too. Then I started reading all of these reviews and was almost dreading our arrival! Well, the hotel was great. We had a recently-renovated very large two BR suite on... more

Well, it's the Chelsea, and to be honest it was exactly what I expected, good and bad. It was just a single night stay, as we passed through New York on the way home, and I have to admit it gave me a tremendous buzz to walk in through those hallowed portals, with their lists of people who had lived... more

You can not help but feel the soul of this place being pushed down your throat upon entering, if you can't feel that don't stay here, if you... more

We stayed at the Chelsea hotel last month for 4 days. I had always wanted to stay here as I am fascinated by the history and the art in this hotel. The art is amazing and I would recommend calling in to see it. The downside is that the hotel is severly run down. I found it such a shame... more

My husband is a musician, need I say more? We stayed at the Chelsea Hotel, because he wanted the experience of staying where so many ledgens have lived and died. Alot of work has been put into the lobby and stair cases, but our room was not so lucky. It was small, which I can deal with- it is New... more

Having read many reviews before i got to the hotel, i was prepared for the worst, and my stay went pretty much as expected. Our room was on the first floor looking out onto 23rd street, directly above a club which did not close until 4am. There was no air con, and just an insufficient ceiling fan which at one... more
