recently spent a night at this hotel. I was really suprised at how much we enjoyed it .
wasn't sure of the location, but proved to be very easy to access subway uptown and down, The continential breakfast was very good also, The staff was very friendly and helpful, we stored our luggage after check out so we could shop then took a shuttle to the airport, everything worked out fine. The bed was comfortable, and the room was very clean. We will definitely stay here again.
Hampton Inn Chelsea

Our 2 bed room was not ready when we arrived at 4pm(check-in was 3pm). We were told we could wait, but instead just opted for a 1 queen bed since we were only staying for 1 night. The shower head in the bath was awful, only half of the water came through. There was hardly any water pressure and was it pulled out of the wall. Rooms were tiny, no safebox, the A/C heating unit was also quite shabby. My toiletries must have been left over from previous guests b/c the packaging had dried water mark crust on them. The bed and blankets/sheets were very comfortable and soft. Overall it was DECENT, GOOD ENOUGH. We were only using the place to get ready to go out and to sleep. Only stayed here because the usual hotel we stay was book. We'll be going back to our usual hotel from now on.
p.s the "fitness facility" is the size of a walk-in closet with 2 treadmills
Great time in NYC

We stayed at the Hampton Inn/Chelsea, and we were very pleased with the service,
breakfast was good, rooms were comfortable and clean, not huge rooms, but fine since we
were out all day. Good location, near art galleries, not far from Empire State Bldg.
Ate at Empire Diner, very good, and also at Patsy's Pizzaria, very good also. A market close
by with take-out was a plus. Uses subway system and felt safe and much quicker and
cheaper than the cabs.
Good value, convenient

hotel was in a quiet neighborhood with a Whole Foods Market one block away, many neighborhood restaurants nearby, subway station around the corner. Room was clean and comfortable, complimentary hot breakfast was good, with fresh fruit and orange juice, pastries, hot entrees. Had two queen beds - better than most hotels with two doubles. A long walk to Times Square, but cabs and subways are easy to catch.
Good value for money

Good value for the money. I found out you can stay further uptown but for more $$$. The room was very attractively decorated and all the staff were extremely helpful. Rooms are smaller than the photos look on the internet but hey you're in Mahattan and who expects a big room? You still have plenty of room to move around. Bed was comfortable and the breakfast was great featuring both hot and cold items every morning. Also, they changed the menu from am to am and that was good. Also, you have computers in the lobby with internet access which I appreciated since I did not bring my laptop. There are resturants, banks, drugs stores nearby where you can grab the stuff you forget to bring, cheaper sodas or replace stuff you have to throw out in the airplort. Taxis and buses are easily found on 6th and 7th streets (the 2 major crossstreets.) My only concern was walking around the block at night because the street is quiet (which is good) but there are also not a lot of people around after dark. Overall, good hotel - worth the money. Empire State Building is about 10 blocks up and Madison PARK (not the venue) is 2 blocks over.
