Myself and my partner spent five nights at the Chelsea Pines. The experience was fantastic, on arrival we were made feel very welcome and given advice on what to do, see, shows to take in etc. We were staying on the top floor but if you're relatively young and fit you wont have any problems and the room (Deluxe) was fantastic. It was much bigger than we had expected with a seperate seating area in between the wash room and sleeping area. The breakfast was highly commendable and the stairs made a welcome way to burn off all those carbs and calories, a good choice of cereals, bread, porridge, donuts, muffins, smoked salmon along with coffee, tea and juice, as much as you can eat. Theres also a nice terrace to the rear of the building which is nice to sit out on and enjoy breakfast or just chill out,

The area cannot be rated highly enough, its as listed right on the edge of the meatpacking district, chelsea and greenwich village. Theres lots of restaurants which open late in the area and plenty of bars. The subway is almost on the doorstep. We broke our trip to NY with a stop off in Mass, we stayed elsewhere on the second occasion, but regreted not coming back to the Chelsea Pines, not because our second location was poor quality, it just didnt compare. We'll be back at the Chelsea Pines on our next trip to NY next summer.
