Holiday Inn Manhattan 6th Ave - Chelsea in New York, NY

We’ve been to NYC multiple times and stayed all over the city but this was the first time here. The location is great for getting uptown or going downtown. There’s a subway line on either end of the street within a few blocks. It was easy taking the bus/subway from LaGuardia to this location. The staff was extremely helpful including when we had to change rooms due to a water leak. They found us an identical room on a different floor and even gave us a complimentary breakfast at the hotel for our trouble. Checking in and out was easy and the staff was not uptight or finicky. We had two double beds which isn’t easy to find in NYC for a good price anymore. The beds were comfortable, great pillows. Room was the typical small NYC room but had a small closet to hang clothes, a safe, a nice TV, a desk, and small luggage rack. The bathroom was small like most NYC hotels but it seemed modern, clean, everything worked well, towels were nice and thick and plentiful. It was a great experience. Don’t come to NYC thinking you’re going to get space and a soundproof room unless you are willing to pay A LOT of money. It’s Manhattan so appreciate it for what it is. This location does not have a free breakfast which was fine. We’ve stayed at other NYC hotels with a free breakfast and it’s usually a madhouse. It’s not worth the hassle and the mediocre free breakfast food you typically get. Save some money on your room and go grab a bagel or a quick bite in any of the nearby delis or markets if you want breakfast. They do have free coffee and hot tea in the lobby although there was only hot water for the tea at night. The rooms have small Keurigs with a few K-cups from 8 o’clock coffee. We used that for coffee in the evenings and it was fine. This hotel has recently been remodeled. They will store your bags for you if you arrive early or need to check out and explore the city before you depart. There is a great pub just a few doors down and the hotel sits in the middle of 26th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. It’s a short walk up 6th to reach Herald Square and Macy’s. It’s a short walk up 7th to reach Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. Again, the subway lines are convenient to the hotel to take you anywhere in Manhattan, the other boroughs or the airports. Definitely would consider staying here again.

Be careful, they will keep your 150 USD "security deposit" for resort fees after confirming on check-in that ALL resort fees/taxes had been prepaid, which was also confirmed on check-out. They also lied that my 150 USD deposit had already been refunded to my card on checkout when questioned.

Destiny at the front desk was absolutely amazing, professional and friendly! Raymond was always busy helping guests and making sure the property was clean, and finally the two folks who ran the breakfast area were great! Location is perfect for any and all activities. Highly recommend this property for all!

Friendly staff, clean, good location. Good size (for Manhattan's standards) comfortable room fully functional. Room for improvement: breakfast pastries. While the hot dishes were good, the bagels and croissants in the plastic drawers were totally dry and stale.

Holiday Inn Chelsea NYC had very pleasant staff and was vey comfortable and affordable for the great location. It wad near the High Line and Chelsea market. The friendly staff made it outstanding. Especially the front desk staff. Definitely would stay there again.
