I was planning a stay in New York with my wife and newborn baby. I read the wonderful reviews at the reasonably prices hotel. However, when I called I was told the hotel "was not suitable" for children or infants under 16 years old. I did not quite understand so I asked and was told that the "hallways were not... more

We just returned from an overnight at The Chelsea Pines in in NYC. We were attending a concert at the Hiro Ballroom in The Maritime Hotel, and couldn't afford a room there. So we started doing some research to find something more reasonable. We came across CPI from a map-quest search for hotels close to the concert venue. The Hotel... more

What a fantastic little hotel! The staff were very friendly - you might be mistaken to think you were somewhere else but New York! The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was good and the all day coffee and cookies was a nice treat. The subway is also very close to the hotel. I stayed here for four nights... more

Ideal location, very very close to subway station, breakfast provided for free, room very small but doable for a few nights, and to be expected from new york. Staff very friendly and helpful. more

NYC - thought I'd hate it. Went with my wife for a gallery opening. surprisingly, the city was good. The hotel was great. very accommating, helpful, close to subway + galleries+ good restrauants, etc. When we go back, we'll stay here again. more

The quiet, pleasant, respectful atmosphere of the hotel made it a nice place to "come home to." With excellent access to all lines on the subway, Broadway and the Financial District are no more than 15 minutes away. Two blocks... more

To give some frame of reference for my review: When my wife and I travel (especially in Europe) we tend to stay in small hotels and pensions independently owned and without most amenities. That is the type of establishment to expect with the Chelsea Pines Inn. It is run by a friendly staff that happily held our bags while we... more

The Chelsea Pines Inn, wonderfully located on West 14th St in NYC, has got all the details right. The staff are personable and friendly, yet there is a sense of valued privacy for all. The rooms have movie star themes (for instance, I was in the Kim Novack room), complete with movie posters and a star on the door. Towells... more

We loved our stay in the Chelsea Pines Inn. It is in a convenient part of town (on 14th Street between 8th and 9th Aves) within walking distance of Soho, Greenwich Village etc and very close to a subway stop. The hotel itself is clean and our room (the Ann-Margret room) had everything we needed: safe, ironing board, aircon, ipod... more
