As a born and raised New Yorker, my stay at The Maritime Hotel was truly exceptional from beginning to end. The hotel itself has such a unique charm. Vintage style, comfortable, and perfectly located in the heart of Chelsea. One of the best parts of staying here is the location. The hotel is directly across the street from Chelsea Market, with some of NYC's best spots including Tao Downtown, Philippe, Catch, and Dream, all less than a minute walking distance away. I want to thank Alex at the front desk, I believe he is the front desk Manager, who went above and beyond to make my stay special. His attentiveness, thoughtful hospitality, and genuine care for guests truly stood out. Small gestures and meaningful conversations can make all the difference, and Alex embodies exactly what exceptional hospitality should feel like. I enjoyed my conversation with you Alex, thank you and I look forward to seeing you soon. I highly recommend The Maritime Hotel to anyone visiting NYC. read more

We had a lovely stay at the Maritime. The location is great. We stayed in a Terrace Room suite with a (unheated) terrace and a great view of the Empire State Building if you turn your head just right. I do wish they had slightly stronger light bulbs with dimmers, as some areas of the room felt a little dark. read more

This hotel is nice, but it is too old fashion design for me. I like more modern hotels. It is designed to be old fashion, classy, and dark. I do love the lobby. It's seems more like a library with the books around. I like the fire place area too. The lobby has a lot of sitting and has complimentary coffee and tea area. The room was a decent size. I do not like the design of the rooms, but then again, it's made to be an old fashion theme design. The business center was a small room, might have one on each floor but I am not sure. The gym was also nice but very small, not much equipment there. It is a nice hotel but its not for me, due to the design and size of the gym. read more

Fantastic spot from top to bottom! Central location across from Chelsea market. Cool design and theme, nice cozy wood lobby and rooms. Small rooms typical to nyc but well designed. Can't believe I got a tub! Staff are fantastic, and on a rainy Sunday this place felt like a cozy cruise read more

My husband and I stayed at the Maritime Hotel for a couple of nights this past weekend for my birthday. The hotel is - you guessed it - nautical themed (the building used to house the National Maritime Union of America), and it's beautiful, with every detail thought through. There are round windows (nods to the portholes on ships), wood paneling like the inside of a fancy cruise ship, and a beautiful lobby complete with a library of books and some beautiful art and decor. The rooms (at least ours) was quite small but had everything we needed (plenty of storage - I like to unpack my bag); outlets, storage, and reading lights built into the bedside units; and a comfortable bathroom. The only thing we didn't find was a coffeemaker, but they have coffee downstairs with a light continental breakfast included with your room each day. The customer service was really great - everyone was very friendly and helpful. Location? Also great. The hotel is just around the corner from Chelsea Market and down the block from the 14 St / 8 Av subway station. All in all, it was a nice place to stay and for a reasonable price (especially as this was an off-season visit)! I'd stay again. read more

I asked for a quiet room on a high floor away from the elevator and got exactly that. The small rooms at the Maritime Hotel are well-designed and the location is convenient (very walkable, plenty of options for food nearby). My room had plenty of light and space to put my things away. One night during my stay, I ate dinner on the small table near the window in my room and it was quite pleasant (and not nearly as pathetic as eating dinner alone in one's tiny hotel room might sound). Most tiny rooms don't have tables and I'm glad this one did. Overall, I'm a fan. read more

Just returned from a 4-night stay at the maritime and had a wonderful experience through and through. Upon arriving at the hotel you enter their lobby which is sure to be a highlight of your stay. It's ultra cozy with several clusters of couches framed by shelves stuffed with an awesome collection of books to leaf through, and crowned by a real fireplace at the end. It was lovely to thaw by the fire at the end of a busy, drizzly city day. They also have crisp and great tasting water always available there along with coffee for most of the day. Staff is great and went above and beyond to make our stay was seamless and relaxing. They held our luggage before/after checkout and were obliging with every request we had. High quality umbrellas were available for rainy days. Walking distance to some of manhattan's best restaurants, or very quick walk to the 14 st/8 av subway station for access to the entire city. The room was lovely and surprisingly spacious given that we were in Manhattan. Plenty of closet space, table and chairs, super convenient room. Bathroom was awesome too - the shower was my favorite hotel shower I've experienced (a rainfall with actual good pressure!). Room was cleaned well and often and we never had to ask for fresh towels, etc. Having read the reviews before arriving, we were expecting to face some disturbing noise from the club/street below, but were pleasantly surprised to have no discernible disruptive noise at all the whole of our stay! We slept like babies - the comfy bed helped too. Though we didn't bring along our dog this trip it was great to see other guests' pups comfy and welcomed with open arms. Overall, I highly recommend the maritime and we will go out of our way to stay here again on our next trip to NYC. read more

Nautical themed boutique hotel in a prime location in Chelsea. The rooms are tiny but nicely furnished, the porthole shaped windows provide lots of natural light, and every staff member we encountered was lovely. Plus, you can't beat the price; even on Christmas week, rooms were only $300ish per night. Pros: very comfortable bed, heavy blackout curtains, ample storage. Room service is available, but with Chelsea Market and so many fantastic restaurants and coffee shops just steps away, you will likely not need it. Good water pressure and nice amenities in the bathroom. Cons: the hotel is located directly next to a popular nightclub, so expect quite a bit of noise in the evening, especially on weekends. I recommend requesting a higher floor for this reason. I would not describe this hotel as luxurious, but we did find it comfortable and hospitable. And personally, we loved the dated cruise ship vibe of the hallways and lobby. It felt cozy. read more

We recently stayed here for a weekend trip. Overall this hotel offers a nice stay at a reasonable price. The rooms are decent size for New York-- we had a huge bed, sitting area, large bathroom, and large closets / storage areas big enough to keep our coats and bags from cluttering up the room. Breakfast is included and it's actually really nice--they served the kinds of things I eat at home. The maritime theme is cute. Staff is super friendly. read more

Super clean, great sheets, comfy bed with down comforter, and soft down pillows. The shower is a reason to stay here.....fantastic. we had a great sunset view from the 11th floor. Small-ish room, but had everything we needed. Breakfast buffet (continental) was easy and tasty. read more

This hotel is very run down. When I checked-in only half of the lights worked, no internet and the thermostat was broken. The room was set auto set for 78 degrees. I asked to be moved to a different room and they told me that they were sold out and I would have until the next day for a new room. I was moved to the 11th floor and my door lat h didn't lock. They had to bring up engineering at 10 pm to replace a door frame plate. My stuff sat in the room all day without the door locking unbeknownst to me. Safety isn't a top priority here. I would recommend avoiding this hotel at all costs. read more

Beautiful beautiful hotel. As soon as we got out of our taxi, Michael greeted us and helped take our bags in. I was in awe as soon as I walked up the steps to the lobby, it is absolutely the most stunning lobby I've ever been to. It has a darker, sophisticated vibe. I think my 9 year old was the only kid here lol. There are lots of chairs, places to sit, tons of books, a fire place, it's just a really nice place to hang out. And who wants to hang out in a hotel lobby? Well you're definitely gonna wanna hang out in this one. We were a little early to check in but the front desk said they would text us when our room was ready. Lucky for us, it was ready a few hours before the normal check in time so we walked back to get settled in our room. Excellent location. Chelsea market is a 1 min walk away and the Starbucks reserve is another block down. VERY convenient to walk everywhere. Would definitely stay here again. Wonderful service (Michael is the absolute best, AWESOME customer service!) from the whole staff. Would definitely stay here again, rooms are so cute, amenities in the bathroom smell great, location can't be beat, and customer service is amazing! read more

Great location, very hospitable & lovely staff - which was deserving of 4 stars. Rooms were a bit small and worn feeling. Bathroom was a great size but the toilet was lever flush which felt a bit like a public restroom. They held our bags prior to checking in and after checking out which was fantastic and very helpful. Overall good place to stay if you're just planning to sleep otherwise nothing special and more of a 3 star hotel for that reason. read more

I really liked this hotel. Expensive, but unique, upscale hotel in the meatpacking district. Close to Chelsea market, Chelsea Piers, Highline, numerous eateries and Hudson Yards. The history is quite fascinating and the porthole windows make this place distinctive (I was thrilled to discover that you can open the window!) The room was on the smaller side but most comfortable and cozy. The bathroom was stocked with any toiletry one may need, including toothpaste, Q- tips, soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Complimentary use of robes are available on a hook on bathroom door and the rain shower is divine. There is a stocked mini fridge and bar-all at a cost, but super convenient (there is a binder in the room which lists all the prices for drinks, snacks and other items). There is a restaurant on site and one right next door, both large and beautiful. Breakfast included was the standard continental fare, but the eating area was reminiscent of a 70's lounge and was really cool. The lobby/longing area has books to read and a fireplace to warm up by, with lots of comfortable seating and casual meeting areas. I would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again. read more

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this hotel, which I had previously trusted through my professional recommendations. Upon going to sleep I became itchy and was covered in bites. These bites were like nothing I have experienced before. (My partner also had a rash and bites) Despite informing the hotel immediately, they did not offer any reasonable solution. They said they were completely booked and the only response we received was a suggestion to change the bed sheets, or they could book a new hotel for me using my own credit card--with no promise of reimbursement. There was no offer to clean our belongings, address the room condition, or help us in any meaningful way. As a result, we had to cut our trip short, miss important work events, and rebook our flights home--at our own expense. The hotel then refused to refund one of the nights we stayed, despite the massive disruption to our trip and our documented discomfort. Although the hotel claims a negative bed bug test, something in the room clearly caused the bites and rash we experienced, and a test result doesn't change the fact that our stay was miserable and we had to leave early. (The test they conducted to inspect the room as of 2024 has been reported to be 44% accurate at finding bed bugs) I've stayed at many hotels and have never experienced such a lack of care or proper handling of a serious situation. I spoke with Patricia, the front desk manager, about this problem and her final response was that "the hotel takes matters very seriously and that they would have offered us another room if there was one available but they were sold out. It was your choice to check out." I shared with her, I understand that the test came back negative, but regardless of the results, my experience cannot be ignored. Having numerous bites and discomfort was very real. This situation significantly impacted my work trip, personal plans, and finances, so I believe it's important to address the issue beyond just the test results. I'm not asking for compensation for something I made up--I'm requesting a fair resolution based on the real consequences of my stay. She said, "there is nothing else we can do". To anyone considering this hotel, be aware that they may not support you if something goes wrong, and they might not take responsibility for issues that disrupt your trip. I've included photos of the bites and I would strongly caution others against staying here based on my experience. I am extremely disappointed in the way that this situation was handled and the lack of accountability this hotel has shown. read more

The recent experience now throws a monkey wrench into the MO. That MO being trying a new place each trip because new places are new experiences and a well-planned and well-researched new experience can be fun and rewarding. But then you stay at a place like here and you're all I don't want new experiences any more. I want this experience again. What a state of dilemmas. First world ones, to be sure and don't you forget that, but still. *wrings hands* Four nights one being NYE 2022 into 2023 here and as a home base, here is perfect. Location matters in relation to what you'll be doing. The E and A etc are a block away for transit and that isn't bad and staff will hail you a cab if you need one but if you want to walk to your meeting on Wall Street it's a bit of a walk. If, on the other hand, you want to walk on the High Line, trip the Chelsea lights fantastic, do anything in the village, groove in Nomad ... the location of this hotel is pretty much perfect. Comfortable rooms, not huge or with a gigantor TV which is actually good bc why watch TV all the time anyway. Asked for slippers to go with the robes and they were brought up immediately. Quiet rooms, even on a lower floor. Desk staff friendly and super competent, housekeeping on point, and the fellows running the doors and lobby polite and prompt and genuinely wanting to lend a hand. Recommend you checking it out with zero hesitation. Go. Now. read more

Super cute and unique hotel! I booked this hotel for my anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The second you enter the building you are swept away to a haze of ocean blue, hardwood, and books. The decor of the lobby was stunning, and it made me want to stay and chat. The standard bedroom is a queen sized bed with a mini table, two chairs, a tv, a room length mirror and an attached bathroom with only a shower. The bedroom was very cool and different from other hotels. It was super clean, the sheets looked fresh, and had a great view. The decor was equally as stunning and unique as the lobby and the bathroom was incredibly nice. The Maritime Hotel definitely feels like a serene oasis from the city while being in the city. It's in a great location as it is a 2 min walk from Chelsea market, popular nightclubs/restaurants like Tao and Catch, and fairly close to the Piers. The service was great and all staff I encountered were super friendly. The only negatives I found were the paid breakfast wasn't super big and my particular room's bed wasn't the comfiest. In all I would definitely book again! My total room price came out to about $350 after tax for a sat night with breakfast included, which is about average price in NYC. I think the location, ambience, and utilities definitely made this room worth it. read more

I've stayed in New York many times. Enjoyed the maritime hotel. I was on the second floor and it was so quiet. No sirens. No construction noises. Just a good night's sleep. Room was small but that's New York. Friendly staff and you can walk to Chelsea market for food. read more

Decent hotel close to Google HQ, Chelsea Market and 14th st. Lovely retrofitted from a former union hall. The Good: Great staff - especially the valets. Beautiful lobby with decent seating, library style. Rooms were a decent size, well appointed bath and cute niche shelving by the beds for phones, water etc. Dog friendly was a great plus. Five ***** for that. We didn't have one, but several folks were with their pups. The porthole windows opened. They had several working elevators to the rooms. The Bad: The mattresses were wayyy too soft. Like I sank in them. Likewise the pillow. The free breakfast was skimpy. We got there early because we had an early train back. No half & half. No juice. And grocery store bagels. As a displaced NYer I was offended. Better off going to Chelsea Market. The Ugly: There is no elevator from the street to the lobby. 16 steep but solid stairs. Oh they actually have a 1 person elevator that the valet runs until about 10p. We got back around 1030p, no one there so I schlepped up the stairs. Luckily I had a THC salve in my room to sooth my ancient knees. 1 - Chin ) Not particularly fluffy girl friendly. Chairs in the room both had arms. The restaurant only had lovely leather booths but anyone over a Buck-sixty wouldn't fit. This hotel at $400/night for someone with business at Google, or garment center is great. But anyone with mobility issues might look elsewhere. read more

The Maritime Hotel - Beautiful wood with a porthole window - Hotels Near Me - New York, New York

What a fun experience! If you're wondering why it's called the Maritime hotel, you'll quickly realize why. It is modeled to look like you're on a cruise ship, with porthole-shaped windows in the room. There is a darker ambience in the rooms (decor of dark brown wood and dark blue colors). Front desk service excellent. Never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be attended. There is ample seating in the lobby if you need to do work or meet up with people for the evening or the morning. The complimentary breakfast, which they do note is limited, is still really nice, especially for NY. There is a good amount of pastries, yogurts, fruits selection, as well as coffee and tea, which was sufficient to start the day. They also have a cocktail selection (this is not complimentary, but it is there!) in the lobby in the evenings. This is an excellent location right in Chelsea, mere blocks away from the highline, little island, and around 5 steps away from Chelsea market :D read more

This hotel is pretty cool, situated next to two trendy, fairly bland bar/clubs, Tao and Catch Steak (neither place I would ever spend a dime in after turning 30). The decor is nice, you walk into what feels like a library but with the front desk directly to the right and a big fireplace all the way at the end. The reception area would be fine if they served drinks or had a bar, when I asked if there was anything attached, the front desk lady said, no, and Tao doesn't open until 5 (it was 2:30). She was not helpful. What it lacks in reception area, it tries to make up for with a decent, not crazy-expensive mini-bar located in what looks like a mirrored closet! Pretty cool stuff, and we enjoyed it. The bed was fine, the room was clean but the neighborhood wasn't what I expected. We'll stay further downtown next time. read more

It is a nice clean hotel with a cruise ship theme. Front desk staff are helpful and professional. Breakfast is included in the price but it is only cold food (no scrambled eggs). The hotel is quiet compared to a bext door hotel which is louder and with a younger crowd, bar and a nightclub. The location of Maritime is perfect with a lot of restaurants and activities in the block. An excellent book collection. A large bathroom, but the room was not very big. read more

Overpriced. $430 with taxes and fees/ night. Terribly disappointed by my stay at the Maritime Hotel, room 404 on a Saturday night in June. It was supposed to be a superior room. First, the good things about the room were its operable porthole window and the bathroom. Everything else in the room was run down. The carpet was crusty and peeling at the seams in some places (there were no slippers provided. It was disgusting walking barefoot on it). The wood panelling was scratched and worn. One sconce on the mirrored wall was crooked. The TV was not working. The hair dryer plug was broken. The air vent wheezed at various times in the night and I was woken by a chorus of couples having sex. Onward to breakfast: few appetizing gluten free options, and when asked if I could order an omelette off room service, I was told that was not possible. The whole place felt like a 2 star hotel in Cairo--minus the roaches-- but made worse by the cool kid attitude of the staff. Will never stay here again. read more

I like the hotel so far. We stayed on the 9th floor. In a room with queen bed. I went to NY with my daughter to celebrate her 16th birthday on July 25th. So it was pretty warm in NY. Our room had AC thanks God! Room had a mini fridge full of drinks. But we didn't use it. I will add more after our stay. So we're back home and i Loved this hotel. Staff was very friendly We were leaving to the airport at 5pm that day. So after we checked out from our room at noon, the lovely reception desk lady offered us to leave our suite cases with them and hang out. It was very nice of her. Breakfast was very simple: coffee and cream, few puff pastry slices, muffins, fresh fruit. I loved the fact that they offered fresh NYTimes every morning! The hotel is very clean and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay at Maritime! read more

Our stay was great! All of the staff are so so kind and incredibly helpful. The room was clean and had just enough space for us! The location is also perfect- the subway station is on the same block, around a 5 min walk. My only complaint is that the intersection in front of the hotel has loud, nonstop cars honking all day and all night. We were on the 8th floor and shocked at how much honking we heard. If you're a light sleeper, try staying away from that street (9th ave). Otherwise we loved it and will definitely stay again! read more

very cool spot. the good the meh and bad good: super cool staff the dude on xmas eve who checked us in quite early, appreciated... the amazing lobby and fun petite ship room w portal window and comfy bed the meh: breakfast is fine but kinda chain hotelish and corporate- use a local bakery w crusty loafs instead of bleh sliced bread use farmers market yogurt not corporate dairy the bad sock on floor in our room in check in!!! it happens esp w early checkin? toilet seat that doesn't stay up for a pee gym-again its like a corporate hotel dismal. maybe turn the gym into a nice meditation room or a disco? read more

I can't get over how cozy the lobby is, makes you feel right at home when you walk in. Cute boutique hotel in a cool area, right by a lot of popular night clubs and nice restaurants but you can't hear any of the noise. You can hear the streets outside at night but the hotel does provide ear plugs next to each bed. Such a cute nautical theme and cool port hole windows in every single room. Rooms are small but cute and clean. The bathrooms are also clean/nice with good quality L'occitane shampoo/body wash products and shower head is excellent. The service was phenomenal, they went out of there way to really help us when needed and we received a free bottle of Chianti per room upon checking in which was a nice touch. Also free continental buffet in the mornings in the lobby which wasn't super extensive, but definitely enough options to make it worth while (yogurt, granola, fruit, croissants, muffins, cereal, coffee all day). Not to mention validated/discounted parking for the lot across the street which ended up being $43 per day. Overall excellent value and great hotel in a cool location! read more

The Maritime Hotel - Cozy lobby area with fireplace - Hotels Near Me - New York, New York

Solid experience. And there's something about the place that my review might not capture: it's not going to be the most luxurious place you've ever stayed, but there's something here, an unexpected intimacy that you don't feel very often in hotels. That's the reason that you're going to enjoy it here and probably the reason you'll come back. The rooms were well appointed with hair dryer, iron / board, shower necessities, toothpaste, bathrobes, glasses and a lovely selection of snacks and bar items. The sheets were dense and crisply pressed. Pillows are perfect. The velvet draperies are fully light blocking, There was a minimal amount of "light noise" from digital displays in the room. Thank you for that, Maritime Hotel! Lighting throughout the hotel is muted which I appreciated, and similarly, the noise level is very low: for instance, the elevator doesn't issue a loud, "DING!" when it lands on your floor. If you don't sleep well, and you're there on a weekend, you may indeed hear noise from the clubs below, Tao and Cabana at the Catch Steak House which seems to be hot. On the 3rd floor, I didn't so much hear the music as feel the pulse of the bass - kind of weird, I know. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ The lobby area is popular with guests, and it offered a lovely space to interact including a communal table area where people like to sit and read the paper (that's where you'll find copies of the Sunday NYTimes!). There is a happy hour with wine and beer, and you can also pass through into the Catch bar, and bring your cocktail back into the lobby. The guests comprised a diverse age range. Staff members are lovely. Location is great, one block to the E train, across from Chelsea market. Food recommendations: Walk over to the Cuban diner Coppelia for late lunch, and definitely get breakfast at JacksWifeFreda - if it's above 35, the outdoor seating under the heat lamps is very pleasant. :-) read more

I've stayed at both The Maritime and The Dream (in the building next door), and found The Maritime to be the worse of the two. The Maritime has a good location and we received good service - food deliveries were sent up to our room, we got help with our bags, and they were quick to fulfill requests for utensils/a kettle. However, the room itself was just OK. The decor wasn't particularly cute and I did not find the bed very comfortable. The bathroom also had several things that I found objectionable: (1) the tissues and toilet paper were bad quality, (2) the toilet lid ends up in an awkward not-quite-straight position when open, (3) the toilet flushing mechanism reminded me of a public toilet, and (4) the faucet was somewhat difficult to turn. We also had to go up a flight of stairs to get to the lobby, which was fine but not particularly accessible. Overall, I'd stay here if I didn't have any other reasonable options, but would generally rather stay elsewhere. I'd give it 3.5 stars mainly for the location and service. read more

Absolutely wonderful. Super-friendly staff from the moment we arrived, especially the bellman Alan. Cozy atmosphere in the long lobby, with a roaring fireplace and shelves stuffed with art books. Our room was small (understandable in Chelsea), but it was clean and comfortable. Good pillows on the bed. Plenty of hot water and water pressure in the shower. Even a pretty good view out the window . A nice all-around experience. read more

Great stay, great location. Hotel is across the street from Chelsea Market and 1 1/2 blocks from entrance to high line. Close to everything the Meatpacking district and Chelsea has to offer: great restaurants, rooftop bars, Whitney Museum.... Hotel staff was courteous, hotel was clean. Room was very well planned, small but very convenient, and not too small. Loved the round porthole window from the original old maritime building. Very nice complimentary breakfast served in the restaurant on main floor including, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit, granola ,fresh bagels/ pastries, cereal, oatmeal, coffee/ tea, juice. Only complaint is that there is construction on 16th street and consequently there was lots of honking into the wee hours of the morning of cars waiting to turn onto 16th due to clubs and restaurants on the street,which was disturbing. When we checked out we told the person at the front desk and she said " next time we can give you a 4 inch sound proofed board to put over your window"! Well that would have been nice to know ahead of time, since they are definitely aware of the problem! Also there is a parking lot across the street and you get a reduced rate of $38 for a 24 hour period for a standard car. You must have it validated, and it would have been helpful if at checkout the desk person had reminded us so we wouldn't have had to walk all the way back to get it stamped. Obviously we should have remembered, but it would have been helpful and I know generally the front desk is supposed to be helpful and proactive. Anyway, I would def stay here again. Such a fun area and the hotel was very nice, clean and convenient. Request a high floor! read more

Dreamy Stay I had booked a room for my anniversary July 20th. We were treated like royalty. Mike at the front desk upgraded us to the penthouse suite. It was beyond breathtaking. The rooms and halls were immaculate. The design was very cool with a 50's nautical club vibe. Later we were gifted a bottle of wine with a card wishing us a happy anniversary. The staff was very courteous and cheery. The views were beyond amazing as was the terrace. The area is close to Meatpacking and the West Village. Plenty of things to do and see. I would highly recommend the Maritime Hotel and their super staff. Can't wait to come back! read more

I've stayed all over the city and needed to be in Chelsea this past weekend. Great hotel. Not the best location or the fanciest rooms but every staff member I came in contact with was top notch. Even after a minor snafu I can't help but give them the highest of ratings. Clean room. Great pillows and classic NYC water pressure. read more

Swanky spot in a nice part of town located near plenty of things you need! Chelsea Market is a block or so away. Clubs and bars all around. I love the nautical theme and vibe. The portholes in the rooms are mega functional and aesthetic. They seal off all sound from outside, you honestly forget you're in the middle of the city. I wasn't a big fan of the breakfast. For the price of the stay, I had higher expectations and wanted mire options. Other than that, staff is prompt and attentive. Accommodations within the room are very nice. I particularly enjoyed the selection of magazines when I stayed (Early June). read more

Great boutique hotel in a cool part of town. Small rooms but such is the reality of boutique hotels in Manhattan; actually most hotels in Manhattan. Very nice service. Good housekeeping. Cozy lobby with fireplace and generally pleasant decor theme. Not much in terms of amenities but the value to style and service ratio is pretty decent. I like this hotel. Only drawback is that the corner that the lobby is steps away from is a seedy, gross and a little dangerous late at night. I was approached by drug dealers almost every evening I was out there after 10:00pm. Lots of drunk club goers and lots of expensive but low-class nighttime venues all around. So the crowd out there is unsavory. Aside from this fact I'd give another star. So don't bring the kids. If you're an easy going, tolerant and confident adult then it's a great option! read more

This is a great boutique hotel! It's attached to La Sirena restaurant (Mario Batali) and Tao nightclub. What's so good about it? Well, the bed was comfortable. The amenities in each room were better than the norm: terry robes, toothpaste, a scrubber to use with the shower gel they give you, a fully stocked bar with snacks, reading lights on both sides of the bed, earplugs, and probably the best shower ever - you turn it on and adjust the temperature without getting wet and the water pressure is decent. Oh, and the air conditioner comes on silently - whoa! The only reason I couldn't go 5 stars is because the street noise on a Saturday night was insane. If there was some way to soundproof the round window, I would be two thumbs way, way up. read more

Absolutely wonderful hotel. We could not have been happier with our stay here. It was our first trip to NYC, so I was nervous about choosing a good location. We loved the location here! It's a lovely area, very walkable to tons of restaurants and shops; with Chelsea Market just across the street from the hotel entrance, Little Island park just a couple blocks away, and an entrance to the High Line just down the street. The hotel was quiet, the rooms were very spacious for NYC, and the bathroom was also spacious with a large rainhead shower and good water pressure. Everything was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the decor was thoughtful- plenty of space to put things away and not overcrowded. Service was prompt every time we asked for something. I appreciate that they brought us a tea kettle and selection of teas for our room since we don't drink coffee. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was a nice bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel and we look forward to our next stay! read more

Interesting theme which compliments the small rooms. Great location on the west side and easy walking to the Highline. Docked a star because everything in the room is charged, even a bottle of water. Also the bed and pillows are soft - so be warned if you need more firmness. read more
