Pros of the Chelsea Savoy: Clean, good-sized rooms. Our room was very quiet (was not facing the street). Very affordable for NYC with no creepy bed bugs, mold, extra small rooms, etc. Has nice amenities such as a flat screen TV, hair dryer, ipod docking station, etc. In a good location, lots of subway stations close by. Some fun places to check out close by including a great place called Eataly and the flatiron district. 20 minute walk to Times Square. There is also coffee and bagels/rolls every morning. I would stay there again.

Cons of the Chelsea Savoy: Thin blankets, it was cold at night. When we asked for extra blankets, they brough extra comforters, not actual thermal blankets. Hit and miss staff. We had a flight leaving at 6:00 pm, I called and asked the front desk if they could arrange a car to pick us up. The person I talked to was very unhelpful as far as what time the car should arrive (he kept asking me what time we wanted to leave and I told him I didn't know, that our flight was at 6:00, asked him what did he suggest). He was also very unclear on the cost of the car. He told me one thing over the phone, when we got back to the hotel to wait for the car, we asked to confirm the price again and he called the company. They told him one price, when the car arrived, the driver said another price. The driver/front desk then seemed to get into an argument. It was very...odd. I guess I would think/hope that the front desk of a hotel would be more knowledgeable about things like airport transportation.

We had four to the room (to keep New York hotel costs somewhat reasonable) and it held us well though I wouldn't call the room spacious. We had a room on the inside and away from the sound of traffic and had great sleep every night. They have complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning (I liked the chewy bagels). If that is you fancy a Starbucks one is just across the road and a grocery store is less than half a block away.

The best part of the hotel is it is relatively close to the three subway lines with one right at the hotels location so it is easy to get to all parts of Manhattan including Times Square to the north and the Financial District to the south.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Don’t expect this to be the best hotel you have ever stayed in, but for its location and price range, it will get you a good sleep and off on the road to the many sites of New York.

I stayed in this hotel twice, and it really was what I needed: close to a number of a subway lines, a nice confy bed and a spacious room (which is very uncommon in Manhattan). The staff were friendly and helpful all time, and let me storage my luggage after check out at on extra charge. The location was very good, with nice restaurants on walking distance.
I have to say that this is not a fancy or charming hotel, but it is very convenient, and with a very reasonable price compared to others of the same price. Besides, in Manhattan, you need location, some space, and a bed to crash...the city will provide the rest!

My partner and I stayed at the Chelsea Savoy from 27 October - 2 November. The best thing going for the hotel is the location: in the middle of Chelsea and close to a number of subway lines. Check-in and check-out were fine but the staff can generally be described as surly and dis-interested. The room itself was reasonably sized by NY standards (read: small but not tiny) and clean-ish. Wifi is available via an external provider but is expensive (ie. $35 for 5 days) and restrictive (one device only at any one time).
