Chelsea Inn

For the budget conscious traveler who values a hotel for its location and personality, The Chelsea Inn is the perfect choice. Ideally located just off of Fifth Avenue, in the heart of Manhattan's up-and-coming Flatiron neighborhood, this fun and funky four-story walkup is just a few blocks away from Greenwich Village, the lower Fifth Avenue shopping district, and dozens of great restaurants and clubs. For the athletic-minded, the nearby Chelsea Piers offers a full-range of activities, including basketball, water sports, ice skating, rock climbing, golf and more.

While the hotel's country-style quilts and antique-style furniture might remind you of your grandmother's home, you'll still have access to the full range of today's amenities, including air conditioned rooms, wireless Internet access (with a slight surcharge), cable/satellite TV, in-room safes, and kitchenettes with small refrigerators and coffee makers. Select guestrooms overlook a European-style courtyard, and guests also receive a free continental breakfast from the coffee shop adjacent to the hotel. For an added touch of style (or kitsch, if you prefer), the bathrooms feature murals designed by art students at Yale and Parsons School of Design. Featured in the most recent edition of "New York's 100 Best Little Hotels," The Chelsea Inn features everything a traveler will need at prices most everyone can afford.
