The Spotlight on Chelsea Rooms NYC

Affordable Comfort Steps from the Stage

Modern and minimalist, Chelsea Rooms NYC offers an unbeatable location in the heart of Manhattan’s Chelsea district. Just a 3-minute walk to Penn Station and only 400 yards from Madison Square Garden, this 2-star hotel keeps you close to the action without the high price tag. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and a low-key atmosphere, it’s a smart base for music fans exploring New York City.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—less than 5 minutes on foot to Madison Square Garden, and close to subway lines for late-night travel. The hotel’s concierge service is helpful for navigating the city, while the simple setup means you’ll have a quiet place to crash after the show. With a 1:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, there's flexibility for early arrivals or a slow morning after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends needing a central, affordable stay
- Solo travelers catching a dream show at MSG
- Couples on a weekend concert getaway
- Fans who want a quiet place to rest after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want to stay close to the venues

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, a vegetarian breakfast is available in the morning—perfect for a light bite after a late night. Plus, being in Chelsea means you’re surrounded by walkable dining options, from 24/7 diners to trendy late-night spots. Though room service isn’t available, there’s no shortage of food just steps away.

Nightlife Options

The hotel doesn’t have its own bar or music venue, but you’re in one of NYC’s liveliest neighborhoods. Bars, lounges, and live music venues are within walking distance, so you can easily continue the night after the show. Whether you’re into jazz clubs, rooftop bars, or low-key pubs, you’ll find a spot nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the prime location near MSG and Penn Station, calling it ideal for catching concerts or late-night events. Many highlight the cleanliness, value, and friendly staff as standout features, especially for the price point. Travelers often say it’s a no-frills but comfortable choice when the city’s calling.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel has shared bathrooms, which might not be ideal for everyone—though most guests say they’re well-maintained. Rooms are small and simple, so don’t expect luxury, but it’s perfect if your focus is on the show, not the sheets.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay just steps from major NYC concert venues, Chelsea Rooms NYC hits the right note.

Good for short term stays!

Liked: Great staff, comfy beds and good basic breakfast!
Disliked: Not the best location for female solo traveler at night. Also not good insulation of windows if you get a room towards the street (hotel only has level 1-3 -> so close to street)

One word…awful.

Liked: Don’t ever stay here. Absolutely a total shit hole. Better off sleeping with the homeless
Disliked: Room was the size of a shoebox, no AC, a tweaker all messed up on meth walking in and out of his room until 4am. Do the math.

Good location, clean and friendly...

Liked: The location is excellent for seeing NYC on a budget. The rooms were a little small but you have to expect that given it is in central Manhattan. The staff were really helpful. It was very clean and the shared shower and toilets were kept very clean. I would use again.

Disappointing

Liked: Complimentary breakfast was lovely. Staff were super helpful wherever possible. The location was great for our activities the next day.
Disliked: The air conditioning was broken, so the room was very hot and humid all night. Everything was too cramped.

Good!

Liked: I like throw the property was close to the Amtrak station and close to the Mta stations. the staff was nice! just glad there was a shower to clean up after a long day of walking manhattan and brooklyn/queens. There was a fridge in the room and the office had a microwave.

Awesome location for the price!!...

Liked: Staff was extra friendly and made sure we understood everything. I even had a mixup on my credit card information a couple days before, and they contacted me right away instead of just cancelling my booking. Love that my deluxe room had a fridge. The breakfast is small, but the atmosphere that comes with it is amazing. I met people from all walks of life. The location was awesome as it is only a couple blocks from MSG and Penn Station/Amtrak so we could walk to it from when our train arrived. Location is nice as you are pretty close by to alot subway terminals to get you wherever you need to go. Empire state building was walkable also. Bathrooms/showers SUPER CLEAN!!!
Disliked: No tvs in the rooms(i knew they didnt have one, but i think it would help to drown out the street noise). The bathrooms are small, but they are usable and I'm 5'10". Steps are a little steep, but climbable, and I smoke cigarettes. Which also you have to go outside to smoke.
