The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express New York City Chelsea

Steps from the Stage: Your Midtown NYC Base

Modern and convenient, the Holiday Inn Express New York City Chelsea places you right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. This 3-star hotel offers a clean, comfortable stay just a few minutes’ walk from iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and The High Line. With a relaxed atmosphere and friendly multilingual staff, it’s an easy choice for music fans looking to stay close to the action without the chaos.

Why Concert-goers love it

One word: location. Being just a 4-minute walk from Penn Station, this hotel is a dream for anyone catching a show at MSG or nearby venues. You can stroll to the venue, skip the cabs, and be back in your room before the encore fades. Despite the central location, guests report surprisingly quiet rooms—ideal for winding down after a high-energy night. With express check-in and check-out, you can keep your plans flexible, and the 24-hour front desk means someone’s always there, no matter how late your night runs.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a central, walkable stay
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples planning a city concert weekend
  • Fans who value a quieter space post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value in Midtown

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you'll find plenty of late-night bites just steps away in Chelsea and Koreatown. The hotel provides a daily buffet or continental breakfast—perfect if you’re recovering from a late night. There’s also a shared lounge and terrace where you can relax with snacks or drinks you bring back. Though there’s no room service, the front desk staff is happy to recommend nearby 24/7 spots.

Nightlife Options

You're in the heart of it all. From low-key wine bars in Chelsea to bustling clubs in the Flatiron District, there’s something for every post-show vibe. While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, its proximity to countless nightlife spots makes it a great home base after the concert.

What People Say

Guests love the prime location near MSG and Penn Station, the helpful multilingual staff, and the free breakfast. Reviewers frequently mention that the rooms are clean and comfortable, with just enough space and quiet to feel like a retreat after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms are a bit on the smaller side—typical for NYC. The elevators can be a little slow during peak times, especially after events. But for most, these are minor trade-offs for the unbeatable location.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a no-fuss, centrally located hotel with great access to venues and public transport, Holiday Inn Express New York City Chelsea hits the right note.

Staff was great, it was...

Disliked: Everything was… fine. But just fine. Our room was right by the elevator and there was zero soundproofing. We could hear people’s conversations they were having at normal volumes.

Overall, a good hotel for...

Liked: Location was near where we needed to go to. Room was good and comfortable for two people. Liked recycling inside the room.
Disliked: No fridge or microwave in the room. Walls were a little thin; we could hear people talk outside from inside our room, but it’s okay since it didn’t bother me from sleeping.

Quiet location, central enough -that’s...

Liked: It was quiet. Non smoking. Just okay
Disliked: I have stayed 3 nights over Easter weekend. I decided to not have housekeeping done after the first night- the next morning. Instead I wanted to request just two bath towels. I didn’t think it was going to be a problem in a hotel. I was told everyone was home so late - 9 pm and this is not front desk department to worry about. So we never got any that night. I decided to have cleaning done the next morning ( after two nights) so that I got a couple extra towels. But they only gave me two hand towels and took others. I have never stayed at any property where towels could be a problem after normal cleaning hours 9-4 pm. This is a hotel! When we checked in our carpet was dirty it had crumbles and some junk all over. It just didn’t feel clean. Our bedding was not clean on the night of checking in. We have stayed over the weekend so this wasn’t necessarily a “good value”hotel for us it was still pretty high price considering the options and the situation. . Breakfast can only accommodate about 20 people max at a time. The hotel may have 14 floors with over 200 rooms…just FYI. I read people’s reviews before booking a hotel on this platform. Reviews help make better decisions. I didn’t come to NYC for a friendly above and beyond hotel staff. But some nights people cared and enjoyed their job duties a little more on other nights they cared less. That’s all.
