Another Good Hotel Indigo Experience
I've been to the Hotel Indigo in the Gaslamp District in San Diego and had a great experience. This hotel can't match the same experience as the San Diego site for many reasons, but at least the rooms and the service were on par. This hotel doesn't have much to offer. It's located in sort of a no-mans area not fitting into any real neighborhood (yes it's in the one block Flower District, but that doesn't get you much). This simply is a good "centralized" location to get to other places and yes, you are within walking distance of the Chelsea area and all the restaurants that go with it (walk over to 7th/8th Avenues and walk down for 10 blocks and you'll see). The subway is right on the corner of 7th and 28th, so go below and buy yourself a Metrocard from the vending machine and away you go. For breakfast walk over to 8th Avenue and 25th Street to the Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Cafe. General warning: At night the area gets a little "gritty", but not scary. So use proper caution. Also, note that there are a number of other hotels in this general area.
