A wonderful place to stay.
My wife and I stayed at the Chelsea Pines in August, 2012. The staff were excellent, the breakfast and other amenities were very nice, and you cannot beat the location. We received some excellent recommendations on theatre, places to drink and eat and directions from Jay, who basically knows everything there is to know about those topics! He is a complete gentleman. Like every hotel in NYC, it's a bit noisy when you have a street front room, but that simply can't be avoided unless you stay further away from the action I suppose.
We will definitely stay here again.
