I enjoyed the location and charm of the hotel. The walls are paper-thin and our room off the lobby was a bit noisy...particularly on one night when the lobby TV was left playing. Woke me up at 2:30 and I had to unplug it from the wall because the remote control was not in sight.

The property is above a speakeasy. YOU WILL BE UP ALL NIGHT. The property manager brought me some earplugs. Very clean and quaint - but the noise is way too loud and much. Also, it is by a school and walls are thin.

Affordable and quaint

Small room but worked great for a quick weekend trip. Be prepared to share bathrooms with another room, otherwise affordable and in cute Chelsea neighborhood.
