Lamartine Chelsea

Location was amazing since I was going to a concert at Madison Square Garden - only 5 minutes walk away! Also very close to various subway lines and the Empire State Building. There is someone on the desk 24 hours a day, which makes the accommodation feel extra safe, and it's reassuring to always have someone on hand. The bed was comfy, I was in Rm 1C and it was quiet - I had seen reviews that mentioned road noise but I didn't hear that from my room. Shared bathrooms were well maintained and clean and I didn't have any problems finding an empty one; usually the nearest one was free. Really nice and handy lounge/kitchen area, nice to meet some other visitors; a very friendly vibe.

Everything was fine, it was a little pricey for what it was (compared to the UK) but I booked fairly late and price is probably driven a little by what is on at MSG/demand in the area. It was pretty cool to be able to walk home in 5 mins after leaving the concert!

It was clean and comfortable. Bed soft not stiff like most motels. Quaint met my needs

No fault to the establishment but coming right in to a full toilet cause my neighbor didn't flush. The city noise and the trash build up outside by neighbors

Wonderful location, very convenient to the subway. The staff was absolutely amazing, so attentive and friendly. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe here and had so much fun. I would recommend bringing a white noise machine if you are a light sleeper because it is very quiet at the property so I could hear some movement if I didn’t have my noise machine running. I was given a room on the fifth floor and that was really convenient because the kitchens are on the fourth and fifth floor so even though it was a trek up the stairs, it was great to have the convenience of the kitchen right next to me. The bathrooms were always really clean, super clean shower. I would absolutely recommend staying here and I will absolutely come back.

I don’t think I have any real complaints because this is an old building so understandably wood floors are a little squeaky and hollow so it’s easy to hear people move about, and I know they have to be attentive about checking the rooms and cleaning up, but the doors to the rooms kind of slam, and sometimes it was a little bit loud in the morning, almost every morning, when housekeeping would be moving through the building. Maybe there’s a way to remedy that with adding some kind of weatherstripping to the doors to the rooms so they don’t shut so hard. Honestly, this is literally the only thing I could think of and it wasn’t really a big deal because using a White Noise machine pretty much masked the sound effectively.

Friendly staff. Clean Bathrooms

Very small rooms. Missing Cuttlery in the kitchen
