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.

Cute and clean little room but no amenities to speak of. Also be aware that there is no elevator, just narrow staircases. Fine if you are only staying a night or two. Would be tough with a full sized suitcase or more than one bag. There was a lot of street noise (construction, banging, yelling) at all hours of the night. Was actually quieter during the day (maybe bc there’s a school next door?).
