Chelsea Pet-friendly IHG hotels in New York, New York

We stayed for 2 nights. The hotel was easily accessible to the theater district and to Chelsea. It was a short walk to the hi-line. The restaurant was an added plus. The price was excellent. The rooms had been recently remodeled and we well done.

I booked at the last minute when the recent snow storm stranded me before I could fly from La Guardia. I got a great deal via Expedia by booking a three-star hotel name unknown--it turned out to be an amazing bargain because my hotel room was comfortable, the staff was uniformly friendly and accommodating, and I had everything I needed to make two-day stay productive. I had brought sandwiches to the hotel to save money and when I asked to pay for a refrigerator to store them, they graciously--and quickly--had one brought to the room without charge. This was typical of the staff's consideration. Late Monday, the first evening of the Nor'easter, the manager had a leaflet printed and placed under everyone's door regarding the storm. I assumed it would be to apologize for reduced services; quite the contrary, the leaflet assured us, item by item, that the hotel would maintain the same standards of service despite the storm. As an example, in anticipation of the storm, the hotel had overstocked supplies of food in order to serve the same complimentary breakfasts (which were fine) as before. I've been to hotels with larger rooms and more elaborate furnishings, but in terms of value for the money, I was overjoyed with the Holiday Inn Express in Manhattan.

Friendly staff, great location to alot of attractions, bars, restaurants & subway stops. Clean room, good price, only downside was room size was a little small but it was good if you are only staying a few nights/don't need to be in the room for long periods of time.
