I used to live in NY & I now travel there from CA for work. I inherently love staying in all of NY's old hotels but just like Chicago they are all getting remodeled. I stayed there cuz they filmed a few sences for "The Royal Tenenbaums" it was nothing special but good enough if you are just using the room to sleep & shower. Just like The Chelsea, I won't be staying in it after the remodel. I usually stay w/ friends but when I need working time, I love to stay in hotels like these.
