The Gem Hotel - Chelsea at 300 West 22nd Street, New York, New York.

Cozy, quaint and caters to the minimalist. Welcoming lobby. Friendly and accommodating staff. Affordable, but beware, you get what you pay for. Rooms tiny at 125 sq ft. (larger rooms not much bigger). Room was generally clean with some areas overlooked. Smaller queen rooms have tub-less standing showers. Bathroom sink was clogged and shower drain was slow. Queen bed was DEAD. Possibly on the wrong type of frame, it sunk badly in the center resulting in a very uncomfortable rest. Doors and walls are thin and rooms are close, so you will hear neighboring patrons, especially in the tight hallways. The Gem is "100% smoke free", unless you skip the elevator and opt for the stairs— that staircase is a chimney.
