Hilton Garden Inn New York/Manhattan-Chelsea

Step outside the lobby to find sidewalks lined with plants and flowers. Inside, the property features a fitness room and an American restaurant, run by an outstanding staff. While rooms are small, they are clean and well-kept. The trade-off comes in the details: guests report noticeable wear and tear, including stained carpets, narrow hallways, and a dated feel. Practical challenges include slow elevators and shower temperatures that fluctuate between ice cold and hot.
