Fodor's Review:

Charming and friendly innkeepers Annette and Barry Fisherman will welcome you to this five-floor, 19th-century building in the heart of Chelsea. They took care to make each guest room spacious and unique. One exotic and elegant room is outfitted in bamboo, another in the art moderne style of the 1940s. Although it's small and homey, the inn provides private baths and satellite TV in all rooms. Dorothy, the house cat, is very friendly, and has an endearing quirk: she loves to ride the elevator. A big continental breakfast is cooked daily by famous-chefs-to-be: members of New School University's culinary program, who use the kitchen in the mornings as a laboratory. If you're a B&B person, you've found your New York retreat. Pros: charming innkeepers; comfy and relaxed library; affordable for location. Cons: few services for businesspeople; some older amenities; beware if you have cat allergies.

Reviewed by Robandliz from Co Wicklow, Ireland on 8/9/09
Just a stone’s throw from the famous Chelsea Hotel the Inn on 23rd is hard to fault. Where do we start? We were welcomed by Thomas, one of three helpful staff, all of whom were a mine of information about everything New York. We started our day with a visit to the Inn’s first-floor breakfast room. As well as a delicious buffet breakfast, served in the Library, we were free to browse the mind-boggling variety of travel books on the city a great selection of mags and newspapers. Getting our ‘bearings’ we discovered that we were a mere 5 minute walk from the Empire State Building and 15 minutes from Time Square. Each of the rooms is themed, ours, located on the 3rd floor was the the Bamboo. Dorothy, the Inn’s beautiful cat who gave us a quizzical welcome and promptly went back to sleep was just one of ‘touches’ that are a rarity today. I must mention the trouble-free, complimentary Wifi that let us stay in touch. A great lodgings in a great city!
