HILTON GARDEN INN NEW YORK/MANHATTAN-CHELSEA, New York

The hotel sits on 28th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, surrounded by flower shops that create a pleasant atmosphere. The subway entrance at the end of the block provides easy access to yellow, red, and orange lines, making it simple to reach any part of Manhattan. Penn Station is a 10-minute walk away, and LaGuardia is the closest airport. The neighbourhood is lively with many restaurants, including Ajisen Ramen, 230 Fifth rooftop, and others within a few blocks. Despite being central, the street retains a quieter, charming feel compared to busier areas.

All 169 rooms feature air conditioning, heating, ironing facilities, and a hairdryer. Choose from king, double, or two-queen bed configurations; two-queen rooms average 234 sqft. Most rooms include a bathtub, while accessible rooms have roll-in showers. Higher-floor rooms offer city views. Beds are comfortable, though some mattresses may feel soft. Noise levels vary: rooms facing the street can hear traffic, while back-facing rooms are quieter. The hotel shows some signs of wear such as stained carpets and scuffed doors, but cleanliness is maintained. Note that only two elevators serve 23 floors, so wait times can occur, especially during peak hours.

The hot buffet adds scrambled eggs, bacon, and other warm items. A small market in the lobby offers snacks and drinks for purchase. Free coffee and tea are provided in the lobby each morning.
