I am currently staying at this hotel

I am afraid that the previous comments are fully accurate
the rooms are VERY small!!!
the closet is so small that you cannot hang your clothes
no safe, no in room minibar
there is no bathtub but only a shower
you cannot open the door of the bathroom and use at the same time the - tiny - sink
the isolation is very poor (you can perfectly hear any conversation in the corridor or room door closing from your door)
The lift is REALLY an issue: you have to wait wait and wait to go ou or down
Reception is so small (without any Elite PC line) that you may wait quite a long time for check in or check out
the air conditioning is very noisy

I am very surprised that this hotel got the new Holiday Inn label
By the size of the rooms and the amenities, it is definitely more a Holiday Inn Express (except that breakfast in not free...)

Location is very good to visit art galleries at West Chelsea or around Bowery street
Large flat TV screen with cable networks (but not any European TV)
Free wireless internet in the room

I have got this hotel for 15,000 points, so it is OK. But I would not stay in this property again
