Is the Chelsea Savoy a good hotel? If not can someone recommend one? -

I m going to New York a few days before Christmas. I m looking a decent hotel and by decent I mean clean and not in a horrific neighborhood. Obviously, I don t want to break the bank in terms of cost. If this isn t worthwhile, can someone recomment a hotel that is?

I have heard some good things about the place, but I can tell you that it is in good location. It is more of a neighborhood than most hotels and as such you have conveniences like grocery stores and drug stores. You can walk to places like the Empire State Building a half mile away. Times Square is another half mile. Rockefeller center, another half, Central park, another half. Of course you also have easy access to the world s greatest metropolitan transportation system.A half mile in the other direction will put you in Greenwich Village where they have lots of shops and lots of interesting restaurants.
