Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan/Chelsea

If you’re looking for a hotel that’s conveniently located within walking distance of pretty much anything worth seeing, Courtyard New York Manhattan/Chelsea is your spot. Seriously, you could stumble out of bed and find yourself at a landmark. And by “stumble,” I mean maneuver around the miniature maze that is your room.

Yes, the rooms are small—about the size of a Manhattan studio apartment, minus the rent control. Think cozy, but make it New York. The bathroom sink is the epitome of space-saving design: no counter space whatsoever! So, you’ll master the art of balancing your toiletries on the edge of the sink while brushing your teeth, applying makeup, and holding your towel—multitasking at its finest.

And let’s talk about the closet. Oh wait, there isn’t one. Your clothes will have to settle for the suitcase life, draped over furniture, or folded like origami to fit in the drawer.

All in all, it’s a quintessential New York experience: compact, a bit chaotic, but worth it for the location. Just be prepared to live out of your suitcase and get creative with your toiletries!
