A little oasis
I stayed at the GEM for one night during a business trip. The room was great - it even had a view of the Empire State Building. The staff was wonderful. The entire hotel - lobby, hallways, rooms - had a very soothing feel to it. Once you stepped in, you stepped out of the NYC craze, and that was really nice. I expected a very small room based on other reviews and while it was small, it wasn't any smaller than any other hotel I've stayed in in New York. The neighborhood was fantastic. I wish I'd had more time to enjoy it. I would definitely stay here again.

mini-room
The hotel itself seemed secure and lobby and services were professional. However, the room seemed made for a midget. The room was much too small and the shelf-sized desk, wardrobe closet and amenities were squeezed into the space. There was no bathtub-only a shower and the hair dryer was hanging in a labeled bag from the bathroom wall. I felt lucky this was a short stay.

well-located, clean, & safe
GEM Hotel was modern, clean, and well-located. The lobby's dark and the room's are small (but who cares, really?) just pack your conditioner - the hotel only supplies a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner.

Weekend Get-A-Way
GEM in NY
Small but adequate room. Wonderful location. Easy on street parking in the area, no need to pay for garage parking over the weekend. Very good deal for the price.

Walter, traveler
NYC for Christmas 2010
The hotel is very clean and nice. Perfect for a single person traveling. The rooms are small but for just sleeping while enjoying the city it was perfect. Price was excellent. Location was great, one block for the subway, made it easy to get around the city. Went to the Guggenheim, saw some Broadway and Off-Broadway Shows. Caught a holiday cabaret show. Dinner with friends in the city. Overall a great 4 day stay.

Small nice hotel
I went on a trip to visit some friends and I found that the hotel was perfect. The rooms are small but I didn't need more, because I was there only to sleep. If you plan on spending more time in the room then I don't think that this could be an option. They are very clean and well decorated.

Great Value and Location
In NYC, you can expect small hotel rooms so I was not disappointed by that aspect of the hotel. The room was very clea, check-in was easy, and the hotel is in a great location in Chelsea near good restaurants and nightlife. The room rate is excellent for NYC so the value is a big plus.
