The Gem Hotel Chelsea For $159 a Night

Where: 300 W. 22nd Street [map], Manhattan, ny, United States, 10011

Hotel rates in NYC are pretty low right now (well, if you're comparing 'em to the holiday seasons of yesteryear, anyway), but if you're looking to score a mega bargain in Manhattan and you also prefer your carpets new and your beds barely slept-in, we'd like to remind you that you've got a new Manhattan option that is offering an excellent opening rate: the GEM Hotel Chelsea.

The GEM, which first opened back in November, is still offering opening rates that start at $159 until February 28th. This is actually down a bit from the initial opening rate of $189 a night.

The lowdown on GEM: it's a Choice Hotels Ascend Collection branded property located on 22nd Street and it boasts a pretty hefty roster of free amenities (for the price), including nightly turndown, iPod docking stations, free Internet and paraban-free Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. It's bright, clean, happy and cheap (although maybe a tad cramped). Check it out here.
