Hotel's Favorite
We recently chose Motto for an overnight in NYC and were so glad we did. Our stay started off with a warm and friendly greeting from the staff at the front desk. Check in was easy and efficient. We found our room to be clean and comfortable- brand new! Quite beautiful. The view from our room as the sun was setting was spectacular! After an evening at the theatre ( highly recommend The Music Man!), the bar was open for a night cap. Breakfast was fresh and delicious served by more friendly staff. Our overall experience was exceptional! We’ll be back

I travel a lot - and I am in general very flexible and easy with hotels. This was honestly one of worst hotel experiences I had - unfriendly staff, no room cleaning for 3 days in a row (even though I asked for cleaning 4 times), awful breakfast - neighborhood is nice - but price and service really not worth it

The rooms are two small for the price that you pay. There are better hotel options available for that price. The air conditioning was very noisy all night long when it would turn on and off to keep the room temperature. There is no coffee machine in the room to prepare early in the morning. Also, no essentials available like Q tips. Overall, I was not too impressed with the hotel. The lobby area, restaurant and hotel are nice, although I didn’t have any meals there.

I have just returned home after a five day stay in New York with my wife and son. We chose the Motto because of the amazing reviews here on TripAdvisor and I have to say we were not disappointed. The room was cleverly appointed to suit all of us and everything in the hotel is spotlessly, clean and modern. The staff are so helpful and cannot do enough to help you. An added bonus was the terrace on the street where we had our breakfast and coffee every morning, watching the passers by and watching life go by. The hotel is in a very convenient area of Manhattan equidistant between the financial district and the world trades centre, and also in the other direction, 5th Avenue, and Central Park. Cannot price it enough, we will definitely be back

I did not believe the overwhelming 5-star reviews for this property, which is in my favorite area of NYC, so had to see for myself. Overall, Motto fulfilled the promise: the room (I had a "wall bed" room) is small but very thoughtfully designed with ample storage space; bed is extremely comfortable; public spaces are welcoming; and hotel staff are friendly and extremely helpful. A couple of watch-outs: the $30/day "resort fee" is annoying, and the single-use plastic bottles of water (seriously?!) and $10/day restaurant coupons offered to offset this charge are not helpful; simply adding the $30 to the room price would be more honest. Also, the breakfast was disappointing - I wanted oatmeal and got a bowl of chocolately glue, meant to be fancy and original I'm sure, but def not breakfast food!! The front patio is lovely and the staff there are friendly, but service is often slow. Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives - I would definitely stay here again.…

This is a great Chelsea hotel. It’s on a quieter street so you aren’t listening to avenue traffic while staying there. The front desk staff are top notch, with seasoned and expert customer service. From the first interaction with them, Ina, Kareem and Caesar set the standard for customer service. The room is “New York” sized, but it’s got a great bed, solid pillows, good linens and a good shower. Most importantly, the HVAC unit is in the ceiling by the entrance. This means that the noise from this unit is practically non existent, leading to a very quiet room by New York standards. Anyone who has had the under the window noisemaker HVAC will appreciate this. Everything is modern and well maintained. And though this is a larger hotel, they have 4 modern, large and fast elevators, so you never wait long to get one! (something lacking in other hotels) Lastly, Lulla's, the in-house restaurant and lounge serves stunning food. All the meals there were delicious and exceptionally well prepared. The quality transcended “hotel restaurant” fare and was next level. Like WOW.. A few nights in the lounge section, they had live jazz music! (for free) Such a sweet to wind down in a chill atmosphere with a killer drink after a day in the big city. So between the front desk staff, the restaurant and the super quiet room, a definite win. (Now for some photos of the food lol…)…

We booked the bunk bed room for a short four-day holiday. Despite being a small room, it worked surprisingly well for a family of four. Yes, apart from a dresser and two drawers under the bottom bunk beds, there is little room for storing clothes, so you probably end up keeping most things unpacked. The room was clean and kept spotless throughout our stay. Front desk staff was courteous and eager to help at all times and the vibe in the lobby was welcoming and vibrant, particularly in the evenings. Breakfast was not included and a bit pricey, but of high quality (the regular coffee was in fact rather decent). The view wasn't much to write home about, but that is not uncommon for rooms at lower floors in NYC. What would otherwise have been a wonderful stay was sullied by the compulsory destination charge of USD 30/night and room which is slapped on top of your bill. Granted, you get certain "benefits" such as two bottles of water and a 10 USD coupon per night to be used in the bar or restaurant. It is not only annoying but frankly, an insult. It is cheap way of creating additional revenue without giving customers a choice; it cannot even be called upselling. You would at least expect guests to choose how to spend the 30 USD and at least be given as many water bottles as the number of beds in the room. It just felt cheap and greedy and is the only reason we won't consider this hotel for any future trips to New York. Classic example of corporate shortsightedness. …

Very, very cool hotel with amazing staff. Very clean. We stayed 2 nights. Ended up eating dinner the second night at the hotel bar/restaurant because our lunch was so delicious and the ambiance was even better. Outside seating with entertainment. I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend.

The Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea was highly recommended by my sister, who had stayed here earlier in the year. It did not disappoint. The staff were extremely helpful and charming to work with in getting my room and finding places I wanted to visit. The views from my room have to be one of the best in New York City. We were able to have brunch outside at the restaurant, and the weather and staff were amazing. The rooms are small because it is New York, but they are set up nicely, and the beds were perfect for a good night sleep. I loved staying here, and now that my daughter will be in school at NYU, this will be my new spot when I come to visit. I highly recommend this hotel.
