Grumpy Old Bookman doubts that this blog is a labor of love created by a part-time amateur. He is giving the Hotel Chelsea management team way too much credit. No one has ever accused the hotel's managers of doing anything in a professional manner. If this was a corporate blog there would be absolutely no mention of cockroaches.
Eating my words. Shortly after I made the above post I found a blogger who had something nice to say about management. "So I called the Chelsea Hotel and spoke to the manager who found him a room; I love the hotel managers of NY, they always have that air of exasperated efficiency and always manage to fit you in somehow."
