We included a package deal at The Gem's Chelsea location in today's Real Deal from $159 per room per night, noting that rates at this (Chelsea) location will jump by about $100 in February.
With rates as low as $139 at most of its locations, the chain could get away with offering minimal amenities, but it actually does just the opposite. Instead of charging guests for things like bottled water, high-speed Internet, and shoe shines (yes, shoe shines!), Gem gives them away for free. And it doesn't skimp on quality, either. The pillows are down, the in-room coffee is Wolfgang Puck, and the bath products are Gilchrist & Soames (a fancy British brand).
Another fun detail: One of the goals of The Gem Hotel is to become a part of the community, so it offers deals that feature local establishments. For example, the Soho location has a Katz's Delicatessen Pastrami Package (1 room, 2 pastrami sandwiches from Katz's) and a Sunshine Movie Theater Package (1 room, 2 passes to Sunshine Movie Theater). And rumor has it the staff is looking into volunteering with local organizations—another cool way of supporting the community.

Stayed at the Gem last summer. Teeny, tiny rooms and the hotels is blocks away from anything except parking lots. Not near anything. If you want to stay in a comfy room for little money it's great. But once you're there there isn't anywhere else to walk to nearby.

If you are looking for effective volume pills then you will know that these pills work by giving you a better and more satisfying sex life. They do this by increasing the hormone levels in your body and they also increase the circulation and blood flow to the penis. In doing this these pills also give you solid erections and increase the length of time that your erection lasts too. This is great for anyone that suffers from premature ejaculation. If this is the case then you really should look for pills with pomegranate.

I believe that avoiding highly processed foods will be the first step for you to lose weight. They might taste great, but refined foods have very little nutritional value, making you feed on more only to have enough vigor to get through the day. If you're constantly ingesting these foods, changing to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more electricity while eating less. Good blog post.
