Marlene must’ve slapped Andrew Tilley down after he said he wanted to put an I-pod docking station in every room, because it seems he’s no longer allowed to talk to the press.  Marlene herself is shouldering that burden these days, and she reveals her true colors in a Guardian article when she reminds us that this is a business and she’d like to make more money.  Additionally, she continues to air her fixation with dirt when she says she cleaned this place up.  Looks about the same to us.  She also claims that the service is better which despite the fact that there are twice as many people on staff now is just not the case.  Clearly, Marlene Krauss doesn’t stop by the Chelsea Hotel very often.  Oh, (like Born & Drukier) she is also being a bit disingenuous when she says that the only tenants forced out were those who weren’t paying their rent.  The reason they couldn’t pay their rent was because she doubled or tripled the amount of their monthly payment.   — Ed Hamilton

    someone wise once said ‘its better to be smart than to be right’.
    not bad advice, marlene.
    we’d all be very grateful if you’d just play nice and just bring back the bards for christmas.

    She is destined to be at the center of unpleasant controversy until she brings back the Bards, and worse the longer this continues.

    Yes, point proven Ms. Krauss. You have lawyers, we understand. You’re as bad as Bush with all the resources you are wasting on fighting a basically unwinnable fight

    If by “better service” she means glazed looks from new-hires who don’t know tenants from rabbits in a hat and shabby looking security guards who further inflate the payroll and are usually napping after 9pm then sure, the service is better.
    Not to take anything away from you Marlene, the floors are remarkably clean.

    Can’t recall when I’ve ever heard somebody say they were staying at the Chelsea because it was well mopped.
