Pleasant stay in a great neighborhood.

We enjoyed our time there. The place was convenient to shopping and restaurants. It was very clean even the halls, the elevator, and the stairwell. We felt safe.

The bathroom had swarm of ants, I mean dozens of ants. We went to the front desk and showed an employee a video of the ants. He said sorry about that and went about his business. My wife and I literally stood there with our luggage for nearly ten minutes before I asked him what could be done. He said he couldn’t do anything for us since we made the reservation through a third party. I then asked why he didn’t say anything to us and let us stand there for ten minutes without any communication, and he remained quiet. I told him he didn’t even offer us a credit or new room, and his response was “you didn’t ask”. All we did was tell him about a serious ant issue, and he showed no concern. This was extremely poor customer service.

Parking was tight, Room was fine and honestly bathroom was outdated and gross. We stayed less than 12 hours (early flight out) so barely used the full accommodations. Would not stay again.

The property was like a motel with a walk up window to check in at night. Was just OK. Luckily we only needed a place to stay for 1 night before heading out on a cruise.

The nearby blocks felt very safe, even in early evening & offer nice food options. Travel to the financial district was straightforward via bus using a Clipper card. It was by far the best value option for me, with a comfortable bed and decent size room. Overall I was happy with my stay. My room was a bit noisy on a few nights, with busy bars & their music etc. clearly heard through the windows. When I arrived, I had an empty soap wrapper instead of a bar of soap, and sticky mug rings on my bedside table. After nearly 18hrs of travel I couldn't face complaining, so cleaned this up myself and requested new soap, which was promptly and cheerfully delivered. Based on other reviews, those negatives sound like outlier experiences, and I do recommend the Chelsea Inn, especially for a business stay.

We stayed 2 nights here and both night were wonderful. It was really quiet and we walked to dinner both nights. There is a bunch of restraunts right around the block. We parked in the garage underneath the hotel and took city transit, the bus stop was right outside the front door almost, will definitely go back.
