While this place is in the center of everything and a few blocks from the beach… it’s a hole. Floors are wildly slanted, soft spots in some areas that make you think maybe you’ll fall through. Elevator is the most terrifying thing. The smell of mildew and mold hit you like a ton of bricks the moment you walk through the doors from the cute restaurant front they have. Let’s start there… walked in and was greeted by a nice gentlemen and the scent of mildew and humidity covered window panes - who then answered a call about blood on the sheets - he reassured me many times it was make up; the staff “takes their jobs very seriously about cleanliness”. I chuckled and thought oh my - what have I signed myself up for? I get my card key and room number. I go up, neither key works, door doesn’t even have power to it. I go down, reassigned room. I go up, filthy. Mysterious smudges on sheets so we head back down. Once again given keys to the room where the door isn’t working and instructions that maybe I was swiping the key wrong… nope. He comes up, nothing. We go back down. Reassigned AGAIN. At this point I should have taken the sign but it was so late getting a room anywhere else would have been impossible. Finally in a room, sheets - passable but refused to sleep in them just on the comforter. The beds are old, uncomfortable and every spring makes the comical boing sound. 3 nights of this hell - looking back the best part was the restaurant out front. 2/10 don’t do it.

I recently stayed at Hotel Chelsea, and while the property itself shows promise, the overall guest experience was disappointing. The location is convenient, and the rooms are adequately appointed, but the hospitality and service standards did not meet expectations. During my visit, I encountered a lack of attentiveness from the restaurant staff, who appeared disengaged and more focused on their phones than on guest service—even for hotel patrons. The hostesses, in particular, were not warm or welcoming, which ultimately led me to dine elsewhere despite being an overnight guest. Hotel Chelsea has the infrastructure to offer a memorable stay, but it urgently needs investment in staff development and customer service training. With improved hospitality and a renewed focus on guest engagement, this property could truly elevate its reputation and encourage repeat visits.

The hotel was a bit old. There was no TV. We could not watch TV at all. We asked the gentleman to come up to fix it. And he said there was nothing he could do. You did have to pay for parking which was an inconvenience. The hotel was a bit old. There was a price for breakfast. Some of the employees were friendly and some were not. We would definitely not stay there again.

It is clean and has a stylish desigh. It is not a high end luxury hotel,but cozy and comfortable enough . I wish they would have Kettle in tge room and always available drinking water. Ready to pay for parking.I stsyed from 10 p.m -11 a.m and had to pay 17 dollars for oarking.Be ready for that extra expense. If you want cofee in the morning, just ask for it . There are a lot of younger people and they were loud at night .It would be much more pleasant stay ,if i wouldn't be woken up by loud youngsters.

For a hotel that potentially makes a decent amount amount of money. You think they’d be able to afford actual cable. They had basic analog type free tv and it froze continuously all night, there were maybe 2 channels that worked. Also they need to invest in some new shower heads.

The loading zone- non existent. No one site parking, hotel, spa- even though it is advertised it is 20 minutes away at their sister hotel. Absolutely horrible. We tried to venture over to the other hotel to use the pool but we were told the wrong times of operation and couldn’t even use it. The staff has no clue what is going on. They just sit around and talk to each other and play on their phones. My family booked two rooms and one had air conditioning issues and no hot water. The other room had only hot water. Not acceptable. Will never stay here again. Not a safe neighborhood at night.

I found the cleaning staff very friendly, smiling and greeting me in the hallways. Different experience with staff at front desk. In every instance during my stay I had to verbally get the attention of the staff person to be noticed, TWICE when I was standing right in front of them. (One finally looked up from his phone and asked how long I had been standing there.)
