I chose the room on Expedia. My credit card was cancelled by my bank for nefarious aactivity. The Chelsea Hotel then cancelled my reservation. They did not call me. I tried calling them and went through a phone tree that was not only not helpful but hung up on me three times. I tried to make a new reservation which was more than twice the original amount. I chose a different hotel.

Great location. Old property, but nicely maintained. Clear instructions of entry acess, and easy entry into the room. But shower drain was clogged and did not drain well.

This is great for a short stay. Rooms are small but cozy, and beds are stiff but sufficient. Sometimes all you need is a safe space to sleep for a night. Plenty of bodegas and restaurants around, so no concerns there. No elevator and front desk is only available for so many hours of the day. It was perfect for me.

Booked a room for 3 people but the room was smaller than a dorm room for 2. The fold out bed was very uncomfortable and too short for a 5’7 person. The towel hanger was broken and the room was in general disrepair. There was a distinct smell of mildew and bleach causing an allergic response.

I enjoyed my stay at the Chelsea Inn. Friendly staff, room was clean, confidently located. The only real downside was you could hear everything. People were so loud in the hallway. Which isn’t the hotels fault. People just have zero manners or consideration for others.
