Everyone was so nice, I wasn't aware there wasn't an elevator and my room was on the fifth floor... I had a lot of luggage and work gear and the guy working here helped me take it all up the stairs! 😁 Also wasn't aware that they couldn't hold luggage after 3 pm... I had to take all of my luggage to work with me on checkout day because I couldn't have come back to get it by 3.

Chelsea Inn was a great option for our family trip to NYC. It was conveniently located near the subway line. It also had lots of options for dining at all times of the day. Rooms are on the smallish side but had a good size bathroom. The staff are amazing! Always friendly and willing to help with any question we had, the staff took great care to make sure we had everything we needed to have a great time on our trip. I highly recommend Chelsea Inn to anybody.

Our stay was great at Chelsea Inn! Its access to the subway station and other amenities was great, very walkable! The staff were very helpful, and the various self-services were straightforward and easy to use throughout the stay. We did share a bathroom with another room that caused a few problems for us, so that is one aspect of the shared bathroom option that is not ideal (i.e. you don't know who you're going to be sharing with and they may not be clean or respectful of the space). Overall, the Chelsea Inn worked for our needs!

I felt very welcomed and the room I stayed was a room with a shared bathroom. I had no issues since I didn't run into the other guests in the bathroom. It was clean and available! My door code was reset at aome point but it was fixed immediately by the staff! Overall a great stay!

Nice stay at The Chelsea Inn

Our room was a bit tight, but good. It had everything we needed and the hotel was situated well for where we needed to be. We were happy with the amenities included (refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, iron & small ironing board). Coffee was available most times in the lobby. The staff we met were very nice and helpful. We appreciated very much the hotel responding to our request for a room on a lower floor as we are seniors and the hotel does not have an elevator. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience at The Chelsea Inn, and the price was a good value in this neighborhood.

I’ve never not liked a place, so maybe someone else would rate this place lower if they weren’t me. Besides it being pretty nice all around on the surface, there were two incidents that might alarm someone else. One was that the remote nature, the not always present hotel personnel, was a little more trouble when the electronic door lock wasn’t working consistently. The other was that we were in room 100 that was at street level with two windows opening to the street outside, and we discovered that one of the windows to the street didn’t even have a lock! This was at about midnight. I did fashion a barrier using the curtain rod I disassembled, and a hotel person did come in minutes to help when I called. We agreed that my barrier would work and he said engineering would come the next day to fix it. When we came back to the hotel after spending the next day out, sure as we were told, the window now had a locked lock and the curtains were re-established.
