Everything about the hotel was fine. The webform had a problem (using an Android cell phone)--I could not upload photo identification for both guests, which resulted in a minor delay. After 5 the problem could have been more serious.

Simple and efficient! Wish more hotels were like that, just put a card on file, charge or change it, get a code for your entry annd room and your set. Wish it wasn’t a shared bathroom but everything else is great. It was nice to see it was a single bed instead of doubles. Makes the romantic night even more worth it. Thank you Chelsea Inn!

The room I had was so hot because of the hot water pipe running through the room. It must have been 80 degrees at least. As a result, I didn’t sleep well. Otherwise the location is great and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend a room in the back of the building as the street level noise is loud.

The location is awesome, the staff is friendly and very willing to help and that makes a difference! The rooms were cleaned and as described. The only negative part is that the garbage trucks and contruction people were working at night time and it was difficult not to be awaken by the noises outside and close to the hotel. Otherwise, really enjoyed my stay for my solo trip!
