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.

I overall do recommend and would come back because of the good $ value. It's an apartment building converted into a hotel. The rooms are very cozy and the walk up could be challenging if you're lugging a large suitcase, but service is good, the room is clean and kept up well. Overall good value for $ (heads up if you're traveling for work and are relying on the Wifi, don't).

The Chelsea didn’t really feel like a hotel. It felt more like apartments that had been converted to hotel rooms. The condition and cleanliness of the room and bathroom weren’t great. The frame of my bed was broken. For the price I paid I definitely felt like it wasn’t worth it to stay there. The only good part was that the manager I texted with was very helpful.

This hotel is what you need! Perfect location! If you have back problems make sure you ask for a lower floor room and prep yourself regarding the bed, it is very hard. Besides that the cleaning staff are very nice and friendly. It has everything you need if you are planning on visiting NYC and not planning on staying in your room for too long.

It was overall clean and when I had a spill in my room, the janitor cleaned it up. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing I noticed was the vents in the AC looking pretty full.

Such an amazing location! Staff could be more focused on making sure the basics are handled like clean rooms and bathrooms for their guests. Both were not turned over in between guests for us. It was way too lateafter a long day in NYC for us to complain.

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.
