It is not implicit that this property has no elevator. I had to go through 5 flights of stairs. The rooms were really hot and the heat/air doesn’t work.

This property is in a great location! I enjoyed my stay here. As other reviews state, the rooms are on the smaller side, but it’s honestly all you need for a few nights! If your room has the pipes in it, then the room can get incredibly warm! Otherwise, nice stay. Would stay again.

Chelsea in February

Excellent city location with Trader Joes nearby. Friendly, helpful staff who responded quickly to TV and safe issue. Especially grateful for “no party” houserules after long days tourguiding. Small room but perfect for those out and about all day. Good size fridge, also coffee machine and microwave. Very clean and extra towels, snacks and coffee upon request. Dated furniture, but no frills is all I needed, so good value for money in my book.

The property was centrally located to what we were interested in. It was perfect for the occasion. While it may be on the smaller side it was cozy and well furnished.

It’s a tiny room in an old building, you get what you pay for. We visited in the winter and the small room is stifling hot (at least above 85 degrees) and you can’t adjust the temp. Turning the valve on the radiator doesn’t help. We had to open our window (it was in the 20s outside) just to prevent from burning up. Worse yet, the old radiator will start making an extremely loud banging sound in the middle of the night every night. This place is pretty bad, but if it is all you can afford, it will do.

Cozy in Chelsea

The Chelsea Inn was a great place to use as a jumping off point for our whirlwind trip to NYC. The hotel was well-kept and easy to access. We had an issue with the room being cold and it was fixed promptly. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Check in/out was easy, be weary there is no elevator (we were on the 5th floor). Walls are pretty thin, but hotel room was clean and comfortable. Water pressure was terrible, showering was difficult.
