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.

Overall, the staying in Chelsea Inn was good. The location is very centered (nearby restaurants, MTA stations, etc.). I just didn’t liked when having an accident in the linen sheets, you don’t have a housekeeper to change it because they have the Policy about asking for housekeeping service the night before. I think it was an excellent quality-price relation.

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!
