Chelsea Inn

This is probably the worst hotel I have ever visited.

This was a great location for my visit to NYC. Easy to get in and out of the hotel even though it was staffless/contactless check in. The bathroom had several dead lightbulbs and it was a bit noisy (I could hear the person next to me cough) but I slept well and felt safe. I will definitely return!

Pros: -A good deal. -Clean -Polite staff that’s willing to accommodate -great area with a lot of stuff to do -close to transit Cons: -You are required to keep the temp 74 degrees (it gets hot and stuffy in the room) -The walls are very thin and you can hear drunkards in the lobby making noise on the weekends. I had to watch the volume of my voice in the room because I was worried people could hear me. These two things made it very difficult to sleep during my stay.

Look, I'm not in NYC to sit in a hotel room. I want a clean, safe place to sleep and this was that 100%. Rooms are small, as most things are around here, but complete and clean. Bed wasn't the most comfortable, but we were so exhausted it didn't matter.

We had a very pleasant time during our stay and we loved the location - the hotel has a fantastic location for the price, and it was ideal for exploring Chelsea or accessing to subway to go up or down town and see other parts of the city. The room was also clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. If you’re not planning on spending much time in your hotel room, this is an ideal booking! We knew going in that the room would be small and mostly taken up by the bed but the issue ultimately was with the comfort in general, not the size - unfortunately the bed was awful. The mattress felt like sleeping on cardboard and seemed to dip in the middle. The bedding was thin and not warm. This maybe could have been bearable for one night, but night 2 and 3 were difficult. It was also very inconvenient that there’s no option to leave your bags with the front desk if you arrive early or need to kill time between checkout and travel plans.

Lovely room and bathroom and very nice, helpful staff. Problems with the mattress - it sinks in the middle, and the room backs onto an alleyway where people dispose of their refuse at all times of the night.

Excellent stay for quick overnight. Simple self check in and comfortable accommodations. Everything was clean with soap and towels provided. Bed was comfortable but a little noisy. Full control of temperature. Great jumping off point for sightseeing and exploration without the chaos of other sections of the city.

We had the room on the first floor and right next to the main entrance. We can hear the front door open and locking with every guest coming in and out thru the main entrance. The window in the room was facing the street and at the ground level. So we could also hear people talking and car driving past by. Everything in the room looked so cheap. We were told that room was used to be a staff room not a guest room since the condition is so bad. Do not stay with this place, no matter what.
