Road work outside created unbearable sound. No elevator. Shared bathrooms. Thin walls. Bed was horrible. Not worth the money- do yourself a favor and spend an extra $100 bucks and stay somewhere we you can have your own bathroom.

Wilma at the front desk was awesome! The room is clean and has its own ac/heat unit. The bed is comfortable. It’s very quiet. The communication is excellent. And the cost is very reasonable.

The electronic door lock kept malfunctioning. The towel rack in the bathroom was falling down all the time, and I woke up to loud construction every morning. The last night of my stay I had a cockroach on my bed by my pillow.

The room was hot, couldn't get it to cool off. (Heat rises) The 5 flight walk up every day killed me. (all the walking added to fatigue made my knee hurt alot) the room was clean, shower clean, not good water pressure due to being on 5th floor, but just took longer to bathe. .

pros: clean, location, no fills, VERY BASIC. Cons: NOISE!!!! you will not get any sleep here because the street right outside has plates and every time some is driving over it, you will absolutely hear it. I do NOT recommend staying here if you're just looking to rest your head, there are better options for a few more bucks.

There were weird clunking noises happening randomly the whole time we stayed. The WiFi also did not work very well on the upper floors, our room was on the 5th floor and we could hardly get a connection in our room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Bunk bed very uncomfortable. Might be ok for a kid but not for an adult. My back hurt the next day and my husband's shoulder too. No where to sit other than one stool and the top single bunk. Furniture rickety, handle missing screw on closet door. Toilet bowl dirty, missing hand soap in bathroom. Our room happened to be next the front door on ground level and we heard people coming and going all night.

Second time staying here. It’s cozy in the sense that the room is small, but if you’re aware of that going in it’s totally fine. The room is in good shape, the only frustrating part is the noise from the heat kicking on at 5am every day. Outside of that, it’s actually a very quiet hotel by New York standards. Would recommend!

For the price, what you get is not bad. It’s a place to sleep while visiting the city and not spending a lot of money. It’s small, but comes with essentially what you need, a bed, a TV, refrigerator and microwave with coffee machine. Very simple. If traveling with kids, might not recommend. I had a small room and shared a bathroom with the adjoining room. But it was just for one night and my toddler and I left the following morning to get on the train so it wasn’t a big deal. Reminds me of a hostel. Very clean and customer service is very responsive. It’s self check-in with codes that they email you.

The Chelsea Inn was clean, easy to check in/out, and in a convenient location. I was nervous about the process but it was easy. Note you have to carry your bags up stairs and I had my own private bathroom.

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.

They must have turned on the heat but there was no way to adjust the temperature and it was very hot to sleep in. Staff were very friendly and helpful when we had questions.
