I liked the location, very convenient, next to subway stations, and walkable distance to Times Square or the Empire State Building. I did not like the room size, photos do no reflect the real size, too small, and the heat was too high, could not be change. Does not have elevator and stair case is narrow and steep.

I was very pleased with the staff. They were very nice, accommodating, and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. The only slight issue we experienced was a slow draining shower but it did not affect our experience.

Solid deal for the price!
You must register with full ID and security info in the days prior to your stay. Don't miss the messages from the property on the Hotels.com app and/or email/text. With that done you get an email the day before check-in with lobby and room access codes and wi-fi info. Everything went very smoothly apart from some amusing typos in the messages. My room (with private washroom) was small but very well appointed (coffee maker, bottled water, microwave, fridge, safe, nice TV) and comfortable (good bed, towels, HVAC control). Front desk periodically has humans but always has Keurig coffee and snacks. Location is good and well signed. Look for the black awning. Drawbacks: no luggage storage, maid service or elevator Solid deal for the price!

Cute hotel. But, not having an elevator is a small annoyance, especially if your room is on the 5th floor :-))

Avoid. You will regret staying here
You might think a hotel without an elevator would mention that upfront. Nope! You're thinking of a better place than the Chelsea Inn. That should be the headline, but it's hidden in the POLICIES section of their listing. How is "no elevator" a POLICY?  Hope you like carrying stuff up narrow staircases!   Did you want a room where you could control the temperature? Sorry, not here; they only turn on the heat at night, so if it's cold out and you sleep late, expect to freeze. Did you expect wifi because it's listed as an amenity? It exists, but when it works it's virtually unusable; it disconnects often and is unusably slow 98% of the time. Want to leave your bags at the front desk? Forget about it! Regularly scheduled room cleaning? Or a sign you hang on your door to request cleaning? Nope. Want to change rooms? You'll need that approved by someone offsite; the person at the front desk isn't empowered to help guests.   For a closet, there's an 18-inch-wide particle board cabinet from Ikea's bargain bin. There's no phone in the room, and (obviously) no room service. There is no lobby. Only registered guests are allowed in the rooms, so don't expect to have any friends or relatives stop by.   This may well be the worst hotel I've ever stayed in - and I've stayed in places that smelled of mold and had no blankets, and in places that rent rooms by the hour to guests who see that as a benefit, if you know what I mean. I would put the Chelsea Inn in the same category as those.

This property is great value because of its amazing location and the quality of the room - spacious, equipped with a fridge, coffee machine, tv, and microwave. However, the WiFi doesn’t work at all and they are unapologetic about this. Depending on your room, it seems you either have no windows or you overlook the street, and there were a number of trucks servicing the nearby buildings late at night and in the wee hours so noisy. I didn’t think it bad for solo travel though if you have other places to be that have WiFi and you just need a base for a few days.
