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.

Stay was great, but Hotels.com screwed up on the booking and it was not enjoyable to deal with them. I will go direct next time.

It's an inexpensive place, no elevator, everything is mid. Hot water, quiet, comfortable enough that I've stayed here twice now. You can't leave bags for the day as there's no one on duty - you just key in the front door and into your room with a code.

Charming and clean
This was a great and friendly space. The staff are not on call 24 hrs a day but enough for me. They managed to move me from the 5th floor to to the 2nd floor after one day! Thank you!! The stairs are steep because it is an old refurbished building.the “houseman” moved my luggage for me. It was clean, safe and charming. The staff brought my Uber eats up to my room and he even told me a tip was unnecessary.

Great place to stay in New York City incredibly clean and quiet. They only issue is no elevator so be prepared to climb a few stairs. It’s worth the effort. I will stay there again.
