Overall good

Overall a good stay. The one annoying thing (and it was very annoying) was dealing with a guest who shared a bathroom with me. They literally turned it into their own personal bathroom (hanging towels in common spaces, leaving dirty towels and hair everywhere) and I had to constantly step around their dirty towels on the floor. For that, I wish this hotel at least cleaned the bathrooms each day. Not really a complaint but a reminder for guests: for towels, soap, toilet paper, even a plunger for the toilet, it's all in the first floor closet underneath the stairs.

The Chelsea Inn was in a great location. Great for walking around Manhattan and subway stations nearby for travelling around the boroughs. Staff were great, friendly and really helpful. Room was small but had all we needed. Would definitely recommend!!

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.

The hotel itself was good. It wasn't super luxurious, and my room wasn't the most spacious (nothing like in the pictures), but it definitely wasn't bad. It had a big bed, a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, mini closet, and TV. Yes, the bathroom is shared, and it's awkward sharing a bathroom with strangers (it appears to be 1:2 - one bathroom for two separate rooms), but it was clean and in good condition. If you want something cheap just to lay your head and put your stuff down, then this isn't the worst place to be. It's good and convenient - and conveniently priced. The water cooler was broken, though, so I had to go out (to the Halal trucks) to get a bottle of water. My stay was good, and maybe given the chance, I'd do it again.

Experience the charming Chelsea Inn

The staff was friendly and attentive. I liked that I only had to share a bathroom with another person, not the entire floor. The rooms had wooden floors and good woodwork. I could relax knowing I wasn't going to see bugs. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Everything was lovely for a short stay and the location is amazing! Highly recommend. The only issue we had was that the bathroom sink (and to a lesser degree the shower) didn’t really drain (took an hour or so after brushing teeth etc), but a minor inconvenience compared to the ideal location. Staff would have a little basket of snacks out for grabs at the front desk, which was cute and very appreciated! Would definitely stay here again.
