This was such a fun place to stay! It felt like living in your own nyc apartment, would definitely recommend. The only problem I had was with the staff. When checking in they weren’t understanding at all, didn’t want to answer any of my questions, and overall made me feel stupid for not answering their calls the day of the check in while I was on back to back flights. I had no idea there was more things I had to fill out after traveling for 24 hours, got no updates until the day of when my phone was on airplane mode. The front door has a lock with a code you can only get after filling out the forms, so getting inside was pretty difficult for me. Even after getting the code, there wasn’t any instructions. I figured out getting inside after another guest helped me out, telling me they struggled with it too. I can’t explain how uncomfortable I felt having to get inside the building everyday, it would’ve been great if someone on the front desk gave better or really any instruction instead of making me feel bad.

It’s on the low end of price for hotels which is great if that’s what you are looking for. We had a shared bathroom with another room which worked out fine. The heat in the older building was a bit hard to control and the mattress and bedding could use an upgrade. Super convenient location for us and we have been there a few times now.

Chelsea Inn is fabulous! Yes there is no elevator but the service from the staff makes up for that. We did have a heating issue and they bent over backwards to help us. The rooms are small but they have everything you need. I would definitely stay again.

The staff was super helpful when we had questions and always very nice to us. The inn is in a good location, it's close to the main parts of Manhattan but in a less busy area. It's well connected by public transport and many attractions can be reached by a 20/30 minutes walk. Our room with private bathroom was comfortable enough for a short stay, there was a bit of dust in a couple of spots but otherwise it was clean.

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.
