The room was alright. Hotel was dirty. Checking in was not easy. Things going on in the hallway and outside all hours of the night. Very overpriced for the quality of the hotel. Would not return.

The ability to witness a murder. WOW! Very unsafe! This is a homeless shelter more than a hotel. At best a hostel.

Oh my God. This place is surreal. Absolutely disgusting. I have stayed in many inexpensive places but this place should not be legally able to operate. Please save your money. We left and went to another hotel.

Did not stay here due to safety concerns. Felt like I was pulling up to a homeless shelter rather than a hotel. Bunch of people smoking up front and the door was locked. Also, appeared more run down and older than in the photos.

A lot of red flags. The area and the premises felt very unsafe. The rooms smelled of weed and smoke and were dirty, without any amenities. There were random people at the reception at 1 am who looked stoned. We had to abandon our reservation after checking in and look for something at the last minute.

I left within two hours. I’m pretty sure the receptionist was on drugs. The place was disgusting! The bed was so dirty you could lie down on it. There was graffiti on the walls. Smokes burns on the bed and bathroom floor. I felt so unsafe! A homeless man got in from the back door and was outside my room door and offered to smoke weed with me in the car park, I was terrified. There was random shouting. There was flies in the lobby. The bathroom smelt of smoke was dirty!

Windows opened with fans in them and clothing hanging out to dry. It was nothing like the pics. I doubt I ever trust Expedia again

Comparable to my local homeless shelter. There was a stabbing the night before we went. We stood in the door until our Uber came back afraid to move. Thudding and thumping up and down the stairs and dirt stains. Nothing like the pictures I seen. Building was a completely different colour! Was refunded my money which is nice and the staff knew they didn’t want us there (people may cause us problems) as much as we didn’t want to be there.

Chelsea inn is a flop.house for druggies and prostitution. Or room didn't lock and some one dressed is all black came into our room about 3am. Then at 4am the fire alarm went off and we checked out. We were there for 2.5hrs!! Your customer service chat was not Helsinki. They refused to refund us and we couldn't find a room at any other hotel that wasn't under$600 a night. Due to expedia.com's lack of vetting and safety protocols, yall put is in a dangerous situation! I will never use your service again and i will tell everyone i know how awful my experience was with your services. We ended up sitting at a dennys until 8am when we could finally get our rental car and head to our actual destination. I want my money back! And i took pictures of this horrible hotel!!

when I pulled up there was a gang of hooligans out front selling drugs, I just drove away. Unsafe place, do not go there.

I showed up and should have left without going inside… because drugs and sketch happening all in the parking lot. Went into the he’ll hole only to be told no reservation. I was going to cancel it anyways because it was awful!! Literally drugged out people in the hall and lobby. So I was fine that they didn’t ’have My reservation’ ans happy to leave. Now comes the fun part, making sure they don’t charge me because I guarantee that money was spent on drugs already. Take note. When I left the parking lot a cop pulled me over to see what I was doing there. After realizing I was not high as a kite he informed me to stay away and steered me in a better direction.

Upon arrival was informed by hotel front desk staff that they were extremely overbooked and had no room for me for the night. They said that Expedia, Kayak, etc. regularly overbook their hotel without advising them. I had to book into another hotel tonight at twice the price Expedia had quoted for the Chelsea Inn. However, overall it was probably lucky for me that this happened. The Chelsea Inn is extremely drab and rundown. Most of the clients appear to be at the low end of the economic spectrum. In the half hour I spent on the property while waiting for a cab to get out of there several shouting matches occurred. (Between clients and between clients/staff). One guy spent over 15 minutes squatting in the parking lot and repeatedly placing things up to his nose. No one is allowed to sit in the lobby. I was challenged when I tried to sit in the lobby while trying to use my cell phone to book alternate accommodation. Overall, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I'm not sure why this place is listed on this site.

This place was a disaster that the quality of looked nothing like the picture in the listing. There were broken windows, unprofessional hand scribbled notes on the door, homeless bums around the area and by the door; which was locked so we couldn't get in and there was no one inside to let us in either. The area in general felt VERY unsafe! This "hotel" stole my money. We had to go find a hotel elsewhere.
