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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

This hotel seems to make their business on housing poor immigrants and homeless on public funding. Nothing wrong with that and the hotel is by far the least expensive in town. You should be aware of this before booking, otherwise the security at the doorbell and the checkin looks weird. Staff does a good job given the conditions, rooms are reasonably clean.
