The bathroom had swarm of ants, I mean dozens of ants. We went to the front desk and showed an employee a video of the ants. He said sorry about that and went about his business. My wife and I literally stood there with our luggage for nearly ten minutes before I asked him what could be done. He said he couldn’t do anything for us since we made the reservation through a third party. I then asked why he didn’t say anything to us and let us stand there for ten minutes without any communication, and he remained quiet. I told him he didn’t even offer us a credit or new room, and his response was “you didn’t ask”. All we did was tell him about a serious ant issue, and he showed no concern. This was extremely poor customer service.

Parking was tight, Room was fine and honestly bathroom was outdated and gross. We stayed less than 12 hours (early flight out) so barely used the full accommodations. Would not stay again.

The nearby blocks felt very safe, even in early evening & offer nice food options. Travel to the financial district was straightforward via bus using a Clipper card. It was by far the best value option for me, with a comfortable bed and decent size room. Overall I was happy with my stay. My room was a bit noisy on a few nights, with busy bars & their music etc. clearly heard through the windows. When I arrived, I had an empty soap wrapper instead of a bar of soap, and sticky mug rings on my bedside table. After nearly 18hrs of travel I couldn't face complaining, so cleaned this up myself and requested new soap, which was promptly and cheerfully delivered. Based on other reviews, those negatives sound like outlier experiences, and I do recommend the Chelsea Inn, especially for a business stay.

We stayed 2 nights here and both night were wonderful. It was really quiet and we walked to dinner both nights. There is a bunch of restraunts right around the block. We parked in the garage underneath the hotel and took city transit, the bus stop was right outside the front door almost, will definitely go back.

This place is stuck in the 80s ! There's even a phone book in nightstand. The furniture is falling apart. It's just totally stuck in the '80s and if you're on any side the Lombard side or the fillmore side you're going to hear a music and people screaming and drunk people until after 2:00 a.m. They should really warn people about this before you get a room there. We definitely would not ever stay here again. Also the bathroom was dirty old crusty stuff in the tiles.

The location was wonderful. We could walk or catch a bus to wherever we wanted to go in the SF area. Union and Chestnut shopping and dining streets were both within a couple of blocks with a great selection of dining, bars, and shops - including a good bookstore and old fashion movie theater. We could walk to the Marina area, Presidio or Ft. Mason. We would stay here again.

Ok experience

Everything was kind of out of date and felt a little sub par… I asked the front desk if they have water available and they said no, but they have vending machines, the one on my floor didn’t have any bottled water. They didn’t have a mini fridge or microwave in the rooms. One benefit was the underground locked parking available. It’s fine if you just need a place to sleep and not spend much time!
