It was easy to check in and the room was dated but clean and fine. My biggest complaint is that this is not a bargain hotel but they don’t straighten up the room for you. I am fine if for conservation purposes they don’t change sheets or towels when you are only there for a couple of days, but someone should make up the room each day.

We asked to change to an interior room because the hotel is at the very busy and somewhat noisy intersection of Fillmore and Lombard. Staff was very accomodating and consequently we hardly heard anything. It was easy to get public transport, and the hotel is reasonably priced. The free parking is a huge bonus, saving us $30-70 a day. Many good places to eat in walkable distances. The Marina District is nice and we walked many places at night with no worries about bums or crime. Easy to get to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass from here, either by bus or car.

Felt safe in the neighborhood as a single woman traveler. Walls are thin though, I brought a sound machine and was still woken up throughout the night with room doors slamming shut and a baby crying nearby, plus street sounds.

The Chelsea Inn is a clean, well maintained lodging at an attractive price. The air conditioning unit is quiet. The secure parking is a big plus. Check-in for a prepaid reservation was a bit involved. I wish inns/motels provided soft pillows. Also I wish the coffee maker would dispense just hot water - I prefer tea. I recommend The Home Plate for breakfast - one block away with superior food and service.
