10/10 Exceptional

Great location, easy check in, good value.
Joseph, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Comfy, clean and free parking

Great check-in experience; quick and easy. The desk clerk secured a parking spot for us in the underground garage.

Excellent stay!

Clean, comfortable rooms. Pillows could be better but they were functional. Office staff very friendly and helpful. Conveniently located near several transit stops and a few good dining options. Free secured parking.

Close to many restaurants great staff friendly came to the city for a doctors appointment. Had a great dinner and a good night. Sleep could use a new mattress and a little updating in a room otherwise it was great.

2/10 Poor

I stayed here on the night of the 23rd. The attitude of the female staff at the front desk was really bad. I think if a job makes you unhappy, please don't do it. It will affect the image of the hotel.
Ray, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Average kind of place and decent for the price. Has an 80s building kind of vibe. Excellent proximity to the hot spot areas on Fillmore , Union and Chestnut street corridors.

4/10 Fair

Rooms and hotel in need of a renovation. Only one chair in the room. Desk did not have a desk chair, missing furniture was unexpected. One small bar of soap was only amenity in bathroom. The in shower pump for shower gel was empty. Hair in the bath tub. Worst thing is our room faced the back alley, which is next door to a post office. All day and night constantly hearing trucks running, unloading, banging, yelling, never stopped for 5 minutes. We didn't get any sleep. Ask for a room away from the alley.

The location is great and it met all of our needs. It’s not the most modern hotel but we prefer to stay there because it’s perfect for us!

Lovely hotel with free secure parking. In a safe area with easy walking access to coffee shops and restaurants.

Overall, it's good bang for the buck. Old but kept well. Only issue, my shower drain was slow to drain, needed a snake down it. Great location. Just make sure and ask for a room away from busy road that runs in front.

Back side room quiet. Everything just OK, nothing special.

6/10 Good

The room smelled musty and it was damp. The carpet felt damp. The comforter was actually wet. All our clothes felt damp after being in the room.
Stephen, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Happened to stay during Santa Con so it was just CRAZY outside. Super fun though! Did have ants in the bathroom but everything was pretty clean other than that!
Victoria, 2-night trip

Dated but clean. A little bit more expensive than I liked.

They did keep my suit case safe although didn’t call me… Bathroom wasn’t too clean in the shower wall.
Audrey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient, Safe, Friendly

I found the Chelsea Inn fit my needs perfectly. It was what I expected. Wilson at the front desk was super friendly. He and I are both SF native kids so there was an instant bond. Parking is secure in the lot outside the lobby or in the card key operated underground garage. Safe hotel. Rooms & bathrooms are spacious with older Early American style furniture, comfortable beds. Bedding and towel linens were clean. 3rd floor has nice views. Rooms have safe deposit boxes. Always a plus! A mini fridge and microwave would have been a nice touch, often found in these Lombard Street area hotels. You could see in the TV Armoire that space was there to accommodate them at one time. I think maybe some rooms have them? My 3rd floor room faced Fillmore, great views!! Traffic noise was not an issue... but on a Fri or Sat night, there's a super popular nightclub across the street called Jaxson's. It's packed with people pouring out onto the sidewalks, so if outside noise bothers you, the Fillmore street facing rooms on a Fri or Sat night might not be for you. It didn't bother me. The hotel itself is very quiet and convenient and efficient. Good value. I'd stay here agin. Only thing that bothered me... housekeeping piles up dirty linens, garbage and dishes just outside the elevators on the room floors. It's unsanitary and smells. Also unnecessary because housekeeping closets are steps away. Perhaps they need dirty linen bins? Fixable! Exterior halls could be cleaner. I'd stay here again!
