Motel propre, personnel accueillant. Je m’attendais à ce que la chambre soit un peu plus grande et que le micro-ondes soit dans la chambre. La salle de bain était un coup de cœur. La douche est spacieuse et la pièce est rénovée. Le seul bémol est qu’il y avait des cheveux sur le mur de la douche quand je suis arrivée. À part ça, bon séjour où l’air climatisé murale dans la chambre était très appréciée.

Wonderful experience at Motel Chelsea. Check-in was very easy and they provided clear and helpful instructions. The room itself was so nice and filled with helpful notes and instructions to make our stay very easy. We were there to celebrate our anniversary and they left a personal note for us which was so thoughtful! Great amenities in the room like a Dyson hairdryer, record player and fireplace. We want to come back and stay again to experience some of the fun things they seem to have on-site during the weekends like live music and the restaurant. Thanks for the great stay!!
