Chelsea Inn

It’s designed for people with cars. The parking is really safe. Only the ones who are checked in have access to the underground garage. There is a room key card scanner at the entrance of the underground garage. The parking is spacious as well. The ease of parking our car feels like the parking layout is was well thought out. The rooms are safe as well. Like the garage, only the ones who are checked in can go inside the rooms. There is also a room key card scanner at the entrance to the rooms. Additionally, there is a direct access from the rooms to the garage. They layout is extremely well designed for security. There is also an ice dispenser at the floor where our room is located. The location is nice as well. There are restaurants nearby. Looking through the window, I can see the Golden Gate Bridge from a distance when there is no fog. There is also a safe in the room so we were able to put our valuables in there. Overall an efficient experience and I definitely would visit again if I have a car with me.

It looks old. There is no refrigerator nor a microwave. Do not bring takeaway. We left the takeaway at our table and then the next day after waking up, there were ants crawling already. But these negatives did not hinder our enjoyable experience at SF.

The room is nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. The parking underground was locked and made me feel our car was safe. The parking is free. I really like the hotel.

What I didn’t like was the extremely loud bars across the street. I have never heard that much noise before. People were screaming until after 3:00 am in the morning. I barely slept. It’s not the hotels fault but sleep is important to me.

Great location near Marina and several bus lines, large room, clean, underground gated parking lot. Large queen bed was pretty comfortable. We especially liked Rose's cafe for brunch and Jaranita Peruvian for dinner. 1 block away you can rent bikes.

Aging building that is well maintained with newer bathroom but could use paint job. Older but solid furniture. Slow elevator. Excellent restaurants nearby.

We always stay here. It is clean, comfortable, reasonable and in a great location.

Minor complaints: We heard some noise from the hallway ice machine. There is not a refrigerator.

They were able to accommodate my requests. I requested a fridge, which they provided me for the duration of my stay. I checked in quite early (about 10am, if I remember correctly) and they were able to have the room ready for me pretty quickly. Also, I requested the quietest room that they have, and they provided me with a room that has no view, and it was pretty much completely quiet, which honestly surprised me, considering how busy this area is! It was absolutely PERFECT for my desires! Very nice and friendly staff. The bed was soo comfortable, I haven't slept that well in ages, seriously. The location is also excellent, as there's an endless amount of restaurants nearby, and the beach is just a couple of minutes away. Thank you for everything, I'll certainly book here again when I go back to SF!

If I had to be picky, I'd say that the showers water pressure was a bit weak.

Very good location. We felt very safe in this area and walked everywhere we went including Fisherman’s wharf, Pier 39 and 33 and to Safeway for groceries (10 minute walk) as we had a fridge in the room. A touch noisy at night on weekends but if wanting to stay on Lombard, it will be noisy anywhere. If you’re sensitive to noise I’d suggest asking for a room that does not face Lombard. Staff were very friendly and helpful and indicated on a map the areas to avoid. The rooms themselves were larger than expected and very comfortable.

We were on the third floor (highest level) and the water pressure sucked. It might be just fine on floors 1 and 2 but it was less than desirable on 3. There was plenty of hot water though, so that made up for the lack of pressure… a bit.

Great location with parking! Wonderful staff, the front desk staff were very helpful, also with directions, sending us to good restaurants and walkable coffee breakfast spots! housekeeping was polite and very thoughtful and took care of anything we needed i.e., extra coffee, etc.  Our room was on the corner, which we loved, and was very spacious. A little noisy from a bar across the street in the late evening , but it didn’t last long. We will definitely stay here again! The room price was very good, a deal!

Can’t think of anything.

Good size room, clean and tidy. Check in was quick and lovey lady receptionist very helpful and friendly.

Lots of street noise, maybe needs better windows. On checkout male receptionist was rude and unhelpful when asking about directions.

The location was very good - near to Fillmore Street and with a bus stop just outside for going further afield. Walking to fisherman's wharf approx half an hour. Plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Shops and off licences round the corner. Nearby cafe gives 10pc off breakfast for guests.

An impersonal motel and no interaction with staff unless you have a specific question (which they may or may not be able to answer). Furnishings could do with updating. A fridge in the room would be good.

THE GREAT: Husband and I stayed at The Chelsea Inn for 5 days, I chose this hotel for a few important reasons: location (restaurants, golden gate bridge, palace of fine arts & crissy field), FREE gated parking, has an elevator and most importantly AC. I also really like the look of inn inside and out. The Chelsea has a vintage-colonial look with large bay windows, bed was comfortable not too soft, not too hard. Plenty of drawer space and armoire with a flat screen television. Bathroom was large enough for two people and has a full length mirror and a pretty good sized closet with hangers and ironing board/ iron. BONUS there was a safe (in the armoire) and a full size hair dryer. A small coffee/ tea maker is also in the room with 2 packs of coffee & cups but we did request for more packs for the rest of our stay and the front desk elderly gentlemen gave us what we needed with no issues whatsoever and gave us some useful tips and a map!

THE NOT SO GREAT: doesn't have a fridge BUT there's an ice machine and we had brought our cooler so we made it work. Also there's a spot across the street that's pretty popular and loud with music but thankfully with the AC turned on and white noise machine we where able to get some pretty restful sleep. Also parking can be a bit tricky with tighter small spaces but just take your time and park in-between the yellow lines so that everyone can park their vehicle. One night we had to park our car outside of the garage (which made us nervous, but I chose the marina location because it's considered "safer") because an SUV was in a compact spot and didn't park appropriately. We moved our car the next day and all was totally fine.
