Chelsea Inn

Very safe parking area. Close to everything. Hotel was very quiet and rooms were good size. Would stay there again.

Location is excellent, few short blocks to Fort Mason. Lots of restaurants nearby, no restaurants in the hotel though. Hotel is of the budget variety, with very basic amenities, no car charging, no refrigerator in the rooms. On the plus side, Free self parking, and usable internet. Rooms are spacious but the view is generally not very nice (garbage on the ground in the alleyway, for example).

Great property. Nothing fancy but very clean, comfortable, and free parking.

Great location, reasonable price for the area. The parking was a plus!

Very basic accommodations. Staff was helpful but room was basic - no fridge, micro, no extras (gym, pool, restr, etc.) but access to public transport and neighborhood feel

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

I loved that the place had convenient parking. It was really clean too.

The location for this property is its best aspect! We loved that the hotel had a bus stop right outside, and that there were a lot of restaurants/stores on the same road. We also liked having a parking garage included; that was really important because of our car rental.

This was a great 2 night stay! I will definitely come back again! - The hotel is located in a great area with restaurants, bars and ways to get around the city. We walked everywhere. - The room was spacious, clean, and had an air conditioner - Parking was free & is located in a garage below the hotel - You need key access to enter the parking garage & elevator, which made us feel safe. - There is NO refrigerator but they did have an ice machine on the floor - Staff was nice and had everything ready for us when we arrived.

Love the on site parking! We left our rental parked and used Waymo to travel around town. Restaurants within walking distance.

Room was okay, until I woke up in the morning with ants all over bedside table and even some in the bed, I could easily tell they were ants though, at least they were not bed bugs.

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.

Great property. Nothing fancy but very clean, comfortable, and free parking.

We enjoyed our time there. The place was convenient to shopping and restaurants. It was very clean even the halls, the elevator, and the stairwell. We felt safe.

Not the cleanest bathroom. Extremely loud.

I loved that the place had convenient parking. It was really clean too.

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.

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.

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.

Great property, convenient location, lots of dining options, clean rooms/property and very friendly staff!

No refrigerator and noisy heater.

Clean, comfortable, modern room. Ask for upper floor to minimize noise from late-night luggage carts. Parking secure and excellent, and FREE. Now, my preferred location to stay in S.F.

Very basic accommodations. Staff was helpful but room was basic - no fridge, micro, no extras (gym, pool, restr, etc.) but access to public transport and neighborhood feel

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!

The rooms were clean a bit outdated with no fridge. The elevator would close quickly, there were several times I was separated from other members of my party because the doors shut fast before loading or unloading. At night it was noisy until after 2 am due to nearby bars. On the up side the staff was great, and the property is in a great location, walkable for food, shopping, and the marina. I would recommend others to stay at this location.

2nd time staying here. I would stay again but only if guaranteed a room that does not face Lombard. We were disrupted from 2-4am by a motorcycle party across the street at the bar. the first time we stayed our room faced Fillmore and it was still noisy with the bar across that street but not as bad. Will probably not stay there again, unless you are going to party all night.

the hotel room was spacious and clean. Parking was easy. The air conditioner was very loud. Also the street noise was extremely loud, especially when the bars let out on Saturday night.

The Chelsea is in a great location. The free parking is a great perk. The Room was clean and spacious. The Mexican Restaurant across the street is great too!

It's an old feeling property. Noisy from the street. no micro or fridge. It's a good option if you have not other choices.

Clean, surprisingly spacious rooms with updated features while still preserving bit of San Francisco's architectural charm. At the corner of Fillmore and Lombard, it's an excellent location for enjoying the Marina district, Presidio, Fort Mason, etc. I expected it to be noisy, given that the Fillmore is quite lively at night, but it wasn't noticeable from our room. Free parking in that area is definitely a bonus. The underground gated garage was clean and well-lit. It was easy to park a compact car, but might be a tight fit for larger vehicles when mostly full.

Good service 👍 prompt attention

Lady at night shift is a little rude.

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.

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

We really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Property is at a great location with on site parking that makes it so convenient. Staff was amazing, provided great information for getting around, dining, etc. I couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the area.

The hotel was clean and the staff was very pleasant, helpful. The only downside was the outside noise as our room was on the alley side

Very nice man to check us in

I liked that the inn was nearby a lot of dining options. It’s really well located near restaurants. For those who are going for the night scene, definitely convenient as there are a few options across the street. Otherwise, everything else wasn’t as expected. First, the staff isn’t friendly nor welcoming. I smiled at them a few times with no smile back. On a couple occasions, I could see the front desk lady staring at us as loaded everyone up, my dad who’s in a wheelchair and infant daughter. I smiled back after the awkward realization we were being watched but received no smile or acknowledgment of my wave. Secondly, the hot water all over the building was out. We didn’t get notified and when called the person on the other phone couldn’t really give us any information other than we called to get it fixed and it should be fixed later. With an added comment along the lines of “you know, these things happen” they didnt even offer a late check out or apology. They also made my friend move her car so someone else could park in the parking spot by the front desk. She was well within her right as she parked there with an suv and the other driver had a pick up, but really!? They didn’t offer her another spot within the building. Lastly, at night, the front desk lady allowed guest to park in the main entrance and I couldn’t get to the handicap parking spot that I needed for my dad. I had to drive around the block and drop him off on the side. I won’t be staying here again.

The Chelsea Inn people are very helpful and friendly. The service is excellent. Saturday night was noisy but otherwise a very good stay.

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.

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.

Great location, reasonable price for the area. The parking was a plus!

Good location, walking distance to GG Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf, free indoor parking, clean, comfortable. The bar next door had some noise late into the night, not the hotel’s fault. Safe location. Mel’s Drive-in down the street had excellent food.

We had a great stay at the Chelsea Inn! The hotel is located in a safe neighbourhood and has great access to public transportation. However, it can get quite loud on Friday and Saturday nights with the bar near by.

The location for this property is its best aspect! We loved that the hotel had a bus stop right outside, and that there were a lot of restaurants/stores on the same road. We also liked having a parking garage included; that was really important because of our car rental.

Great location. Little noisy area at night but safe and convenient.

Very convenient for us to visit our daughter who lives in the Marina.

This is a small chain of 5-6 hotels in SF. Great location. Walkable neighborhoods. Easy to park and forget driving while in City.

Excellent central location and easy parking. Loved how windows opened to fresh air and how interior rooms were quiet. Old fashioned feel and charm. Katrina’s Taqueria across street served delicious quality nutritious food created with care. Highly recommended.

Nice place in great neighborhood. Many restaurants in close wlaking distance. Underground locked parking for security. I paln to leave car in garage and UBER around town.
