Outstanding Hotel

Hotel Serivce was extremely good. Room condition was very nice and the comforter and pillows were the best. Location for me was great because my business was right next door. Food was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that goes to Atlantic City. Great room for the money.

great weekend spent at the Chelsea

We spent my husband's 50th birthday weekend at the Chelsea. We were had a partial ocean view room in the tower (save the extra $50.00 for an ocean full front room....this was just fine). The bed was extremly comfortable and we loved the European-style shower. We like to walk so we found the location perfect. there is plenty to eat, drink and shop within walking distance (our favorites were the Tropicana, outlets and Dock's oyster house). We never needed to use our car the entire three days there and always enjoyed a late night walk on the boardwalk. We enjoyed massages at the spa and the whirpool and sauna that came with it. The spa staff were terrific. We were met at the beach with lounge chairs and towels when we requested them even though we were out of season. The bartender at the pool bar made great after-beach drinks and we loved the attatched diner for breakfast(great menu...lots of healthy choices if you prefer). We were there the weekend of September 18th to the 20th. The hotel seemed full with a very diverse population(young to our age and older)...we fit right in. We checked out the night club on the fifth floor and found it a very young crowd(not for us....but looked like people were having a great time). The staff did a great job with customer service.....from the front desk to the spa and everything in between. we will be back to stay at The Chelsea Hotel and tell our friends about it. Job well done to the employees of the Hotel!

Not recomended

We decided to stay at the Chelsey rather than a casino hotel because it's billed as one of the few four star hotels in Atlantic City and seemed more a destination resort. We were there right after labor day and while I didn't expect the Town to be packed, the Chelsey was deserted. The restaurant, club, bar and spa were never open. If the coffee shop was open at all it was only early in the day. A complaint to the desk was no relief except for them to say the whole town was dead. In truth we found Tropicana and Trump to be moderately busy and almost couln't get a table at Cube Libre with no reservation. I saw so few other people at teh Chelsey I came to wonder how they pay their bills. It's on the Boardwalk, but at the end of the strip, so not very close to many casino hotels. All in al a disappointing stay not only because everything was closed, but the room was less than I expected for a four star property.

Key didn't work

Two nights in a row the key to my room didn't work when trying to enter my room. The key was never near a cell phone or anything that would have deactivated the mag stripe.

lovely hotel but felt unwanted there

first i would like to say that we usually stay at casino hotels. We took a chance with this one cause it looks so nice on your website. The pictures were on point. however we didnt realize that there was a charge on ur credit card for everyday u stay that was more than the room rate per day. Which I thought was a joke. Place was lovely but the people there made u feel like u dont belong. everything was close by 10pm which is crazy cause u are in atlantic city the night begins at 10pm. Everytime i tried to go to the spa when its should be open it was close n the gym. and the worst it was far away from the main casino and action. I would recommend if u plan to stay in the room cause it lovely and comfortable but if u want to go have a good time u need to go up to the middle of the casino. almost forgot when they found out where i was from there additude change for the worst.

Nice for the Money

Our hotel room was nice. The mirror in the room was cracked and we found a clump of hair in the shower but overall the room was clean. The beds were very comfortable for a hotel bed and the comforter was amazing. The pool area looked nice, it was one of the main reasons we booked our room, but it rained our entire trip so we didn't get to take advantage of it. Overall we enjoyed our stay but definately wouldn't book again unless there was a special rate, you could tell it was an older hotel that had been remodeled.

Small rooms

Hotel staff mostly accommodating. Rooms in the annex were very small, the bathrooms barely had room for one person but it was clean (other people said their's were not). Breakfast was very nice at the hotel and the restaurant staff was friendly as well.

Outstanding Hotel

My boyfriend and I are "hotel snobs." We prefer to stay in a 4 star or higher establishment when we travel. I found The Chelsea by doing an internet search and it seemed to be right up our alley. When we arrived, The Chelsea exceeded our expectations. The staff was very courteous and friendly, the room (in the tower) was beautiful and the bed was super comfortable. We dined in both of The Chelsea's restaurants and were very pleased with both. I would recommend The Chelsea to my friends and family and hope to be able to stay there again in the future!

GREAT HOTEL, newly renovated, trendy, cheap

The Chelsea was a great hotel to stay at, and considering the deal we got, couldn't really ask for more. It is newly renovated, pretty trendy too, all art deco, very classy and the location was fantastic. It is located right on the boardwalk strip, next to all of the major casinos. Staff was friendly, and very accommodating. If you don't want to stay at a casino hotel in Atlantic City, then this is the place for you. If you really want to stay at a hotel casino, then you'll have to pay a bit more and will only get a basic room like any other.....The Chelsea was definitely a much higher standard of decor and comfort. Two pools, salt water and fresh, several bars, restaurants etc... Stay here!

Maybe bad timing?!?

Second stay at this hotel. My 7:00 pm Sunday arrival coincided with a large concert crowd that were largely unhappy since they were told that they could not check-in between 4-7 pm because of a delay in housekeeping turn-around of available rooms. A 45 minute wait at the front desk, with the clerk leaving the desk to check and see if my room was clean. Ended up with 2 double beds (for 1 person), instead of king that I reserved. Only 1 beach attendant-asked us to drag our own chairs, no towels available til later. Understaffing makes for grumpy workers, thru no fault of theirs! If this was the extent of my experience at The Chelsea, I would not recommend staying here. Summer 2008 was much, much better. I may give them 1 more chance, but for the $$ I would expect better from them! A shame...
