The Chelsea

Trick or Treat

I thought I would be tricked by the nice photos of this hotel, but everything was just as photographed. With the price I paid, I wasn't expecting to be dazzled, but overall, it was a pretty good treat.

" The place has style"

This place doesn't try too hard. It has style and substance. Look, for what I paid , I certainly got my money's worth. The 5th Floor feels like home with fireplaces and a living room. The Chelsea location is also part of the appeal. The Tropicana and Ceasar's close by, and right on the beach too. Nice!

Stay here only if your good wit keeping your cool.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel the peak of the summer. Hotel of course offered us a unbeatable deal. I arrived at the Chelsea maybe wit to high of expectations.When we arrived for check in there was no kiosk like other hotels to check into..Fine w/e but to wait in a line for 20 min.to inform front desk of our reservation..was still cool,but after checking in with hotel staff at 5pm was told that a room would not be available for at least 2hrs..There goes other reservations!!! We where told that we could sit at the bar..they did relieve us our baggage..The hotel is beautiful for being older..and is convenient to the boardwalk with your own section at the beach..when we finally got our room..it face the motel 6 with a broad view of working girls..Very angry ask for immediate room change..they granted us that with a late check out.so they did score a 5 in customer service..I'm not knocking the hotel but if your are looking for luxurious this is not the hotel..but short of funds but not a motel person..but want a adult atmosphere then the Chelsea is for you JUST KEEP YOUR COOL!!!!

Great hotel if cool design & comfort is your priority

Not a casino hotel, which can be a bonus for some. If you can get a Ocean view room these are really bang overlooking the beach and wonderful. They have very few of these, so watch out you don't get a "partial" view instead which is very partial... Service was top notch, friendly and accommodating. The crab cakes/puffs at the diner on ground floor were spectacular! Good breakfast there too.

Wow what an experience!

This hotel is so elegant and pleasant. Had a wondeful stay. Comfortable beds, nice size room. Bathroom was nice but water pressure in shower could be better. Service was great. Would stay again. Only other con is it is at the end of the atlantic city strip.

great hotel, low on service in the off season

Came for a girls weekend mid-week. Great hotel, great location, but simple requests for things like towels or restaurant recommendations were lacking as there was often only one person at the desk. I would definitely go back (so cheap!) b/c it was pretty classy. Great to be in AC with no casino in the hotel.

Loved it, will come again, and bring a friend.

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to go and relax. Although it was cold, Atlantic City was our choice. Finding The Chelsea at such a great price was right up our ally. We are not gamblers so we wanted to find a lo-key location that was close to everything. The Chelsea is right at the Boardwalk and next to a casino for that moment you feel you are lucky. We were also able to experience to onsite spa, Sea Spa. It is still fairly new so there were not a lot of services offered. For us that was fine because all I needed was a Deep Tissue Massage. The decor was nice and clean. The retro look and feel was in full effect! From the diner all the way to the spa. We spent a few extra dollers and got the water view room which was well worth it. From what I saw as I was walking around outside, I would not want to look at from my Lux room. The room seemed a tad bit small, the bed was the focal point, and I see why. Forget trying to steale towels or robes, I was trying to figure out how to get the bed out the room. The staff was very courtious and helpful. We have already decided to return next year (in the summer) with friends. Even if you do not eat dinner, you must visit the Chelsea Prime, just for the view! Other reviews complained about the club on the 5th floor. I was not bothered by it at all, I was just upset that I was too tired to enjoy it myself.

love it!

Was able to stay and relax with a baby! All the staff were wonderful and really helpful. Will be back soon but without the baby!

Old hotel that doesnt seem to own a vacuum

Absolutely NO amenities. No microwave, no coffee, no information in the room about local attractions or hotel offerings. The hotel claims to provide free bikes, but, the bikes are only available for boardwalk use (and only until 10am) and they only have three bikes. We were here on a very very not busy day, and STILL were unable to get the bikes. The hallway to our room appears to have been vacuumed back in the 60s which matches the worn out decor. The bed was comfortable, and our view was nice, however, the complete lack of any amenities (such as ANY sort of "normal" hotel coffee, newspaper, etc) really is a big downer and makes the hotel seem chintzy. We opted out of staying at the similarly-priced, nearby Hilton or Marriott, but now wish we had not.

Great Place!

It's now my new favorite place in AC. The best bang for your buck. Beautiful rooms. Fun atmosphere. Great Location

Amazing

The best place to stay in Atlantic City.
