The staff was super-friendly and inviting. I couldn't stop talking about how charming this place was, nestled right in the shadow of the Trop. Our room was very clean, and bathroom toiletries were provided. We enjoyed a great complimentary breakfast before we departed on Sunday. I would definitely recommend to all of my friends.

Parking was a little tough, but it was New Year’s Eve. Place is neat, clean, historic. A nice place to stay. No elevator, so be prepared to climb stairs.

We happened upon this stay by mistake. We thought it was the Chelsea by tropicana. It ended up being a bed and breakfast. It was quaint, old fashioned, and clean. No elevators cause it was a very old historic building. Not sure if there was a fire escape. Our room got so hot we couldnt sleep. It must have bern 80-85 degrees. No thermostat. No way ti call front desk. However, it was reasonable and a very cute place. Gotta fix that heat situation. When we got home we had to go to bed.

A meticulously-restored Victorian mansion, The Chelsea is a remnant of a bygone Atlantic City. Tucked in the midst of tacky casino towers, a stay here presents a wonderful, quiet alternative for the business or pleasure traveller to the smoke-filled noisy gambling resorts. Clean and comfortable with a friendly staff and very reasonable rates, both parking and a continental breakfast were included in my stay. For all my conference travel to AC going forward, I’ll look to The Chelsea.

A place that reminds you it's so much nicer than the surrounding mega-hotels, but a short walk away from the Boardwalk/beach & surrounding places of interest. Will definitely return next trip to Atlantic City. So nice to chill out on the secluded sunporch or drop down to the bar on lower floor. And the room decor is top notch!

Beautiful & Historic - but not us

After checking in (the manager was very cordial and helpful) and surveying the accommodations, we decided not to stay because of my companion's difficulty in climbing stairs and she was experiencing claustrophobic anxiety due to the small size of our room. Disappointed because I was looking forward to the experience of staylng at the beautiful and historic Inn.

A fantastic, Beautiful Hotel

I stayed at Chelsea Inn during my 1st ever visit to Atlantic City.
The Hotel is beautiful (outside & In), the room had the highest bed I’ve ever slept in & was very comfortable.
Pervious reviews said the Bar (attached to the Hotel) , was noisy, during my 3 night stay I didn’t see/hear anything to indicate a noisy bar.
The staff were all very friendly & engaging.
I would stay at this Hotel again if I return to Atlantic City.

Sleepless in Atlantic City

We slept not one minute. The room looked out over a porch and bright light stayed on the entire night and shown directly into the room right over the bed. The windows were covered with just kind of translucent blinds and light cut and curtains that did nothing to block out the light. I just cannot believe that you rent a room like this and to charge a regular room rate without telling people what they’re in for.

Beautiful old hotel!

Beautiful old hotel! Great ambiance! The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was one thing that I found odd. The shower was open in the bedroom with only a glass brick half wall separating it from the rest of the bedroom, and it was U shaped and open to the rooms hallway to the bathroom and door. This keeps the air from warming up so it is always cool while showering.

Clean, quaint, quiet!

I stayed at the Chelsea for a brief two-night stay during a work trip. It's a cool place! Definitely more of an inn/b&b feel than your standard hotel. Really neat common areas, friendly staff, and well kept. I had a smaller queen room, which was adequate for one person, maybe tight for two. Room was clean and included a tv and fridge, though not a safe. The front desk provided earplugs, but I found the room to be quiet (though it was midweek in the off season - may be a different story at other times).

Location is convenient, probably more so in season. A short walk to the boardwalk/beach,directly across from the Tropicana.

The Pub was a nice little watering hole too. Decent food, friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Overall, I'd recommend The Chelsea Inn!

Unsafe area at night

The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The room was small and there was at least a 3 inch gap under the door that we had to stuff a towel into. There is free parking and breakfast which we decided to skip. The location is next to the Tropicana. We made the mistake of coming back from the casinos late at night and the area becomes overrun with prostitutes, drug users and tons of locals sitting on the steps and blocking the entrance. It doesn’t feel safe here at night and just based on that, we would never stay here again.

Welcome to the Old Atlantic City

The Chelsea Inn gives you a sense of what Atlantic City was like 100 years ago, in the best possible sense. The building and decoration are stunning, the staff is friendly, and the beds comfortable. The photos on the wall and furnishings give you a sense of how much history there is to this town, long before the high-rise casinos and run-down store fronts came to dominate it.

Our room was super clean and staff was very friendly. Parking on site was easy and you could walk to a lot in the area.
The cons were we found no way to change the room temperature or turn on a fan even. The place had super thin walls so you could hear everything going on inside and outside the bldg which made it hard to sleep. Also we had a very firm bed which was tough. We would definitely stay here again but would bring a small portable fan with us.

This was a unique spot the first time we stayed here a few years ago. This visit was not so lovely. Our room was small, had been refitted with badly installed engineered hardwood flooring, and was noisy (right above the vent from the restaurant below) and hot. The breakfast, which in the past had been a beautiful french country buffet, was disappointing, to say the least. Staff was all very friendly. It now has the feel of a corporate operation instead of a quaint inn. I am sorry to see this change in such a lovely little hotel.
