The hotel and our room were very clean and well maintained. The room was basic, even a bit larger than I had anticipated. The window opened which I loved to get some fresh air. We ended up loving the Wharf area, and this hotel was about a 30 minute walk there, or there is a bus stop right outside that will bring you there. Overall, we loved our time here.

Been coming here 10-15 years and don't like the cu backs. There was always a big bowl at check in with fresh fruit, gone. Use to use small coffee bit with good coffee and now tiny dilver dollar size packets that make a cup of brown flavorless coffee! Really bottom line privide a decent coffee maker!!

At time of departure could not locate cart to take luggage to car. Asked staff said wait 5-10 min if not there could get a second one. We ended up making 3 trips to car and luggage cart never showed up and that took at least 25 min. Staff should have gotten us the 2nd cart and not asked us to wait!!

Good sized rooms. Excellent location. Muni stop and Big Bus tour stops directly in front of the hotel. Many restaurants, corner stores, bars, and clubs nearby. Easy access to nearly any part of the city. Provided toiletries. Hot water for long showers never ran out. Housekeeping services upon request. Even though it is an active hub of the city, it was relatively quiet and none of us had trouble sleeeping. Could see a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge from our window. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

The facility is well located downtown with good views depending on your room.
You need to ensure you have plans for meals as the place does not offer free microwave or fridge. These are purchased separately which was different from what I always find as standard in other similarly priced hotels.

Ok hotel for the price but be warned if your room faces Lombard street and it is the weekend- Between the crowd of people in front of the bars, the music, and the traffic it can get loud and will keep going until about 2:30am. Bring earplugs or headphones or ask to be moved to another room.

This is a great place to stay when visiting SF. The location is perfect and the free underground parking was a huge benefit. It isn’t the kind of place to stay if you want to hang out at the hotel, but if you’re like me and pretty much only sleeping there, it is perfect. The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable.

I've stayed at several hotels in the Marina, and Chelsea Inn has been among the best. It's clean and comfortable, with spacious rooms, reliable Internet, and ample parking - including a secure underground garage. It's also within convenient walking distance of lots of stores, restaurants, and SF sites.

It has its shortcomings. While the bathroom was large and clean, the water pressure for the shower was weak, and setting the right temperature took some precision.

The AC unit made odd noises, though it worked fine.

One of the bulbs in the overhead lights was out.

Also, note there's no fridge or microwave (at least not in the room I had).

Those are all relatively minor quibbles. All in all, this is a fine moderately priced hotel for the Marina. It'll remain on my short list of places to check next time I'm in the city.

We asked to change to an interior room because the hotel is at the very busy and somewhat noisy intersection of Fillmore and Lombard. Staff was very accomodating and consequently we hardly heard anything. It was easy to get public transport, and the hotel is reasonably priced. The free parking is a huge bonus, saving us $30-70 a day. Many good places to eat in walkable distances. The Marina District is nice and we walked many places at night with no worries about bums or crime. Easy to get to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass from here, either by bus or car.

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.

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 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 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.
