Overall, it's good bang for the buck. Old but kept well. Only issue, my shower drain was slow to drain, needed a snake down it. Great location. Just make sure and ask for a room away from busy road that runs in front.

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.

Charming, Comfortable, and FREE secure parking
Loved the comfort of free gated underground parking garage with stay as well as the security of only having access to garage and elevator to rooms by room key. The bathroom was larger than expected and the room was very cute with the windows. Beds were very comfortable and loaded with pillows. Can add a refrigerator to your room for $5, so highly recommend! The only down side was the noise from the nightlife right next door, but as we were staying for a festival it didn’t disturb our sleep. Will definitely keep this in mind for future stays near Cow Hollow.

The toilet was out of order. The hotel management ignored my complaints. At checkout, I was refused to get the receipt. The worst hotel I have ever stayed.

I was amazed to find this gem for such a low price. Our room had a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the staff was very helpful and polite. The street design is a little counter-intuitive for Uber drivers to find the place and designate a pickup spot, but that's certainly not the motel's fault. As others have mentioned, the weekend night noise is a bit disruptive, but it's not horrible.

Confident location and inn to stay in. Room was quite clean. Bathroom was clean and well prepped. Could take a bath if you wanted. Outside is pretty noisy and can keep you up if you’re not prepared.

Saturday night there was loud music from a nearby business until 2:30am. The police would not respond to this issue. Could not sleep. Sunday and monday nights no issues.

Response from Chelsea team on 23 Jun 2023
Hello Charles,Thank you for your feedback, the noise during the weekend is a plague for all our guests, but calling to the police continuously is the only way to stop them eventually in the long run. We appreciate your help and we hope it will stop someday.We would recommend you to stay in a room with a King bed during the weekends to avoid the outside noise as we offer interior rooms with this room type.

Nice stay but they don’t care about improving
It was good and could have been better if 1) there wasn’t a cot in the room because we did not request it, 2) the safe worked the entire time and not only once and 4) the shower gel and other items in shower weren’t almost empty. I told someone at front desk thinking they would appreciate knowing for the next guests and seemed like they could care less by staying safe probably needed batteries and we should have called for more. No, good service means you take care of those things like refilling shower gel up front.

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).

This hotel was one of our favorites out of six different hotels we stayed at overall in CA. Big plus is the free parking both under the building, and or ground level across from where you check in. A special thank you to a hotel clerk named Jasper. Super nice guy, a big asset to this property I feel. Our room was rather large, very clean, with comfortable beds. Only negative I'd say on this property , and I've seen it in other reviews but didn't believe it ,our room directly faced a rather loud bar called Jax on. You can hear rather loud music till about 2:30 am. That said, we still managed to get to sleep overall, but if you are booking this place ,see if you can ask for a room NOT across from that bar. Saturday night was when the bar was a big annoyance, Sunday night seemed all ok after 8-9pm bar closed . Still and all as to GREAT location, price, cleanliness, self parking I'd highly recommend Chelsea ..maybe pack some ear plugs, haha though they didn't help...
