As a returning traveler to Miami for Art Basel and a returning guest at Hotel Chelsea, I would have to rate my stay at the hotel as EXCELLENT! The centralized location can't be beat, the food at the attached restaurant is excellent, and the Management and staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating! Many thanks to the hotel's Manager Zaira, and the wonderful Luis and the helpful Eric at the front desk! I can't wait to stay at the Hotel Chelsea again and I would highly recommend this hotel to any of my friends or family!!! C. Wilkinson

Cleanliness definitely a 1 star, we called down to the front desk to tell them our sheets were dirty and they told us they would deal with it in the morning. The floors were so sticky our shoes were sticking to the floors. Beds were hard as a rock I’ll never recommend this place to my clients.

While this place is in the center of everything and a few blocks from the beach… it’s a hole. Floors are wildly slanted, soft spots in some areas that make you think maybe you’ll fall through. Elevator is the most terrifying thing. The smell of mildew and mold hit you like a ton of bricks the moment you walk through the doors from the cute restaurant front they have. Let’s start there… walked in and was greeted by a nice gentlemen and the scent of mildew and humidity covered window panes - who then answered a call about blood on the sheets - he reassured me many times it was make up; the staff “takes their jobs very seriously about cleanliness”. I chuckled and thought oh my - what have I signed myself up for? I get my card key and room number. I go up, neither key works, door doesn’t even have power to it. I go down, reassigned room. I go up, filthy. Mysterious smudges on sheets so we head back down. Once again given keys to the room where the door isn’t working and instructions that maybe I was swiping the key wrong… nope. He comes up, nothing. We go back down. Reassigned AGAIN. At this point I should have taken the sign but it was so late getting a room anywhere else would have been impossible. Finally in a room, sheets - passable but refused to sleep in them just on the comforter. The beds are old, uncomfortable and every spring makes the comical boing sound. 3 nights of this hell - looking back the best part was the restaurant out front. 2/10 don’t do it.

I recently stayed at Hotel Chelsea, and while the property itself shows promise, the overall guest experience was disappointing. The location is convenient, and the rooms are adequately appointed, but the hospitality and service standards did not meet expectations. During my visit, I encountered a lack of attentiveness from the restaurant staff, who appeared disengaged and more focused on their phones than on guest service—even for hotel patrons. The hostesses, in particular, were not warm or welcoming, which ultimately led me to dine elsewhere despite being an overnight guest. Hotel Chelsea has the infrastructure to offer a memorable stay, but it urgently needs investment in staff development and customer service training. With improved hospitality and a renewed focus on guest engagement, this property could truly elevate its reputation and encourage repeat visits.

The hotel was a bit old. There was no TV. We could not watch TV at all. We asked the gentleman to come up to fix it. And he said there was nothing he could do. You did have to pay for parking which was an inconvenience. The hotel was a bit old. There was a price for breakfast. Some of the employees were friendly and some were not. We would definitely not stay there again.
