The hotel was nice but definitely outdated. The bathroom looked like something out of the 70s. The beds were very comfortable. The location was great- walking distance to beach and casinos. Overall okay stay.

This place is a great value when you're staying the weekend down in Atlantic City. We head down from the Jersey Shore (Monmouth County) down to AC a lot. Revel is an awesome place to stay. As is Borgata. Harrahs and Caesar's are solid. But The Chelsea should not be overlooked. It is on par with The Golden Nugget and... More

I bid on a 4 star hotel in Atlantic City and was placed at the Chelsea. This hotel has two sections. One is a tower overlooking the boardwalk and ocean. The other is the Annex and is behind the tower. We were not given a room in the tower so I cannot comment on that. They gave us a room... More

I returned to the Chelsea again this past April for business. The price was great and they were very accommodating. I don't need the frills of a casino hotel, so this was perfect. However, this time (it was my third stay), the hotel definitely seemed a little worn. The hallways were dark, the carpets in the hallways seemed worn and... More

The Chelsea is a good alternative to paying for an expensive room at the casinos. The Chelsea is a short 5 minute walk to the Tropicana Casino There are a few things to be aware of before booking. First the negatives. They have valet only parking. It is $10 a night and trying to get your car out near check... More

I just stayed at the Chelsea May 10, 2013. We will definitely stay here in the future. The hotel was retro-glam. Our room was super cute and te hotel staff was very accomodating. The front desk allowed us to switch to another room so that we could room next to our friends. Again, our room was cute and clean. Oh...... More

We were looking for the best hotel rate for a good hotel in AC this past weekend, and The Chelsea came up on Priceline with an excellent rate for a Saturday night. I'd heard of the hotel before, and was looking forward to staying there. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient with so many people checking in at... More

What a terrible disappointment. Everything about this experience was a nightmare from start to finish. When I called to reserve, I was given the "best package they could offer": room with water view, $20 voucher for the restaurant, free passes to the spa and free valet parking. From the moment we pulled up to the place, things quickly went downhill.... More

The Chelsea is a great hotel for a weekend in AC. I was there for a bachelor party and the actual rooms are extremely comfortable and clean/well kept. The location is right on the boardwalk and it's just as you come in off 322/40 so you don't have to drive another 20 minutes once you get in through central AC... More
