Aug 17, 2009, 11:19 PM The hotel was decent..I'm going to leave a review tomorrow. No signs of roaches like the other reviews..it's not the classiest place but the location is great. 2 blocks from the beach so you don't get all the noise from the strip. There is also a convenience store right across the street that has everything... More

Totally enjoyed the experience. The patio is wonderful with amazing music in the evenings. Just a few mins by walk to South Beach. There are plenty of restaurants right across the street and you can find food anytime. The hotel staff are very friendly. We did a late check in. Around 1Am and the person at the front desk went...

Our first impression of this hotel was very good as we did not expect much from a 3 star hotel. For a small, boutique style hotel, it was very clean, cozy and comfortable. All the staff we encountered were nice, friendly and courteous. We had 3 people share 1 room with 2 double beds, and this was more than enough... More

I'd prefer to stay in a unique, boutique hotel over a large chain, so this place was great for me. I really liked the art deco exterior. The lobby was small, but well appointed. There is a nice little lounge bar and outdoor seating. The room had a King Size bed with a flat screen tv. The room was cozy,... More

I was extremely skeptical when I booked this room b/c I'm a Marriott rewards member and I'm used to nice rooms & service. I thought this unfamiliar hotel would be disappointing (bug invested/dirty). Surprisingly it was very clean. No bugs. A/C wasn't so easily adjustable (extremely cold) and you could here people walking through their room above you. But, I... More

They are listed as only charging a $100 pet deposit with no limit to amount a pets per room. At check in I asked the gentleman at the desk to confirm this information because I... More

Yes, location is good but NOTHING ELSE!! Just spent 2 nights (Sun and Mon) and if I had to be there one more night I would have fled! My friend arrived before me and immediately noticed and reported the tv not working; hours later, still did not work. When I arrived I was sorely disappointed on the limited walking space... More

This "boutique" hotel was clean and in a good location but that's all it had going for it. The rooms are small, dark and not very inviting. The bar area is also small and the atmosphere just wasn't friendly. On two occasions, our room keys didn't work so we had to go downstairs so the front desk could reprogram them.... More

Most places is Miami Beach have one thing in common: You pay a lot for not a lot in return. While Hotel Chelsea is a reasonable place to stay, it's fairly no frills. We stayed here for mainly two reasons: The price was nice and the location is great. Location: The property is located near 10th and Washington in a... More
