We stayed here for the night before catching an early flight out of Atlantic City Airport so my experience of the hotel is limited. We were on the higher floors and had a good view of AC.

We had the most uncomfortable nights sleep we have ever had in a hotel for several reasons. There appeared to be a party going on in the room above us all night and despite calling reception several times, the noise stops for a short while and starts again. Can I blame the hotel for this, really don't know. However the sheets in the beds were the worst i have ever slept on, we ended up taking the top sheet off because it made our body itch, maybe they didn't use any conditioner on this batch. Since we only stayed one night I didn't get a chance to find out whether we were just unlucky.

The hotel building is old but they have done their best to cover this up but this is no 4 or 5 star hotel by any standard, 3.5 probably.

Didn't stay long enough to offer a view on anything else, there is parking in front of the hotel from 7pm to 7am I think, so if you are staying to catch a flight you can park for free otherwise i think nearby car parks are about $15 a day.

We stayed at The Chelsea on the night of November 24th for my husband's birthday. Got an awesome deal on Priceline.com. The hotel is reminiscent of one of the Art Deco hotels in South Beach Miami. The decor reminds me of Mid-Century Mod. Very sheek.

We were in room 1016, which is on the 10th floor, right off the elevator. The room was very spacious and the decor was simple, modern; again with that Art Deco feel. Large king bed with a white duvet (which seems to be the trend in most hotels lately). The bathroom was clean and had simple decor, but one drawback was the REALLY LOUD flushing toilet. I can understand they want the toilets powerful to flush down whatever gets thrown in there, but boy, it was loud! LOL There was an alarm clock that had an iPod docking station built in. Was able to have some nice "mood" music for the evening.

When we got to our room we put the heater on, but it wasn't blowing out warm air. Called the front desk and in less than 10 minutes, they had a really friendly maintenance guy, Ronny, up there and fixing it. It was no big deal especially since AC was recovering from hurricane Sandy. Had a nice chat with him. It really wasn't any big deal. Got to chat with Ronny while he got the unit warming up.

One other little thing I'll mention is the smoke detector blinks red when the lights are out. If you are sensitive to light (like I am) bring a sleep mask. But again, no big deal.

We had breakfast at the restaurant Teplisky's, which is part of the hotel. Great breakfast. Would have loved to had some spa treatments, but we'll go back again for that!

Overall, it was a very pleasant, yet short stay. Very friendly, accommodating staff.

A personal note: Those who have complained about this place are usually the personalities that will complain about anything & everything. When you put out positive vibes, you get positive results. And yes, there are sometimes when accommodations just do not meet up to your expectations; I get that. Just look for the positive in every situation. Just a little note.

Thank you Chelsea for a nice time!

If you want to take a step back in time and enjoy the art deco age with no casino distractions then this is the place for you. I especially enjoyed the decor in the art deco room of black, brown, white and greenish-turquoise velour drapes. The game room area and club had the feel of old time Atlantic City when it was in its glory. Pictures on the wall show of a time gone by showing the former Miss America pageant, etc. I had a groupon and if I could get the same deal, I would go back. I recommend staying in the tower where you can have a nice view of the water and open your window. On the 19th floor, the view of the beach is beautiful. The staff couldn't have been nicer and the bedding and bed were very cushy. One thing I was not in favor with was the Teplitzkys breakfast. It was quite pricey and I would not recommend the pancakes as they were doughy and heavy. Service was just ok for a $50 breakfast for 2. Overall, I would visit again if I could get the tower room as the ones on the lower level appear to be "party rooms."

My hubby and I spent a night at the Chelsea for our wedding anniversary. We had a Groupon special rate of $109 for a bayview room with king size bed. It was a tremendous value! Check in was SPEEDY! The receptionist saw I had requested synthetic pillows and called for them before I got to the room. In fact, the housekeeper arrived to the room the same time as I did, switched the pillows out and I was good to go. The room is spacious, yet cozy. The ceiling has a paint which sparkles. The decor of the room and of the lobby is very "Miami Fl, Northeast." I called them Fontaine Bleu effects :) There is a flat screen TV, but it is analog. There is an I pod docking system. Towels were fluffy and plentiful. Huge closet space. I wish there had been a room safe. Otherwise, I will definitely return to this hotel in the summer for a weekend trip. The boardwalk along the strip of hotels was not damaged post Hurricane Sandy. Valet parking is $10/day and they took good care of the car. We did not dine in the restaurant. There was a mix of middle aged couples and of folks in their twenties in attendance at this hotel.
