The hotel was clean and the staff was very pleasant, helpful. The only downside was the outside noise as our room was on the alley side

It was easy to check in and the room was dated but clean and fine. My biggest complaint is that this is not a bargain hotel but they don’t straighten up the room for you. I am fine if for conservation purposes they don’t change sheets or towels when you are only there for a couple of days, but someone should make up the room each day.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Property is at a great location with on site parking that makes it so convenient. Staff was amazing, provided great information for getting around, dining, etc. I couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the area.

Post office noise

I give it 4 stars for one reason. The hotel is next to the post office. If you have a room in the back, you hear mail trucks being loaded at 3 in the morning. Got a lousy night's sleep. Other than that, the Chelsea is always consistently good in all other categories.

Excellent central location and easy parking. Loved how windows opened to fresh air and how interior rooms were quiet. Old fashioned feel and charm. Katrina’s Taqueria across street served delicious quality nutritious food created with care. Highly recommended.

The location for this property is its best aspect! We loved that the hotel had a bus stop right outside, and that there were a lot of restaurants/stores on the same road. We also liked having a parking garage included; that was really important because of our car rental.

Pleasant stay in a great neighborhood.

We enjoyed our time there. The place was convenient to shopping and restaurants. It was very clean even the halls, the elevator, and the stairwell. We felt safe.

We had a great quick stay here, hotel was nice and clean, room was super cute and comfortable, check in and check out was super easy and best of all Safe Free parking! Highly recommended this hotel and I love the area, feels very safe. And if you are a Harry Potter fan you must go to the bar across the street Wizards and Wands! It’s magical!!

Close to many restaurants great staff friendly came to the city for a doctors appointment. Had a great dinner and a good night. Sleep could use a new mattress and a little updating in a room otherwise it was great.

Clean, surprisingly spacious rooms with updated features while still preserving bit of San Francisco's architectural charm. At the corner of Fillmore and Lombard, it's an excellent location for enjoying the Marina district, Presidio, Fort Mason, etc. I expected it to be noisy, given that the Fillmore is quite lively at night, but it wasn't noticeable from our room. Free parking in that area is definitely a bonus. The underground gated garage was clean and well-lit. It was easy to park a compact car, but might be a tight fit for larger vehicles when mostly full.

Worth staying & will come back again!

This was a great 2 night stay! I will definitely come back again! - The hotel is located in a great area with restaurants, bars and ways to get around the city. We walked everywhere. - The room was spacious, clean, and had an air conditioner - Parking was free & is located in a garage below the hotel - You need key access to enter the parking garage & elevator, which made us feel safe. - There is NO refrigerator but they did have an ice machine on the floor - Staff was nice and had everything ready for us when we arrived.
