So it was in a convenient location with that being said it was also noisy from the people outside it’s pretty clean and the big draw to it is free parking without feeling like your paying for it with the room price overall I’ll be back

This is a great place to stay when visiting SF. The location is perfect and the free underground parking was a huge benefit. It isn’t the kind of place to stay if you want to hang out at the hotel, but if you’re like me and pretty much only sleeping there, it is perfect. The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chelsea Inn! The location could not have been better. We had multiple bus stops within a block. There were plenty of great restaurants and a grocery close by. The room was nice and comfortable, and other than the noise from the street on the weekend, it was fairly quiet.

The rooms are old, but with enough space. The space in the bathroom was a real plus. Parking was difficult due to the cramped space, but at least it was available. The person checking us in was not that great, but the checkout was easy.

Clean and well maintained. Nothing too fancy. No frills. But free parking? In San Francisco? A rare gem on that front. This place is a penny pinchers paradise in a great with many bars and restaurants- easily stumbling distance away

The facility is well located downtown with good views depending on your room. You need to ensure you have plans for meals as the place does not offer free microwave or fridge. These are purchased separately which was different from what I always find as standard in other similarly priced hotels.

I stayed during the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon and the location was perfect. Trek bike shop near by, food not far away and close to race start. The staff were great, rooms were big and bus stop out the front. It really was the best spot for this race. The bath was good post race as well. Overall highly recommend!

Ok hotel for the price but be warned if your room faces Lombard street and it is the weekend- Between the crowd of people in front of the bars, the music, and the traffic it can get loud and will keep going until about 2:30am. Bring earplugs or headphones or ask to be moved to another room.
