RAMON, Omaha

Disliked: Staff & service
contactless, yet humanless response. Called thousands of times in front of the front door and never responded. Quite frustrating trying to communicate with a human being over the phone after 3pm. There is no elevator and my room was located on the the fifth floor. Awfully inconvenient for those carrying their own luggage.

Check the details well before booking

The Chelsea Inn is an ok stay. The location was good and accessible but the facilities are far from great. I was on the 5th floor with no elevator and the stairs are narrow. I was able to get help taking my luggage up and down which helped a lot. The room was small but ok. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I had to share a bathroom with another room which made the stay uncomfortable. The hotel also promises high level cleanliness and the room was not so clean. I found used tissue on the window seal and a bag with veggies in the fridge.

Great place. Very convenient to subway lines. Many bars and restaurants nearby. Temp controls worked great. Water pressure excellent in shower. Small room and no elevator, but this did not bother me.

Property is conveniently located on west 17th between 5th and 6th avenues in Chelsea. No elevator so it may be an issue if you have trouble with stairs. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great bargain if you are willing to travel minimally. No elevator, so walk up to rooms, which are small, but clean and efficient. Great location for visiting Chelsea.
