My husband and I loved this hotel.I was a little afraid when I read some of the reviews,but I am glad I decided to try it for myself.The atmosphere of the hotel was great and the room was beautiful.The game room only had 1 pool table and a few board games but the lounge and bar were very nice.My husband and I did not get a chance to go to the restaurant but the decor was very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel had excellent service. Everyone was more than glad to help in anyway. Would recommend for romantic getaway. Close to casinos and in a safe area. The room stayed in was in the Chelsea Lite Tower and was very nice. The best part was the King Size bed! It was extremely comfortable and had more than enough pillows. The cleaning service was excellent as well. The staff was eager to help with any and everything they could to make our stay enjoyable.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of service. From check in to check out, the front desk was exceptionally informative and helpful. However, we did have a hard time getting in touch with the concierge each time I tried to call. Nevertheless, the front desk did a great job transferring my call and answering my questions as well as attending to our needs. Chelsea Prime steakhouse is excellent. I would definitely go there again just for the restaurant! The ambiance was romantic with a modern trim. The food was delicious, and the service was again impeccable. The only thing I would like to see improve was the cleanliness of the hotel room. The bed was super comfortable, but the bathroom was a bit dusty. Nothing that would make me too disgusted, but I would expect something better from the hotel. Also, when we arrived, soap wasn't available. We had to call housekeeping twice in order for soap to be brought up (the second time the soap came right away).

Overall though, we had a very nice stay and would like to see further improvements as there is much potential in this new hotel. We will be looking forward to staying here again!

I had read about the Chelsea a month or two ago but have not been to Atlantic City for almost a year. Once my Thanksgiving weekend plans firmed up, I decided to try and book a room at one of the casino hotels for Saturday night. I went to ac.com and one of the first selections that came up was the Chelsea- I booked it right away. Was unsure if it would be too "far" away from the action at first but I used the interactive map on your website to realize it was adjacent to Tropicana. although the spa and fitness center advertised were not yet open, I DID get an upgrade to Luxe room from Lite room and a lower rate. Really enjoyed the roaring fireplaces on the Fifth floor and the ground floor coffee shop restaurant for Sunday lunch. Will definitely return to this hotel again, it is a great alternative to the existing inventory of boardwalk hotel rooms.

If you are looking for a non-casino hotel that isn't one of the nasty motels on the boardwalk, this is the only one that I know of. There may be others down either end of the boardwalk, but this location is the most convenient, right next to the Tropicana, with a side entrance that might as well be in the the Tropicana.

The hotel itself was very pleasant and modern. It was clean and staff was friendly.

I was there in the fall so couldn't take advantage of the pool, but stopped by the 5th floor lounge area and it was pretty chic.

Probably best for younger couples and singles, bachelor/bachelorette parties or quick weekend getaway.

My husband and I had a weekend getaway at Atlantic City over the Labor Day weekend. We were pleased with our room and the service at the hotel. Just be careful when you are booking your room, a "water-view room" does not mean "ocean view". The room and hotel was extremely clean and neat at all times. Staff were also friendly and helpful. The pool is absolutely fabulous and the hotel location is great. Would recommend this hotel to friends, however, it is a little pricey and renovations are still underway.

I selected the Chelsea because I heard GREAT reviews about the hotel. Boy was I wrong....First when I checked in the hotel did not have my reservation after I called AC.com to confirm it the day before I checked in and it was booked for the incorrect day. Thank God I remembered to bring all my paper work, The Lobby its self was very nice, and so was the first tower...Our tower was not nice at all. The Chelsea looked like it purchased an older hotel and just gave it a paint job, the room smelled and was very dirty. I have stayed at many hotels in the area down there and will never use the Chelsea again. Needless to say I got a nice deal on a not so nice hotel.

First impression: the lobby is very nice with warming fireplace.
When we got to the room, I was surprised how tacky the decor was. It is OK now while all is new, but 2-3 years from now it is going to look like the cheapest of sleazy motels. It looks like this was done purposely to inspire some feeling of "old atlantic city" but I cannot stress how tacky it is. Give me the Borgata any day. Also, the TV is nice but there are exposed wires everywhere. Looks sloppy and might be dangerous for small children.

I read other reviews that say how close the Chelsea is to the Tropicana. NOT in January. It is about two city blocks away and in twenty degree weather you are forced to take a $6 cab ride or carry a winter coat with you all night.

In the summer this might be a nicer experience with the pools open and the beach and a casino within walking distance. But winter is a different story.

The fifth floor is nice but has a stuffy feel. We stopped in to check it out and have a drink before heading out for the night. We found only one tiny bar with a long line (on a saturday night) and were amazed that there was not a single TV to watch the football game. Looks like a nice place to have dinner but the fifth floor is NOT the place to stop by for a beer and some laughs with friends before heading out.

All-in-all, if I were going to AC with some friends and we were all in our twenties this would be a very viable option. Price is good for the room but beware of hidden costs and expensive food.

Finally, I have to say that the valet guys were VERY trustworthy.
I accidentally left over $1000 in my car for about an hour and when they brought my car for me, it was still there untouched.
