We had written a negative review of the hotel! Fought with our credit card company to delete the charge to no avail. Visa/ AE will protect you! My discussions had been with the on site manager. Before going to the BBB called hotel one more time to resolve problem! Ended up with the General Manger of Historical Inns and he... more

Ideally located as it is very close to Duval street and the sunset pier being in walking distance (15-20 minutes). Parking is not a problem. Rooms however are rather small. Very friendly and helpful staff at reception. A special of this hotel: Breakfast is outdoor at the (small) pool! more

The Good: Clean, larger rooms in the main (historic) part of the house are nice. The Bad: The Inn has tried to capitalize on high demand during high season by expanding the historic part of the house with cheap, very small add-on rooms. If you get one of the larger, historic rooms they are very nice. But the newer rooms... more

It was ok for the money: everything was clean, the location is pretty good and our room had a nice little veranda. It needed it though because the room was small to say the least: when you weren't banging your knees getting out of bed you were being wedged between the vanity mirror and the toilet trying to turn around... more

I read some of the reviews here and was kind of reluctant to book a room here, but I'm glad I did. I picked it because they offer free on-site parking combined with its proximity to Duval Street and most of the island's attractions. Its also very easy to find because it's on U.S. 1. Though the price for a... more

We stayed at the Chelsea House on our honeymoon. They upgraded us to a larger room at no charge which was much appreciated as the initial room we booked was very small. We feel we got a very good value for our money and plan to return in the future. The grounds were very pretty, parking was more then adequate.... more

This Hotel has character, romance & location. Our room was beautiful, large with a king size bed. We were on our honeymoon and although we had reserved a Supreme Queen we were given a King room, which was great, overlooking the quaint street and surrounded by trees! All the rooms appear to be charming with semi private balconies. Beautiful gardens,... more

We booked Chelsea House for our 25th wedding anniversary planning on having a romantic 3 nights. We were lured by the promise of a restored historic home with modern amenities. The in room ac was nice, as was the flat screen TV. But clearly, someone who has never stayed in a hotel re-did these rooms. We booked a "standard queen"... more

We visited Chelsea House in April 07 and loved the place. If your idea of a hotel is posh 'uber' boutique or you have asperations of living in the Ritz then this may not be for you. All the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Well they were helpfull to us.. The american couple who checked in infront of us... more

We stayed for only two nights at the Chelsea House but would happily have stayed far longer. We found the reception staff to be very pleasant and helpful, the room was great , the pool area was gorgeous (as an ardent sun worshipper, I can't relate to one of the previous comments posted, and I've the tan to prove it!),... more
