We arrived at Chelsea Inn around 1:15 pm today. There was no body at the front desk. We waited for over 20 minutes, and still no one showed up. I tried to contact Expedia for help and not able to get any response. I finally have to book another hotel on Expedia.com. I am very disappointed with my booking. I like to get my refund from Chelsea Inn since they are not able to check in my reservation. Also I paid two Lift rides to get to the hotel

I showed up and should have left without going inside… because drugs and sketch happening all in the parking lot. Went into the he’ll hole only to be told no reservation. I was going to cancel it anyways because it was awful!! Literally drugged out people in the hall and lobby. So I was fine that they didn’t ’have My reservation’ ans happy to leave. Now comes the fun part, making sure they don’t charge me because I guarantee that money was spent on drugs already. Take note. When I left the parking lot a cop pulled me over to see what I was doing there. After realizing I was not high as a kite he informed me to stay away and steered me in a better direction.

This property shouldn’t be listed, when I arrived to the location at midnight (I had just flown into Anchorage). Soon as I exited the car, someone yelled at the window we don’t have room for you. I asked if I could at least come in out of the cold? NO! Someone exited the building and I was greeted with a pungent smile of B.O. and urine, this was a gift and a curse I’m guessing. It took 4 days to get refunded, but I had to drive around the city trying to find other accommodations which is hard after midnight. Most places everywhere stop booking after 11 pm. (Just what I’ve heard) -5 stars.

This place is dangerous and unsafe, main door was locked. Once I got access in, the “front desk guy” handed me a piece of crack or meth. I don’t know what it was but it was in foil paper, long story short there was no room available, they were “sold out” and I was mistaken with a junkie buying drugs. I feel blessed I didn’t have to stay there. Waiting for Expedia to refund me

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was a disaster that the quality of looked nothing like the picture in the listing. There were broken windows, unprofessional hand scribbled notes on the door, homeless bums around the area and by the door; which was locked so we couldn't get in and there was no one inside to let us in either. The area in general felt VERY unsafe! This "hotel" stole my money. We had to go find a hotel elsewhere.

This hotel seems to make their business on housing poor immigrants and homeless on public funding. Nothing wrong with that and the hotel is by far the least expensive in town. You should be aware of this before booking, otherwise the security at the doorbell and the checkin looks weird. Staff does a good job given the conditions, rooms are reasonably clean.
