CHELSEA PUB AND INN, Atlantic City

The Chelsea is a 3-minute walk from the Atlantic City Beach and 400 metres from Imax Theatre at the Tropicana. Boardwalk Hall, a major events venue, is a 12-minute walk away. The Tropicana Casino is directly across the street, providing easy access to gambling, entertainment, and dining. A local jitney runs on the main strip 24/7 for $2.25 per ride. Atlantic City International Airport is 18 km away. The immediate area can feel intimidating late at night, but the property itself is secure with locked entry and surveillance.

Rooms are older but clean, with charming antique furnishings and updated bathrooms. Some rooms are small, so booking a larger room is recommended for more space. Room types include suites, double rooms, twin/double rooms, and double rooms with 1 or 2 beds. Select a Superior Queen Room or Deluxe Double Full Room if two beds are required. Deluxe King and Premium King Rooms offer claw-foot tubs, which are located on the 2nd floor. Some rooms have an open shower design behind a glass divider; no balcony is available. Window-unit air conditioning is provided, and while effective, it can be noisy. Road-facing rooms may experience street noise, particularly on weekends.

Breakfast includes bagels, English muffins, pastries, fruit, yogurt, granola, oatmeal, coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. On weekends, hot items such as freshly made scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, and a waffle maker are available. Breakfast is served in a charming dining room with an outdoor porch. The pub downstairs, The Chelsea Pub, is open for brunch, lunch, dinner, and cocktail hour, serving sandwiches, salads, and appetizers with excellent draft beer and a full bar. Happy hour runs from 3 to 6 PM. A complimentary drink is offered for direct bookings.

The property features a garden and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture, providing a quiet space to relax. The bar downstairs has billiards tables available for an additional charge. Live sport events are broadcast at the bar. Beach access is a 3-minute walk away, and an outdoor hose is provided to wash off sand. The property has no pool or spa.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Parking is free for one vehicle per room (additional cars $10 each).
