The Chelsea Motel is a creative artistic endeavour that made our stay memorable. The ambience and decor was a feast for the senses, I only wish the cafe had been open while we were there. However, the motel is close to many delectable dining options. We’re glad we found this gem on our road trip.

Small, roadside motel but once inside, you realize it’s run and taken care of with lots of love and pride. All rooms are uniquely but tastefully decorated in an eclectic, vintage style. Rooms are clean. The necessary quality amenities are provided (some for a fee but the basic ones are complementary). I enjoyed the restaurant which had good live bands playing both nights that I was there. I also loved the boutique with artisanal products at the reception. The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff really stood out to me. Without me asking, they picked up on me not being so keen on the room I had booked, and they offered to transfer me to another top room they had. They got it cleaned up and ready for me very late at night just to make sure I’d have the best possible stay. I was touched by their attentiveness and friendly attitude and hospitality. The dining room staff was also so welcoming. They offered me to stay for the show even if I don’t have a meal or drink. (I ended up having some snacks anyways and enjoyed the night!) Another perk is coffee/tea available all day in the main building. I would stay again if I’m visiting the Chelsea/Wakefield area.

Overall very good-great decor and fun nostalgia items in the rooms. Difficult to wheel luggage to room- just need a few pavers between the parking and sidewalk alongside the motel. Need larger bath towels. Need hand soap. Entrance to parking from road would be much easier to find at night with a reflector. Small changes that would lead to rave reviews!

Motel Chelsea is a gem and I hope more folks stay here! The attention to detail is hard to put into words- you need to make sure to look all around your room for the beauty of the styling and vintage items. Our apartment was immaculate except for the kitchen garbage can had been overlooked and had not been emptied. The bathroom was large and squeaky clean. The on site restaurant was delicious and had great service. I would stay here again and might ask that the staff include some extra info for apartment renters regarding needing to enter through an unmarked door. Any gripes are truly quite small- this place was just wonderful!

I loved that each room was unique, very well decorated, high end finishes. Only a 7 minute d4ive to old chelsea where we had dinner. Inside the main area they had a bar and dinning as well with a cool store. We really enjoyed our stay

This little motel is an unexpected gem! Beautiful rooms (with gorgeous bathroom), extremely friendly staff. We stayed in the Palms room, lots of wonderful details that made the stay extra enjoyable. The only thing not perfect was the bed and pillows were a bit hard for my liking (my husband slept well though, so this is a personal preference only). And, without a shade in the bathroom, the room was quite bright from 6am on (as the door to the bathroom is glass so lets the light in). Other than that, our stay was perfect!

What a wonderful find. I travel a lot for work and was looking for something a little different this time. Rooms are great, bed is fantastic. Shower is great too!

We had a one night stay after a visit to the Spa Nordik. The staff is so friendly and check-in was fully explained and easy. The room was beautifully appointed, clean, and comfortable. We also had access to coffee and tea whenever we liked. The restaurant served an amazing dinner and we had drinks at the bar. We will definitely stay here again!!

Nice Spot! We stayed after being at Spa Nordik for the day. We checked in late and went over to the restaurant attached to the motel. The Korean chicken sandwich was amazing and the service at night was friendly and excellent! We were startled to someone pounding on our door at 11pm though. Seemingly our neighbours feeling that our TV was a bit loud? Not a great experience to be honest. The restaurant was too busy in the morning to have breakfast as it is a local spot. The greeting when we asked about a table and were treated fpoorly, as if we were dumb.

We loved our stay at the Chelsea Motel. They went above and beyond to make our anniversary stay with them feel very special. The decor is so fun, modern, and inviting and the quality of the amenities were impressive. A very comfortable, lovely stay and we will definitely be back.

It was so charming and they really did well restoring the rooms. They were clean and we had everything we needed. The Dyson hair dryer was a nice surprise. Love the Bluetooth option for the room key. The only thing that I could say is that the bath towels need to be larger.

We loved staying in this funky motel. We will definitely stay again when we visit the area. Very helpful and friendly staff. Susan
