text: Well unlike most of the other reviewers I experienced The Chelsea at a conference for work and so I was listening to speakers deliver presentations rather than bands and DJs playing music I thought the acoustics were great and the seating was relatively comfortable I also liked the duecor especially at the front lobby area On the last day of the conference they did have some music so I got to experience a little of the bouncing and the reverberating bass problem But the organizers had thoughtfully provided earplugs so all us tech geeks would not freak out about it LOL Overall I have no complaints for this venue
