Motels in the Chelsea, Massachusetts, Area

Chelsea, Massachusetts, is located directly across the Mystic River from Boston. The intersecting Chelsea River is an industrialized river, home to factories, oil companies and airport freight businesses and therefore is mostly inaccessible to the public. However, once a year there is a Chelsea River Revel, which opens the river to free kayaking and tours of the creek. For the rest of the year, Boston's Esplanade offers 17 miles of paved and dirt paths along the Charles River for runners, bikers and inline skaters. Charles River Recreation rents canoes and offers evening kayak tours. South Boston has a sand beach where kiteboarders glide along Pleasure Bay. You can also visit Arnold Arboretum, a 265-acre preserve operated by Harvard University that displays over 4,5000 species of plant life. Although there is only one hotel in Chelsea, there are many budget accommodations to choose from in the area.
