Kyes said it appeared at least one shot was fired in or around an elevator at the hotel.
A heavy police presence, including nearly a dozen Chelsea police and Massachusetts State Police cruisers, could be seen outside the hotel on Tuesday morning.
The hotel was deemed safe around 10:45 a.m. after it had been cleared by police.
Detectives reviewed the hotel's surveillance video, which they said provided evidence of the incident. Additional information was developed leading investigators to an address in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood, where Nelson was located by Boston police.
Police said Nelson was arrested based on information provided by a male victim who returned to the hotel and cooperated with investigators.
