A classy, enjoyable hotel.
My family had a lovely visit to the Hotel Chalet. The lobby has real character and this continues in the rooms and on the grounds. We felt very comfortable and relaxed, and we loved Elsie’s Daughter, the charming restaurant as well - don’t miss the crab dip!

Great stay!
The service here is wonderful. Every employ we encountered was friendly and helpful. The hotel has been recently remodeled and is beautiful. We stayed in a train car. Very nicely decorated! As others have mentioned, the lighting is quite dim. Nice for ambiance but a bit hard to see when the sun goes down. The hotel is within walking distance to several bars and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Overall very nice stay
The hotel was beautiful and just a neat place to stay. We enjoyed the lobby and nearby restaurantss. Slightly disappointed that they didn’t have an ice machine but we were able to get ice from the cafe in the lobby. Only other disappointment was that the cardio Echelon treadmills and the machines weren’t working (wanted sign in and password) and the hotel staff did not know how to get them to work.

A Stay Beyond Expectations:
My stay at The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo was simply exceptional. The hotel beautifully blends the historic charm of the Terminal Station with modern luxury, creating a unique and immersive experience. My room was a tranquil retreat, and the service was consistently warm and attentive. The location within the Choo Choo complex provided easy access to dining and entertainment, while also being a convenient base for exploring Chattanooga. From the stunning architecture to the impeccable service, The Hotel Chalet exceeded all expectations, making it a perfect choice for a memorable getaway.

Overall fine but really loud until really late
Overall the stay was fine except for the fact that there was an extreme amount of noise in the lobby until almost 11pm that we could hear in our room and kept my child and I up. I do wish they would’ve encouraged quiet hours. We were on the second floor but one of the first rooms in the hall

Choo choo
Room was very nice. We had a suite. Lots of room. Negative was our internet went out and without it we had no tv. Called front desk multiple times before they finally got around to fixing it. And they did a fire alarm test in the morning, not a fun way to be woken up.

Beautiful Hotel - Room Mix-up + Room Charges
First off, this hotel was beautiful and clean!
There were some service issues - We were given the same room number as another couple and had to go downstairs with the couple to get it sorted out. We had to correct the email address and credit card on file, as well. We were all pretty perplexed on how the mix-up happened.
Also, we were charged $15 + tax for the StillWater in the room, even though we had VIP perks that gave us each a free beverage. I had to ask twice to get the charge removed.
We loved our room once we got the room issues corrected! Everything was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We’d likely stay there again and hope to not have future issues with our room and bill!
