Reviews for Chattanooga Choo Choo
Dog friendly travel with live music and great food
My MIL, husband, dog and myself all stayed in a lovely 2 room suite. It had a couch pull out bed as well as two bathrooms which was amazing. It was well appointed and very clean. We loved the mid-century modern aesthetic all around. They were very welcoming to our dog and even provided a bed for him. The grounds were well kept and charming. The restaurant, Elsie's Daughter was delicious, service was great, Jodi took amazing care of us. They even had live music from LVNDR (Maria) which was a special treat for us. We will definitely stay here again and can't wait to stay in one of the train car rooms when we can come back for a romantic weekend getaway. If you're on the fence, definitely do it, you'll love it!

The best hotel experience I've had.
This hotel is top notch! I have visited so many hotels across multiple states, and this one takes the cake. As soon as you walk in, you can feel the history and see the beauty of this place. My significant other and I stayed here for a week, and during the time, the staff was nothing but accommodating and kind. The room was spacious and very clean. The restaurant, Elsie's Daughter, which is located right behind this hotel, itself is an experience. It breathes cozy while also feeling luxurious. The bartender, Chris, was great at his job and was open to making new drinks at my significant others request. The overall experience was 5/5. I could not recommend it more.

Amazing Drinks and Amazing Food
We booked a stay at the Chalet in Chattanooga and ended up extending due to a winter storm — and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and everyone we interacted with was welcoming and helpful. During our stay we tried Elsie’s and it quickly became a favorite. The food was fantastic, the cocktails were well-crafted, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We especially want to shout-out Chris at the bar — not only is he talented, but he’s genuinely fun to chat with. He even collaborated with us on a custom salted caramel chocolate martini that turned out amazing. It’s those small, personal touches that make a trip memorable. Overall, our winter getaway turned into something special thanks to both the Chalet and Elsie’s. We’ll definitely be returning!

Amazing place to stay
My husband and I stayed here for a quick anniversary trip. We rented one of the train cars and absolutely LOVED it! Lots of character and charm not only in the train car but the hotel it’s self! The prices were fair as well, especially being in the part of town we were in. It was fairly quiet considering the area as well. There is a ton to do locally and close without even having to drive. Somethings are farther away to walk but doable! The hotel staff were amazing, ? Trey ? Not sure on name spelling- so friendly, and kind!! The barista was new there she said and she was super sweet as well.

Chris made out experience unforgettable!
Elsie’s Daughter is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of character. You can tell this place is special and run with heart. A huge shoutout to Chris, our waiter, who was AMAZING. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, he made the whole experience even better. Service like that truly sets a restaurant apart. If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a place that feels like a neighborhood favorite from the first visit, go see Chris at Elsie’s Daughter. I’ll definitely be back!
