Reviews for Chattanooga Choo Choo
Found solace in the present encounter of the rail travel past
When many of us face the constantly changing fluid reality at a "fork in the road," and I feel like my life has been a repeating train wreck falling apart on its own terms, I decided to pause and step away from the daily environment that offers few solutions. Summer is usually not the best time for a long road trip, but I couldn't be more grateful that I chose to spend my time on a quick getaway at Hotel Chalet (though I prefer to call it Hotel Choo Choo). The staff members are courteous and friendly without making me feel overwhelmed. The ambience, along with the paintings at the hotel, creates a timeless convergence of the past and present, turning what could have been confusing chaos into a soothing alignment of the two parallel universes. There are also plenty of decent local restaurants and charming places nearby to visit. I highly recommend Hotel Chalet, especially if you are a lost soul like me, and also happen to be a first-time traveler to Chattanooga.

A experience we will never forget
Our stay at the chalet was spectacular. We stayed in a train car. And the atmosphere of everything was out of this world. The staff is so friendly and polite. I talked to Jonathan on the phone and I'm glad I did because instead of booking a train car. I had booked a hotel room. He fixed the whole situation for me and even went farther. To give me as many discounts as he could.. We ate at the diner there named elsie's and the food was absolutely delicious and the portions are huge my name is linda and my husband's name is chris. My husband absolutely loves trains and the experience for he and I we will never forget. While we were staying there my husband accidentally parked in the wrong parking lot and we got a ticket I talked to a manager and also sam. Sam had the parking taken care of. Chris and , I feel so blessed that we were able. To meet so many wonderful people during our stay. All the staff managers and everyone was so nice.staying inthe train car will be an experience. We will never forget. Thank you so much.

Not worth the money.
I go to shows at the venue next door quite often. My girlfriend booked a double queen room for us and another couple. We only stayed one night, but even that was too long. The staff was pretty rude/unenthusiastic during our check in. I tried to talk to the front desk for some attraction recommendations, and it seemed like we were more familiar with Chattanooga than the hotel's staff. The walls in the rooms were super thin and we could hear EVERYTHING happening in the next room, which made us paranoid that the neighbors may also be listening in on us. We called the front desk and they said they would do something about the loud noise, but the noise never stopped. All this for a room we paid over $200 for.

Cute 1 nighter, but thats it
Its a nice 1 night stay, maybe 2 but not more. The hotel was clean, there parking out front and while free the $18 are not bad considered other hotels charge more. We stayed in a train car. It was a nice adventure and spacious. Water pressure best in all of chattanooga. One downside. Not alot of storage. I wish they would have kept more of the old train luggage storage racks. The bed was comfy but the pull out couch hsrd as a rock. If you travel with 3 people that 3rd person might not get the best of sleep. Grounds were nice and pool area clean. You are right next to the choo choo train station with a view restaurants and bars. But be aware , they all close by 9pm. The 1 thing that dropped a star: Sadly elsies daughter was closed to due technical problems, they bbqed hot dogs and burgers by the pool instead. Unfortunately the next morning the coffeeshop had no milk either. While the poor barista tried her best to handle the situation, the front desk at check out could care less it felt like. It was a cute 1 night adventure, but not worth the $300/night.

We stayed in a Suite and loved the experience! The vibe feels like stepping back in time but the staff was so friendly and helpful, the amenities were great, everything was clean and comfortable. One member slept on the fold out couch, which is not a mattress but rather 2 long cushions, which he said was decently comfortable also. We loved staying here and would definitely choose to stay here again.
