We enjoyed our weekend stay at the Chalet Inn. It was very reasonably priced and was a rather large room with a beautiful view of Gatlinburg. The room was already warm and cozy when we arrived which was really nice, considering the temps were in the teens! The Inn is obviously older, but the wonders keep it clean and maintained. I would definitely recommend Chalet Inn, especially if you are looking for a quiet place to stay.

The view from the giant window at night was absolutely amazing! Since we were away from all the buildings, it felt so quiet and peaceful, yet the night sky was still beautifully lit up. I loved every moment of it! The only little hiccup was that we didn’t realize we had to sign in at the Econo Lodge front desk, which seemed a bit unusual. But overall, everything else was great!

The continental breakfast was not a breakfast at all. There are minimal items to choose from and nowhere to sit and eat. Only 3 small tables and it is right at the front desk. There were 15 people in this tiny area trying to get some coffee and bagels. I'm not impressed by the continental breakfast and area to eat it at all.

Great stay and location!

Our room was huge! It had access to a lovely patio, and walk way over looking the pool. Room seemed to be updated, and plenty of parking. Well laid out too, you’re never to close to the other parties.

A good bit of lady bugs. Not much you can do there. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. Wouldn’t recommend walking the hill several times a day, but it’s doable. Easy parking and check in. Room was well serviced and timely every morning. Overall, good stay! Would probably book something more directly on the downtown strip next time though.
