Room was not clean. Got up to the hotel to be told you have to walk about 6-8 minutes to a different hotel to check in. Room had a funky smell. Would not stay again was not worth what we paid.

The hotel sounds great - The Fabulous Chalet Inn. The hidden part is - owned by Econolodge. While this hotel does have decent sized rooms with views of Gatlinburg, the essence of Econolodge still rings true with cheap amenities and room fixings. The staff is nice tho so that’s a perk.

The people were nice, the area was good, but the room wasn’t great. They seemed to have very few customers and the room was a little jank. Definitely a good place if you’re on a budget, the bathroom was even pretty good, however the door frame was broken, the room had a old smell, and the lamps were very crusty and old looking. The walk to the room was weird too. It was kinda sketch tbh. Not very romantic. They also said that there are bears that visit that area very often, so be weary of that if you have kids especially.

One of our favorite places to stay in Gatlinburg

We love the convenience of this place and stay at least once a year. It’s quirky and not super modern, but is charming, clean, and convenient. The service is always good, this trip was no exception, and we will definitely stay again when we’re in the area.
