Came down to Chattanooga to catch a show at The Signal. So I went with the Hotel Chalet for its incredibly convenient location relative to that. The stay experience exceeded expectations. The impressive decor, clean rooms, friendly staff, amenities and convenient location relative to downtown Chattanooga quickly made this a must return for the next time I’m in town.
