“Worst Place in Gatilinburg to stay!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I had made plans to go to Gatlinburg for New Years Eve and have a Ball.... However we were in for a rude awakening. If you want a nice clean room you do not need to look here at all. Upon arrival we checked in and like most everyone we paid cash. That was the first mistake.. Dont never pay here until you look at what you are receiving. We get to the room and my husband checks the bed out first thing....and was he in for a surprise. Sheets had not been changed they were dirty with footprints on them also pubic hair as well....... So we go down to the office and complain. Needless to say I was told to go back up on the hill and find the maid to tell her to come and change the sheets. Also the bathroom had not been cleaned as well, this place was nasty and musty with an old smell that would not leave. However I found the maid and she came and changed the sheets and cleaned the bathroom and was very apologetic and made a phone call to a manager and were supposed to be accomodated upon check out but unfortunately we were told that the problem was resolved and they didnt feel like they needed to accoodate. We hope we did not contract anything with this one nite stay.. Will never stay at any of these properties again...The pictures on the website is a joke.. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CONDEMNED..........

Room Tip: Not any that we were told all are about the same.

“Beautiful property needs help”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We have stayed at this facility on and off since 1999. It has a great view and is quiet, but close to the action in Gatlinburg. However, in the upper chalets, there is a constant problem with getting and keeping a high speed internet connection. They say the router is down in the lower building, but they don't fix the situation. If you need internet, go somewhere else. Also, water in shower will turn hot really fast, then cold. On our last trip, there were a lot of dead bugs on the floor in the bathroom area. When we complained, we were told that means that the exterminators were doing their job. Some tweaks to this property and it could be great once again!

“Very pleasant stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

people found this review helpful

My daughter, son, his girlfriend, and I decided to go to Gatlinburg on the spur of the moment at the end of our fall break. We didn't realize how hard it would be to find a room in Gatlinburg during the month of October. After checking out several hotels that had "no vacancy," we found Fabulous Chalet Inn. My daughter is in a wheelchair and we needed a room that would be large enough for her to get around in. We were placed in a first-floor room right on the creek. It was very clean and pleasant. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. My son and his girlfriend enjoyed walking along the creek. We felt the price was fairly reasonable. (With tax and AAA discount -- about $100) The only complaint we had was that there was no microwave in the room (we had pizza left over that we wanted to warm up). I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Had a great family vaca staying here!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

We came to Gatlinburg with a reservation at another hotel only to find when we arrived they had given our room away. With a one year old in tow that was def tired of being in the car we went on a search for a room. We needed a room that had a seperate bedroom so we could put her to bed and everyone else be able to stay up after 8 w/o bothering her. Fabulous Chalet Inn was the only place we found this kind of room for a great price! The staff was so overly friendly and our room was so clean and perfect for what we needed. I would def recommend this place to anyone. Its def not a Hilton and its old and needs some remodeling but the location was perfect! It was off the main strip but close enough to walk if you wanted. My family and I loved it there and we will def return to the Fabulous Chalet Inn when we are in Gatlinburg!!
