Beautiful gem of a hotel!
Our stay at the Chalet was one of our top hotel stays ever. The rooms are lovely with quaint historic decor and atmosphere, quiet despite central location to entertainment and restaurants, and top notch staff. Will stay again!

Romantic, charming get-away!
Beautiful hotel, pool was lovely! Surrounded by lush gardens and greenery. Gas lanterns make things even more romantic. Tons of places to walk to nearby, bakery, brunch spots, walk to merchants row for shopping. Highly recommend a stay in the train car! Gorgeous

The hotel was beautiful! We originally got placed in a room where the a/c wasn’t working properly and they moved us to a different room and we had 0 issues. Location was central and near a lot of restaurants and things to do!

Great location
Very good location and parking. Room adequate but very poor lighting. Stayed two nights but no cleaning/servicing during our stay. Concierge very helpful and adjacent bistro Elsie’s daughter was excellent.
Overall a good place to stay but could do with a little updating maybe.

It states on this app that you get VIP access as a gold member and that isn’t true, but the hotel is clean and nice. We stayed here before they redid it and it’s definitely more attractive now.
