We visit Chetola annually and enjoy the convenience. We stay at other lodging in the area too but always return for the service, comfort and convenience. The grounds are so lovely any time of year and the staff exceedingly kind. We had an issue with our AC ...maintenance was there in 2 minutes and resolved. It's that kind of attention to detail that keeps us coming back. See you in a few months for more mountain adventure!

This is an older property that needs updating. It was not sufficiently staffed. Very overpriced. I know the fall foliage had something to do with what we paid. It was a very standard room two nights $1100 never again had I not been splitting it with friends, I would’ve never stayed there. It seemed they were having staff issues at the front desk and restaurant, bar. Very disappointed.

No greeting when checking in, no thank you when checking out. Stayed there for highly rated restaurant and bar; but it was closed the two nights were there. We had to park in a distant parking lot up a significant number of steps. But when checking out, I watched an employee in an orange jeep take the prime parking spot. I was really unimpressed with the staff overall. Facility was nice, but unappreciative staff earned this rating!

The property is very tired looking. We heard they have new owners so maybe it will improve. Grounds had trash dropped & not picked up for days in common areas. Historical rooms need a full renovation. No usb connectors. Bathroom from the 80’s, furniture too. Windows have a film so views aren’t great. We won’t be back.
