The Holiday Chalet

The room was so gorgeous, and the outside was to die for. I booked because the rooms looked vintage and beautiful, and the hotel was a lovely surprise. The location felt a little sketchy, but they can’t fix that. It was worth every penny, and we’re making it our yearly tradition. Thanks Holiday Chalet 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

The place has a quaint feel, a nice kitchen, a large bedroom with two beds, a little sitting area, and a good-sized bathroom. But it was drab and needed freshening up and cleaning. There were beads all over the room, and I kept stepping on them. The bathroom sink still had toothpaste from the previous guests, and the area rug needed cleaning. The bedspread was so dull it needed cleaning or a brighter one. The heat went off around 2 am, and I couldn’t get it working again. It was cold, and there were no extra blankets. The front windows look out onto the bus stop.

It’s a beautiful place with incredible character, and the Albert Suite was the coolest of the three different rooms I’ve stayed in. I’ve come back for a third visit, so that says a lot. The only issue was that we couldn’t figure out the heater, and my husband was freezing, though maybe we were just being dumb. The location is very convenient for the Fillmore and Ogden theaters, which is partly why we chose it the first time. It’s not for everyone, but it’s for me, and I’ll definitely return next time we go to a show.

I’ve wanted to stay here forever, and seeing the Albert Suite in person made it feel even more like a dream. It’s absolutely beautiful, I felt like a princess and didn’t want to leave the room. Check-in was incredibly easy compared with other no-contact places. A staff member was there when we arrived and offered an extra space heater just in case, before we even knew whether we’d need it.
