Frequently Asked Questions
Are Rock City tickets included or discounted?
Most of our seasonal and add-on packages include two admission vouchers to Rock City as part of the package price, rather than offering a discount on tickets purchased separately. A stay booked without one of our packages does not include Rock City admission. Rock City Passholders, however, receive a discount on stays at Chanticleer Inn.
How far is Chanticleer Inn from Rock City?
Chanticleer Inn is directly across the street from Rock City Gardens, so it is an easy walk from your room to the entrance.
Can I book a package last minute?
Yes, packages can typically be added on a last-minute basis, depending on availability. We recommend calling the inn directly to confirm a package can be arranged for your dates.
Do packages require a minimum night stay?
Yes, our same minimum-stay policy holds. Minimum-stay requirements can apply on weekends and holidays, so we recommend checking your specific dates when you book. Wedding parties and groups booking two or more rooms require a minimum two-night stay and should contact the inn directly, rather than booking online.
