La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown/South

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent, the only issue was pay for parking lot."

Sonesta Select Chattanooga Hamilton Place

8/10 Good

"This was a good stay. Our room was clean. I didn’t like the outdoor sliding door access on our rooms. Maybe I didn’t study the pictures well enough to see that existed. Safety-wise, I didn’t like that. It wasn’t my favorite stay in terms of “attractive to the eye” but it was totally okay. Would I book again? No, just not my particular taste I guess."

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Luxury and charm combined! The staff is excellent from the valet welcome to checkout! They seem to know what I needed and wanted before I did . The indoor pool was very nice with a view of the garden. I stayed in the junior suite that was lovely and spacious. I would score the whole trip with a 10 out of 10 except for an unfortunate meal at the restaurant. I ordered the chilled seafood tower and got it to go. It was not chilled it was frozen. Even the sauces was frozen. And the lobster or crab salad, I'm not sure what it was but it was foul! But mistakes happen and I did order it to go and it was close to closing time... I will tell anyone to stay at this property and I look forward to staying again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Lookout Mountain West

8/10 Good

"Very clean and just what we needed.The breakfast was cereal,yogurt,pancakes,toast,oatmeal and coffee and juice.Im only giving four stars just because there wasn’t a bigger breakfast.Other than that we were completely happy staying here and we would again."

Hotel Indigo Chattanooga - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great hotel not too far from downtown action. Close to the nearby main strip of shops, restaurants and bars. We liked that it close to some nearby high end roof top bars of other hotels to visit. Nice place to stay if you want to visit Chattanooga for a Friday night or short weekend trip. We don’t mind walking and this downtown city is super fun, clean and safe-feeling. Only negative was that this hotel room was basic, not bad as it all appeared new and fresh but very basic - I wouldn’t consider it “boutique” quality place. Considering the nightly rate I feel it lacked attention to details. 3 star hotel vibe in my opinion overall. Ohh and parking across the street was convenient, easy and inexpensive if you don’t want to valet your car."
