Top MLK University Hotel Reviews

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

10/10 Excellent

"Love this property! Amazing beds and so clean"

Chattanooga Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall a great hotel, especially for those visiting the adjacent convention center.my room was clean and comfortable and reasonably quiet. The parking/check in was a bit stressful and not convenient for unloading luggage before self parking. I had to make two trips to the garage and the elevator in the garage was pretty unpleasant. Other than that I’d definitely recommend this hotel. The staff at the front desk were all very helpful."

Moxy Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as I walked in, the staff were delightful and helpful, as they were the entire stay. My bed was comfy, and all the amenities were clean and convenient. One of the bartenders referred me to a couple of restaurants that were fabulous. The Moxy is within walking distance to so many great restaurants, bars, and activities. I will definitely stay again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Lookout Mountain West

8/10 Good

"Overall, taking price into account, we give it 4/5 stars or 8.5/10. *THERE IS NO ELEVATOR AT THIS PROPERTY AND IT IS 2 STORIES* Room was clean, renovated, and overall nice. Beds were a medium firmness. Walls were well insulated. We were impressed with how nice it felt in the room. They have a cool pancake robot at breakfast. Our chief complaints were that: 1) We asked for a quiet room and staff put us directly next to the only other family on our side of the building. We could clearly see that there were plenty of available clean rooms that were more quiet and isolated. 2) There was no elevator."
