The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very centrally located. Best hotel for price. Lange room. Unique vibe. Very historical. Amenities on site excellent. Would stay again if in the area."

Hampton Inn & Suites Chattanooga/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, great breakfast, and near to attractions!"

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Over all a good stay. Pool was good, and we enjoyed the bar on site and the bartender was amazing and very personable (Jodi). Front staff was also very helpful and always willing to help make your stay better. Location is right downtown (so please note you will hear sirens a few times a night) We ended up getting 2 rooms because we didn’t realize the beds were full size when we booked and that gave us more space and they were conjoined that was was even better. Room was inviting but not the absolute cleanest. Bathroom tub leaked and the bathroom wasn’t very clean but we made due. Overall we had a good experience, and we would stay again just based off the staff and the bed were actually very comfortable! Also There is a mini fridge but no microwave!"
