The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy and clean"

Embassy Suites By Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I am very picky about where I lay my head, and this hotel met my standards. The room was nice and cozy. The staff was friendly, and the location was perfect. Not to mention, the indoor pool and buffet breakfast were a plus. This will definitely be my go-to if I am in Chattanooga again."

Hotel Clemons

4/10 Poor

"Staff were friendly and apartments are spacious. However, if you end up by the elevator you will literally hear the elevator through the walls. Also prepare to get no sleep because of the consistent traffic. The couch was peeling and leaving specks of it all over our clothes so we had to cover it with a sheet. The throw pillows and blankets were so dirty and had an odor. Outside of those things it is a nice place to stay if you are not looking for amenities, windows or tvs in the bedrooms."

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

6/10 Okay

"It was okay overall, but definitely not great. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable, and some of them appeared dirty, with yellow and even blood stains. The room also had a noticeable smell, almost like a damp or unchanged air filter. The hallway carpets looked like they had not been cleaned in years, which made the hotel feel poorly maintained. On the positive side, the pool was clean, and I appreciated that. The area itself seemed relatively safe, but there were quite a few homeless individuals nearby. If you are planning to walk to the surrounding restaurants, that is something you may want to keep in mind."
