Top Downtown Chattanooga Hotel Reviews

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible stay. Room was great, staff was super nice and accommodating. Great muffins in the am and fantastic bar. At midnight the parking lot was packed. Ashley came out and made sure we had a spot. Above and beyond. We now have our Go To hotel when we come to town. Thanks for a great experience."

The Westin Chattanooga

8/10 Good

"The room we were initially given had a terrible view even though we had upgraded to a better view. The staff was able to change us to a better view room but it was handicapped accessible room. The room was very clean and comfortable. The pool area was very nice but the pool itself was very cloudy and dirty so we never went in it. The reason was likely due to their showers by the pool that were not working. Staff by the pool were great to get our drinks. The area around the hotel was great with lots to do. The French restaurant across the street was amazing and very convenient to just walk there. Overall we had a wonderful time."

Holiday Inn & Suites Chattanooga Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The front desk staff were helpful and thankfully were able to accommodate my early check in, which kind of saved my weekend after a long red-eye flight. The room itself, while nothing fancy, was large, clean and comfortable. The bed was surprisingly comfy. I tend to not sleep well in hotels because the pillows are either too firm or too squishy, but honestly the pillows were pretty perfect. The location is pretty convenient as well. I doubt I'll be back to Chattanooga, but if YOU'RE going, don't hesitate to stay here. Definitely a good value."

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

10/10 Excellent

"IMMACULATE. Do not hesitate on booking this one. This was seriously the greatest hotel experience I have had in my entire life. As a Chattanooga resident, I can honestly say that this is absolutely the best hotel to stay at for the perfect Chattanooga experience. The hotel room was so cozy a comfortable that I truly did not want to leave. The pool and courtyards were beautiful. The train cars and easy access to EVERYTHING at the Choo Choo made everything so easy and just had the coolest vibe and allowed us to make the best of every minute. The owners have done an amazing job at creating a seamless atmosphere that sucks you in and makes you feel like you have went back in time to early 1900’s Chattanooga. Was like being in a movie. Also let me just say, this is the cleanest hotel I have ever been in, the most comfortable beds and the most luxurious shower. Also as a person with an injury, I found the patio areas with access to the parking lot (which there were lots of places to get close parking to our room) to make things so much easier when I needed to save my legs from a long day. The area is also chocked full of amazing restaurants and things to do. Great hotel for anything from families to weddings. Very short walk to some of the best restaurants in town."
