Hotel Clemons

10/10 Excellent

"My family of four (two teens, two adults) was coming to Chattanooga, and the Hotel Clemons seemed like a great option to fit us all, and it was. My family told me it was the coolest place we've ever stayed, and it was definitely the largest room we've had! The place is massive. It's nice having two bedrooms & two bathrooms, plus a full size kitchen and living area. The place is trendy and fun, and the location can't be beat. Highly recommend."
