The Read House Hotel
It has been years since I stayed here and the hotel has undergone a fantastic renovation. I recommend staying in the new wing - it was pristine and the decor reminded me of the Greenbrier.

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown
Everything was fine bed was comfortable clean quiet. Only problem I had was there was a giant spotlight outside my room and the curtains did not help. Definitely could’ve gotten better sleep if that wasn’t happening

Courtyard by Marriott Chattanooga Downtown
Amazing location, so close to foods, drinks, & things to do. You have to pay for parking, but it was worth it. We left our car in the ramp and walked to so many different locations. Room was very clean and spacious. Everyone we ran into was so nice and friendly. Front desk especially. I felt welcomed ...

Hotel Clemons
The room and staff were amazing. Only complaints are lack of storage, no pan for cooking in the kitchen, and the water ran cold rather quickly. Other than those few minor inconveniences, our stay was perfect!
