Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown
"Nice hotel, well kept and very convenient. Just a touch from the main part of the downtown area but it's all growing together. Lady working the front desk dropped 6 F bombs in a minute and a half in front of my kid, another kids, my wife and I at 930 in the morning about being in the pool before opening time at 10. In the room it says 9 and by the pool it says 9. She wasn't getting after us but said she didn't give an eff that her boss didn't want us in the pool before 10. 6 times. Very strange. Other that that it was a good place to stay for a good price."
