Top Tennessee Aquarium IMAX Theater Hotel Reviews

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

10/10 Excellent

"Such a fantastic place to stay in Chattanooga I highly recommend"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Property is being renovated so there is construction going on. Parking lot was full of containers but there were places to park. Elevator during the day was busy with construction workers. This was about the only inconvenience. Our room was very nice and the work seemed to be on upper floors so there was not any noise, just the elevators during the day were a bit of a wait. Great location downtown. Front desk staff was young so they couldn't really recommend much downtown."

The Edwin Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel!"

Hilton Garden Inn Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We greatly enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful, and the location felt safe. As a woman traveling with my granddaughter, that was very important to me. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was delicious, not overpriced, and the service was excellent. I would definitely stay here again if I make another trip to Chattanooga."
