Top Tennessee Aquarium IMAX Theater Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Very happy with our stay - The service was great and the food was fabulous. It's a great location and we would recommend it to friends. But, the property badly needs a remodel and an update. The electrical sockets were old and dodgy and the furniture is worn out. Residence Inn is a great choice and we will always choose it. It's time for a update and a remodel!"

Hotel Clemons

10/10 Excellent

"Apartment style Rooms have no windows and great for sleeping in Very quiet- no slamming doors or elevators while you’re sleeping"

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

"It started off not good as I had booked to stay in one of the train cars...but upon arrival we were told the reservation was for a suite. Anyway the new manager apologized (a very sweet girl) and went way out of her way to make our stay wonderful which it was. Our suite was beautiful!!! and “Elsie’s Daughter” restaurant on site was very memorable and food and staff was top notch. Just a note: The reservation mixup was with Expedia so double check when making a reservation."
