Moxy Chattanooga Downtown
Cheerful lobby, small room but equipped with everything you need. Not five stars because, unfortunately, very early in the morning start the rumbling noises of industrial trucks or trains nearby. Ear plugs necessary if you want to avoid a 5am wake up call.

Kinley Chattanooga Southside, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Classy stylish hotel. Room was spacey and modern and wonderful. Also love the speakeasy in the lobby that is hidden. Only slight negative was the ice machine was on the blink on the 2nd floor where I stayed. Regardless, I will definitely stay here again when I am in need of a place downtown.
