Top Chattanooga Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Clemons

8/10 Good

"A very good hotel! We were upgraded from a regular room to a suite with two bathrooms, one of which had a proper deep bathtub. There were also games available in the common area. Two specific things worth knowing: 1. In our suite, the bedrooms had no windows. This was actually a plus in terms of noise isolation, but it might be uncomfortable for someone with claustrophobia. 2. If you're particularly sensitive to noise, complete silence may be difficult to achieve. We turned off the HVAC, but could still hear some background noise, apparently coming from a neighboring building. Everything else was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay!"

Embassy Suites By Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very nice. We will be coming back."

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so friendly!!! From front desk to housekeeping to the folks in the breakfast area. Our original room had an issue with the air not working and they quickly moved us to another room. The front desk person even brought the keys to the new room to us --we didn't have to go downstairs. I was traveling with my sister and her dog. She said the dog park that is part of the property was really nice. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast --really good coffee (that is important!) We loved that they had their "team meeting" to get the day started. I got the feeling that everyone liked working there! All around a very positive experience."

Chattanooga Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great facility connecting to the convention center all the staff was very helpful with any problems highly recommend"

The Chattanoogan Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! We were torn between this and another boutique hotel and chose The Chattanoogan. We were able to walk to most where we wanted to go and enjoyed the onsite bar and rooftop bar."

Holiday Inn & Suites Chattanooga Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, while no self parking at the hotel, the valet parkers and parking were worth the added expense."

The Edwin Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel!"

The Westin Chattanooga

8/10 Good
