Drury Plaza Hotel Chattanooga Hamilton Place

10/10 Excellent

"This was an overnight stay on the way to our destination, but I would happily come back here to stay for a multiple night visit. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The breakfast buffet was very tasty. Whenever, I’m in the Chattanooga area, I’ll stay at this Drury location."
