Top St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. The story and history are AMAZING!!!! If you go you have to do the “haunted tour” it’s great"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown/South

10/10 Excellent

"Really super nice brand new hotel. So nicely decorated and appointed. It even smells amazing. Breakfast is OK. Better than most of this category. Good coffee. Comfortable beds. I was a little miffed about the $18 parking fee that wasn't anywhere on the hotels.com site. Be warned that it cost that much to park in their lot; however, if you park on the street, it's free overnight and you can preset the cheaper fee to start at 8 AM when they start charging."

Hotel Indigo Chattanooga - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great hotel not too far from downtown action. Close to the nearby main strip of shops, restaurants and bars. We liked that it close to some nearby high end roof top bars of other hotels to visit. Nice place to stay if you want to visit Chattanooga for a Friday night or short weekend trip. We don’t mind walking and this downtown city is super fun, clean and safe-feeling. Only negative was that this hotel room was basic, not bad as it all appeared new and fresh but very basic - I wouldn’t consider it “boutique” quality place. Considering the nightly rate I feel it lacked attention to details. 3 star hotel vibe in my opinion overall. Ohh and parking across the street was convenient, easy and inexpensive if you don’t want to valet your car."
