Top MLK University Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Chattanooga Hamilton Place

8/10 Good

"Bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent."

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Really nice and clean hotel especially for the price. The Innside restaurant was absolutely amazing proper Mom and Pop shop that has been in Chattanooga for over 30 years. Now the cons- the receptionist had a passive aggressive attitude, and at night many people were outside our door making lot's of noise and finally our room also was tricky to get in as the card sometimes straight up refused to work. However, the room was exceptional, and the diner was wholesome. I will come back to the restaurant but I rather stay closer to the aquarium that has friendlier staff and quieter rooms."

Drury Plaza Hotel Chattanooga Hamilton Place

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was above and beyond. The room was perfect, so clean and the nice big shower was awesome. The kickback we checked in during was such a fun idea, plus the free 3 drinks for my wife and I and the free food was so nice to show up to after a 6 hour drive."

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We were promptly greeted and given the room we asked for. The room was freshly painted and clean. We really appreciated the complimentary shampoo, conditioner and lotion- smelled so good. The steamer came in handy! The gym was well equipped and the breakfast has something for everyone. We enjoyed our stay."
