The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo
This hotel was amazing. It felt like stepping back 100 years. They put so many thoughtful details into it—even down to the cute coffee pot. There was even an umbrella hanging in the closet. The location was perfect, the room was clean, and the staff were friendly. I would definitely stay there ...

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown
Staff was excellent and helpful in every way. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Only problem we had was finding some place to eat nearby. Lots and f restraints but most were very pricey or did not have food to our liking. All in all we had a good stay in Chattanooga.
