The Read House Hotel
A Beautiful historical Hotel. Good drinks & friendly staff at their bar. The doorman, check-in staff & valet was well run & professional. Comfy beds, water pressure awesome in the shower, nice layout. Couldn’t get in the steak restaurant due to a buy out.

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown
Very clean room. Breakfast is a continental breakfast, but that is what was advertised, so it met expectations. The breakfast staff was very friendly and helpful and the location is convenient.
