this was our first stay in Chattanooga; we'll be back. Didn't realize there were so many things to see and do. I didn't get the young mens names when we checked in and out, but they were very friendly, kind, and informative. Just wish the elevator was a bit bigger for the luggage cart. tight squeeze, but we did enjoy our stay

The nostalgic Chattanooga Choo-Choo train display and train car suites added to the experience. Loved the facility upkeep and bathroom design detail (and cleanliness) were top-notch. They have a helpful, friendly staff too. I also recommend the local restaurants and bars 👍👍

This is a unique property as it's located in the middle of the general "train station" area. We enjoyed the history of the area and the variety of places to eat within walking distance. Also took advantage of the free electric shuttle to the aquarium area. Notes: We would really have appreciated a location on-site for real breakfast (the coffee area only had pastry). Also our room had a slight moldy smell (perhaps the AC needs to be cleaned) and it was quite dark (bedside lights were too dim to read and we're only 60). Finally, not enough parking -we returned late two of the nights and had to wait for someone to leave so we could park. REALLY enjoyed the outdoor seating by the caboose and loved the young woman playing guitar one night under the stars and lights. We would return if we're able to snag a discounted room.
