For what you pay and what you get is that the room is overpriced. They over charge for everything. Water $7.50, coffee pack $6.00. Other motels, the coffee is, complimentary. The halls are musty smelling.

Do yourself a generous favor and stay someplace el
There are so many other places in Chattanooga that you can stay in so dont downgrade your stay at this joint. There are literally 5 employees for the entire hotel. #1 no room service, no seriously they never cleaned our room for half the stay we were there. In fact they knocked on the door and asked if we wanted it cleaned and yet still didnt get it. We waited 45 min for new towels. #2 Just forget the coffee shop. They had no milk 2 days in a row. How the hell do you run a coffee shop with no milk?

Night Life + Family Friendly Vacation Hot Spot
We stayed here for a weekend trip to celebrate a birthday and to climb at Stone Fort. The area is great for children and adults, alike. Behind the hotel is a community area that offers food, drinks, and children activities. I do believe the restaurant associated with the hotel is probably better equipped for drinks and dinner- its more of a date night or girls night out location. We stopped at the restaurant for breakfast our first morning- and we were not impressed. This did not deter us from enjoying our stay! The hotel staff are incredibly friendly- especially when we checked in close to midnight. The rooms are spacious and clean, and room service tidies up everyday(!). The towels, robes, and shower are great. The interior decor is vintage inspired and very cutesy with the emerald green wall color and dimming lights in the rooms. I enjoyed the classic edwardian style, although the modern use of carpet over hardwood/tile will poorly age the aesthetic and my guess is it will be dated in the next 5 years. Besides a personal opinion of style- I enjoyed this stay! Bring the family and enjoy the pool side during the day and be sure to enjoy the night life of the close bars. This location is safe from the hustle and bustle of the city and if you are like us and plan to spend the day climbing- its only a 15 minute drive to Stone Fort while offering a restful and clean stay. Hotel parking is not free FYI- it's $18 per night. Also, please somebody water the plants, they are thirsty
cute seating area in the double queen bed. This room also had a psuedo porch- instead of a window they installed a door that opened outside and offered pool side views.
