We stayed here for several days in June, 2008, as part of a Vietnam Veteran's group get-together. It was awful. Whatever you do, don't stay in rooms adjoining the heated pool area, especially in summer. The vending machines are antiquated and don't work. Staff was not accomodating to this matter either. As for the local eating establishments, I was never... more

The service here is amazing, but it doesn't make up for the filthy outdated rooms. Very poor experience overall. Our first room wasn't even cleaned and we walked into stripped beds. The staff quickly brought us keys to another room, and the room was at least put together. All furnishings were worn, bulbs were bare and switch plates were missing... more

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments about our property. Thanks for your comments about our amazing service, we hear it daily. However, I’m sorry that the accommodations fell short of your expectations, and I apologize for the inconsistency you met with our housekeeping service. Cleanliness is very important to us.

Really nice people work here, and I hate to write a bad review - but I would hate for someone else to seek shelter here even more. I pulled in during a snowstorm and was lucky to get a room, but I would have rather slept in the car than at this bizarre hodge-podge of office buildings turned into hotel... more

Thank you for your comments on our staff, we take pride in our hospitality and they are the best! . It is true that we have 3 buildings but the comments are unwarranted. There is parking for each building and for any business the farther away you have to park means that we were very busy with guests who enjoy...

After staying at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC and finding that both that hotel and the Chattanooga Choo Choo are both on the registry of Historic Hotels of America, I was really looking forward to my upcoming stay at the Choo Choo. What a let down. Apart from the beautifully restored lobby, the rest of the hotel complex... more

Thanks for taking the time to write your email. I'm sorry that we did not live up to your expectations. I believe describing our hotel as a dump is a bit harsh. We take your comments very seriously. I have forwarded your comments to the respective Department Heads. We call each guest nightly to make sure they are satisfied with...

To celebrate a new job, my husband and I chose Chattanooga over Memphis. We found the Chattanooga Choo Choo and made reservations for a suite. The lady that made the reservation was wonderful. She wanted to make sure that we knew that there was a Science Fiction Convention there and that the guest could be up late. I was fine... more

Congratulations on your new job! We’re thrilled that you chose to spend your time in Chattanooga with us. Our King Bed Jacuzzi Suites in Hotel 3 receive a tremendous amount of positive feedback. They are perfect for celebrations, honeymoons, and weekend getaways for two. Our staff really is terrific and I have passed this review along to each of the...

Stayed here when we travelled with Travelsphere for a tour of the South in March. We arrived after a nine hour flight and a three hour transfer to a gorgeous hotel. We were in one of the rooms not the carriages, and they were so big!! The beds were huge and very comfortable. The bathroom was massive and so clean.... more

A nine hour flight and a three hour transfer sounds like a long day. I’m pleased that we were your final destination and that you enjoyed your stay with us. The Garden’s Restaurant has always been a favorite of our guests, and we appreciate the great review. Please come back and see us soon! Regards, Jim Bambrey GM

Just wanted to drop a line about the wonderful time we had during our recent New Years Eve Party Booking. We live in town and have attended the New Years Eve party with the Beaters for the past several years and this year's party was the best ever. Our room was clean and warm when we arrived. I appreciated the... more

This was my 5th year at the Choo Choo for New Year's Eve and I've had a great time every year. A group of friends and I go just to see The Beater's and enjoy the New Year's events at the Choo Choo. Yes, parts of the hotel are a bit outdated, but where else can you party with hundreds... more
