Top Tennessee Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Chattanooga - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My experience staying at the hotel has been excellent every time. The entire staff is friendly, professional and they deliver superior customer service. The rooms are always clean and neat. There’s only one thing that needs to change. The carpets that surround the bed and possibly are under the bed need to be replaced. They are worn out and old."

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"we had such a bad experience before we got here so I may be biased but I fell in love. It's definitely a 70's motel redone but it was so freaking cute. The pillows were not my fav but I am a pillow snob. The toilet was meant to be in a gas station, it was so powerful and like a commercial toilet. Not complaining just being honest."

Hampton Inn & Suites Chattanooga/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff. Great indoor/outdoor pool."

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
