Top Tennessee Aquarium Hotel Reviews

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! I was even able to take a tour of room 311, which was a lot of fun!"

Hotel Clemons

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Clemons is such a cool place! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cafe is so convenient and has great coffee and breakfast food. The room was amazing and had everything I needed. My favorite part was the living room. It's nice having an area separate from the bedroom to hang out and made it home-y. Only things to note (not complaints just to be aware): pillows do not hold their form and the air conditioning can make it hard to hear the tv."
