Top Tennessee Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Clemons

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Hotel was really nice and quiet."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"We had a newly renovated room and everything was very clean. I was also so grateful when my teens were sleeping in that I was granted an extended check out for two additional hours free of charge when I asked. Finally a huge highlight was the golf simulator room at the bar- so nice and my 12 year old loved it. Was also nice that its glassed in with comfortable seating inside so that I could hang out and watch him. Beds were fine- not super comfortable but not terrible. However my son had a comforter that was so noisy I thought they had forgotten to take the plastic off a new mattress. It sounds odd but it was so noisy anytime he moved. It kept him up as well as me. If we had been thinking clearly I would have just had him ditch it but he also didn't have an alternative. My biggest issue was not being able to reach the front desk. I called and was put on hold for 10 minutes, then called back and the same thing happened. Eventually I just went down. I know sometimes things happen but don't tell me to hold if you aren't coming back!"

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Art Deco stunning hotel! Love the decor, the ambiance and the friendly, helpful staff. You feel as if you are stepping back in time, a luxurious time! The Bar and Billiards restaurant food was delicious and the cocktails were spot on. We enjoyed our stay immensely."
