The Space:
This room features a 2 Full Size Beds, 50" TV, Keurig, complete with complimentary water, coffee, creamers and sugar. Also it has a mini fridge and microwave. Fully stocked with fresh linens. Our cleaning staff will not bother you during your stay. They only clean once you have checked out. However if you need addition assistance or additional linens we are always just a phone call away.

Toiletries such as starter set of soaps, body wash, shampoo and conditioner are also supplied. You'll also find extra hangers, a blow-dryer and small clothes steamer. (if you need and iron please let us know)

The unit is heated and cooled by a mini split system with a remote control.

And last but not least don't forget to take advantage of the courtyard located near the office.

Guest Access:
You will be given your door code 3 hours prior to check in. Check in starts at 3pm. For an extra $20 we can guaranteed check in of 2pm. You may request this via text through our automated system immediately after booking online.
Rooms have smart locks so you can check in at your convenience. No need to check in with office.

The Neighborhood:
Located on the outskirts of Chattanooga, TN in the small town of Trenton, Ga. Minutes to local attractions and one of Georgia's most visited state parks, Cloudland Canyon State Park.

Getting Around:
If your looking for a shuttle to Chattanooga or to a local wedding we do not have Uber but I've been told Lyft is available. My first suggestion is Lookout Limousine rentals. They have a 14 passenger party bus that is perfect for big groups looking for a driver and also have special events that can be booked such as wine tours and Christmas light tours during the season. They will pick you up and drop you off at The Groovy Nomad

Other Things to Note:
Once you have booked our system will send out a confirmation email via our GUESTY booking system. In the confirmation email you will be given a link to fill some additional information to help us better serve you. It will also asked to verify ID. This is a security feature to protect you and other guests. This is a common practice in the hotel/motel industry.

Additional Rules to Note

- We have no pet policy.
- Quiet time is between 10pm and 9am.

Such a lovely motel!

The Groovy Nomad is by far my favorite roadside motel. It has been lovingly remodeled with attention to detail. We stayed in the Sci-Fi room. I can’t wait express how satisfying it was to check-in online and gain access to this incredibly clean and comforting room. There were absolutely no issues. I would absolutely stay there again!
