Top Chattanooga Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

10/10 Excellent

"The novelty of the train suites can’t be overstated. It’s very cool and the closest I’ll come to going on the orient express. Location is great and the staff is amazing!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown/South

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and clean"

Embassy Suites By Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! The valet was awesome- above and beyond to help us with the car availability"

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."

Excellent Couples Retreat! All Kings w/Own Baths!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here, the house is clean and modern inside and plenty of space for our family of 6. There is a little seating area out the back which is nice. It’s nicely decorated and just like the photos. The only negative is the location of the property to quite a loud/busy road - that maybe explained why there were earplugs at everyone’s bedside table :) Nonetheless we slept fairly well, the odd siren or loud car woke me. One suggestion I would make would be having a few more baking trays for the oven. We did struggle a bit to get our dinner cooked with the limited oven trays available - unless some were hiding somewhere we missed. Overall a great spot to stay in and we would stay again."
