Top Ruby Falls Hotel Reviews

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a staycation love to stay here. Room is super clean. Bar was super nice. Got to use the pool table."

Luke Bunk Tiny Cabin, Hot Tub, Mountain & Cityside

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 4 loved this cabin! We appreciated the kids plates and utensils too as we were traveling with two kids 6 and under. It was also super close to ruby falls and the incline railway while also not being a far drive into town or the nearest Walmart. We’d stay here again if we have the opportunity to!"

Lookout Mountain Riverview Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall, our stay was wonderful. Staff was very nice and helpful. Perfect location to get to all the sites to be seen. Room was very clean and comfortable. The grounds could've been kept up just a little bit more. In particular there's a fire pit with chairs around it that we would've loved to use Unfortunately, they don't cover the chairs so they're rather dirty. Suggestion is maybe have covers over them with a sign saying help yourself, please put cover back on when finished. That way they don't necessarily have to always do that extra task. Also, there were flower boxes on our balcony, which is a nice touch, however, there was just dead stocks in them. What would've been better is even just to have an empty box with dirt. I realize it's probably hard to keep up with flowers, maybe even putting in some fake flowers. Nowadays, they look quite real. Lower maintenance. I think the flower box is a nice touch, but it looked scraggly and not appealing. The only other comment is being out in mother nature like that there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders. Obviously, they can't contend to everything constantly, but perhaps before a room is to be occupied to sweep of the balcony to get rid of any cobwebs. I would stay again though. Hopefully this is more constructive criticism. They had a breakfast that was lovely. Fresh eggs from their farm, some sausage, bagels, cereal, a few different juices. I especially liked the yogurt that was very clean and yummy with fresh blueberries 🤗"

10/10 Excellent

"Cute cabin in the woods, well stocked kitchen, hot tub was nice! Good location close to Chattanooga"

Pops Lookout Mountain Luxury Tiny Cabin with Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location. Part of a cute tiny home village just outside of downtown Chattanooga. The outside areas needed to be swept or leaf blown before check in. Consider repairing bathroom door (hard to move and close). Need to provide more glasses - only had 2 plastic wine glasses. Otherwise a WONDERFUL stay, very cute and clean. Had a great time. Will be back"
