This is an old hotel that has been refurbished. They have worked to keep the antique feeling. Gorgeous, but the old fashion lighting can feel a little dark. The train car rooms are amazing for anyone that loves trains or just wants a unique experience. There is a wonderful restaurant on the property and the walkways connect to the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo depot, with restaurants and bars. There is a huge grassy area for kids so the noise near the rooms is minimal even with a bunch of children in nearby rooms. There are plenty of outdoor areas for sitting and chatting.

We will stay again and for longer. It was charming, stylish and cool. It’s rare to find such a quality stay that allows you to also bring your dog. From the service to the accommodations we fell in love. I highly recommend.

We love this hotel, probably stay here about 6-8 times a year. It’s the perfect spot for my wife and I to get away for a date night. We love to come into town, catch the comedy show and eat great food and return to our fantastic room for the night.

Probably the best check-in experience we’ve ever had. The absolute nicest people and so helpful. There are so many restaurants bars, and shops right around the hotel within super close walking distance and the staff completely fills you in on all of them.
