Upon checking in, we encountered a locked front door, but the staff quickly responded to our alert. The room was cozy, with a comfortable bed and an exceptional walk-in shower featuring multiple settings and strong water pressure throughout the bathroom. We appreciated the proximity to a Mexican restaurant, which served fantastic margaritas and food, along with great music that unfortunately carried over into our room late at night. Although the blackout window coverings provided adequate coverage, they could be wider for optimal light blocking. The toilet's whistle upon flushing was somewhat concerning, but it did not impact its functionality. The staff's friendly demeanor and commitment to customer satisfaction were noteworthy. Given the hotel's affordable price and convenient location, we would definitely consider booking it again for future visits to Chattanooga.
