Top Chattanooga Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Clemons

10/10 Excellent

"We always thoroughly enjoy staying at Hotel Clemons every time we visit Chattanooga. The rooms are so big, with kitchens, living space and separate bedrooms--all for a cost that is often cheaper than a hotel room. We also enjoy the games that are provided in the lobby. We will continue to book rooms here when we visit."

Hotel Indigo Chattanooga - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel in downtown Nashville!! Great location, clean spacious rooms, super-helpful staff, and delicious food in the restaurant. My only dislike were the pillows—much too overstuffed/thick for my comfort."

Moxy Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Fun place!"

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel is old, but went through a refurbishment of the room recently. The age of the exterior is walk ways is evident w/ a lot of broken concrete. The price was good and the room was clean."

Embassy Suites By Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Place was incredible. Clean room awesome breakfast"

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, well kept and very convenient. Just a touch from the main part of the downtown area but it's all growing together. Lady working the front desk dropped 6 F bombs in a minute and a half in front of my kid, another kids, my wife and I at 930 in the morning about being in the pool before opening time at 10. In the room it says 9 and by the pool it says 9. She wasn't getting after us but said she didn't give an eff that her boss didn't want us in the pool before 10. 6 times. Very strange. Other that that it was a good place to stay for a good price."
