Very good

There was no honesty/transparency from the hotel about having to pay for parking. We had also called to ensure the pool was functional and would be for our stay. When we arrived we were told "scheduled maintenance" had closed the pool. We would have booked somewhere else. Got to the room...it was a hot and humid 76. It finally got down to 70 degrees around 4am or so. Pull out sofa bed had sheets on it. They were not clean and they had blood stains. We showered, slept, and then showered again. Awful! In the morning breakfast was not kept well stocked. I had late checkout at 12pm. As we walked by the front desk I was challenged by a man about late checkout. I told him our room number and that we had late checkout. He printed a receipt and gave it to me. Was not friendly at all.
We were hit with a surprise when checking in. Motel charged us an additional $14 per night to park our car in their parking lot. Next time we will stay downtown near the aquarium. Parking is a ripoff in Chattanooga. Pay at hotel, again at dinner, again at attractions, all within one mile of each other.
This was a standard, nice hotel. It was clean and had everything I needed. The breakfast was nice, as well. It's in a nice area, and I would stay here again.
Clean rooms convenient location front desk very polite and professional with the exception of late at night a tall Baldwin was rather rude I'm not sure if he was security or front desk staff everyone else was great
Over half of the tv channels did not work. When I told the front desk during my stay she just looked at me. When I checked out I was told it does that sometimes. I was in town for work, and basically sat in my room in silence all night because the only working channels were the news channels.
There were gnats flying all around and ants on the air conditioner. Would not recommend

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
When I reserved the hotel I wasn't advise about the parking fees...
The hotel rent their parking lot to a third party company and you have to pay for parking...the bad thing is that you don't know how much you will be charged until check out...you have to provide your credit card info and then get charged...
This is unbelievable, how in the world a hotel rent their parking to a third party company to get their guest charged for parking...
There are plenty of good and better hotels in the area w/o parking fees or some charges just 10 dollars per night.
The hotel was clean and staff were polite. The free breakfast was good. No real complaints but next time i will book something closer to downtown restaurants.

They charge an extra $20.00 for booking through Expedia and $13.00 a night for self parking.
The road in front is noisy and windows aren't sound proof.
In our room, the toilet ran all night and the mattress was turned over with the pillow top facing down.
