Bed was not good, had to spray air freshener in room every day, light cover in bathroom broken and big stains all over the carpet. Breakfast was the same 4 days iin a row.
I liked the floor tile rooms reserved for pet use but they didn’t clean well enough to remove the pet smells. The tub was missing the drain plug. Older amenities.
Avoid this one by all means. Hotel staffs were very rude and unprofessional. The manager was not present on site during the work hours and appeared to be not willing to resolve the issues I had with the hotel. The room was surprisingly filthy with bad odors although the lobby was very clean. This hotel is not worth paying a penny.
Upon arriving in room, discovered someone had left a frozen ice cream drink in the freezer so obviously fridge and freezer were not checked or cleaned. There was a towel that had stains on it. That was supposedly in the clean linen and bathroom sink was very slow draining.
The bed was OK pillows not the most comfortable. Area around is noisy.
The staff was nice and the breakfast was good

The room was very small, but clean. The air was off when we got there (90 degrees outside). Room.was hot and musty. Took hours to get semi cool, never cold. Pool was mediocre and had algae on sides. For a 1 night stay, it was ok.
This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. I want to report it and submit our story and our pictures from the nightmare stay.
A nasty dirty room. The ac didn’t work at all. The room as 80 degrees all night. There never seemed to be anyone attending the desk
The furniture in the room look like it had been pulled out of a dumpster. The bathroom had some sort of facial or pubic hair on the faucet. One of the towels was covered in make up and dirt of some sort. The fan in the bathroom did not work at all. It was clogged and overflowing with dust and hair. The curtain to cover the window was equally dirty and dusty. I have pictures of all of this.
I would ultimately like a refund, but I would also like to leave a review to spare other travelers from this nightmare hotel
The property is ok and in a decent location. Our room smell like mildew and mold. Like the carpet was wet. The shower whistled loud and wouldnt stop. I am Veteran with hearing issues and the sound of the whistling gave me a headache.
This hotel was in great location to Lookout Mountain and Chattanooga! I would recommend staying at this location. The female at the front desk went above and beyond during our stay. We would stay there again!

Upon check in no electricity in room, mold in shower, dirty toilet, and cigarette burns on sheets. Front desk unable to help. Requested a refund was told I would have to speak with TJ the manager in the morning. We checked out without using the room. Called several times over the next couple of days to speak with TJ only to be told he was not available or they would hang up on us!
Our stay was nice.. Staff was super friendly. Room was clean. Bed was ok. I would definitely stay again. Very convenient. Walmart right across the street. Food place very close.

Very basic hotel. Breakfast was average, room had a bit of a musty smell, bathroom was small.
The room smells damp, it's unbearable. I had to buy an air freshener.

Although clean, the property could use some updates.
One lady working the first desk the 2nd night we stayed was super rude and tried to kick us out of the pool several times, where as the first night we stayed out til midnight and nobody said anything to us. Other than that the stay was great!
