It was hard find hotel at first but if U pass the McDonald’s turn road beside the Hardee’s the hotel is on the left. GPS told us to turn before U get to McDonald’s we went through that parking lot until we figured out there was another North Smith Road. Staff was very friendly, & cook kept food stock & nice, hot a lot of variety including a pancake maker, boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, gravy biscuits, scrambled eggs, egg white omelette, turkey sausage, turkey link, bacon, muffins, cinnamon rolls, coffee, apple juice, O.J., another juice, bagels, toast, apples, banana’s, oranges, nutrigrain bars Monday- Fri 7am-9:30 sat/sun 7-10am nice dinning room area near breakfast area. Pool was nice, cold indoor & an air conditioned gym. No Hot Tub. 2 double beds were nice with wall control for air conditioning, it included bath wash, shampoo, conditioner & at sink hand wash, lotion. For 3 people staying only 2 towels we got 2 more tissue it only had 1 but we asked for 2 more rolls. Pool had towels too not long ones but we bought our own. Washing machine & dryer only cost $2.75 per load quarters only! Walking distance to Hardee’s & Mc D’s. Champy’s was a great seafood place to eat & drink a margarita for vacation.

We were very disappointed to arrive and find the pool was out of service, and has been for some time. That was the only reason we picked this hotel and Expedia should share that information. The front desk staff member was very helpful and made a great connection with our kids, which we really appreciate.

we chose this hotel because of the indoor pool as compared to other hotels in area that had no indoor pool. when amenities like this are not available a discount should be given. i would of chosen elsewhere more affordable for not being able to use the pool.

This hotel was top notch. Room was very clean and up to date. One of the best stay's we've had in a while. The only complaint we had was the amount of parking. There were two trucks that took up most of the back lot. One was towing a trailer and the other a boat. Block off 8-10 spots in a small parking lot.

Every interaction we had with staff was fantastic. They are efficient and friendly. That said, i would not stay here again. The parking area in the back had no lighting (the light pole was out) so i felt our safety and the security of my car was at risk. The hallway smelled musty. Cleaning staff left supplies in our room and the bathroom mirror worked on only one side of the frame.

Like all of the Holiday Inn Express hotels, breakfast is always good and the rooms have a good layout. For this hotel however, rooms and bathrooms could have been cleaned better; the carpet in the room/hallways, tiles in the bathroom and elevator floors were a bit sticky and dirty. The location is convenient, it is near the expressway and there were dining options around.

Property was very nice, but there was not much parking. Had to park in a pitch black lot late at night. Staff was friendly and the lady running breakfast checked with everyone several times to make sure everyone was ok. Room itself was ok, nothing special. The carpet was coming up from the side trim and tub had mildew all over it.

I’m not sure who is reviewing this property but it’s not quite worth the “excellent” rating. The staff was friendly and helpful but you can tell they were short. We didn’t have enough towels (only a set of two for a six person room) and needed a few other things but no one was available to bring them to the room. The was hair in the shower and on the soap dispensers. The tile floor in the room was very dirty. The carpets in the hall were dirty. Bathroom wall is deteriorating near the tub and the door panel was coming off at the bottom. Just passing through for the night and typically this Holiday Inn brand is much better than this. The firm and soft pillow options on the bed were nice.

A nice quiet area away from the city with plenty of food options. The breakfast was pretty decent, eggs, sausage, pancake, etc. The biggest issue we had was that our room was right by the stairwell so we would hear the door slam pretty often. The rooms themselves were very nice though.

Our room was spacious. Clean. Quiet. We only used the room to sleep, get ready in the morning to be off again on adventures but it was so nice to come back to in the evening and crash out in a comfortable bed. We didn't use the breakfast buffet at all so can't comment on that. We were up and out too early. The hotel was central to everything we wanted ... easy in and out ... easy access to highways .... lots of food choices in the area ... we stay again if we come back to Chatt.

Had to ask for things multiple times that weren’t in the room. Pillows towels. Which is fine. Not that big of a deal but when I went to ask for the pillow I was told they didn’t have any more pillows and seemed really annoyed we asked. So they denied having any so one of our guests had to sleep without one. Pretty upset I paid $200 and couldn’t even get a pillow. Breakfast was good and the lady in there was so friendly. Very close to a lot of food places stores etc. other than the issues with being able to be fully covered on pillows blankets for our guests we had to sleep without which I think is crazy for a hotel. Surely there was one extra pillow.

Check-in time is 3pm. Softball team began their check-in at 3:45. There were 2 clerks at front desk. I stayed in the same line, which was moving extremely slow. Other clerk completed all check ins & I was still waiting in line. This clerk NEVER asked for next customer in line. She was checking in walk-ins over customers still waiting in other line. After 20 mins of waiting, I was checked in, BUT a room wasn’t ready. Was told, it would be ready in 10 mins. After another 20 mins, room was finally ready. Entered room, settled in to relax for about 15 mins prior to game, & TV didn’t work. Tech came & fixed it. Clerk visited & I explained my disappointment with staff! She didn’t offer upgrade or credit due to OUR experience, but she did offer member points, but never followed up. Total lack of customer service…..

All were truly warm and gracious hosts which made our one night stay (after an exhausting 12 hour drive) so welcoming and so appreciated. I have worked in the hospitality industry and travel extensively and I feel this hotel management could teach a master class in hospitality. Thank you and well done!

We decided to stay at this hotel for access to some ammenities around Chattanooga, including Mckays and the Childrens Museum. First impression was positive. I had come to check in and realized the indoor pool is broke (hest not working) the ladies up front called around to see if another location had one open as that is all my kids talked about. So 10/10 customer service. Room was little to be desired. There was weird yellowing discoloration along the white rolling curtain. The bathroom seemed to have suffered water damage at one point as the bottom of the door was warped and there was a very poorly done patch job next to the tub, who knows whats living inside the wall. The tub also had black smugdes in the bottom and the drain was not draining well. The next morning we came down for breakfast, and found the fruit area empty, and there being no sausage. We were down there a good 20-30 minutes eating breakfast with thr kids and the sausage never restocked and they eventually ran out of eggs (went to get a second one) Likely wont stay at this location again.
