Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Clean unit, nice staff. Just keep in mind that it's a motel and not a hotel, so it's a bit noisy. There is an elevator to get to the upper floors however. My one real complaint was that over the weekend, the bar located in the open motel courtyard had live entertainment. It added to the noise. Fine if that's something you enjoy, a bit annoying if you want to sleep and hit the road early the next morning."

Chattanooga Heritage Inn

8/10 Good

"For a short stay its ok. Staff was helpful. Pool could use some cleaning, I had to skim it before we got in. We didn't like the food at the café, we had breakfast. You have to ask to have your room cleaned, and ask for clean towel daily otherwise there not bought to you. There are no extra towels for pool use, so bring your own."

Hotel Clemons

10/10 Excellent

"Great affordable place to stay… we were just a couple passing through - but it would have been great for a couple with two kids or a longer stay. Well appointed, historic and true Chattanooga artsy feel. Great location - walkable to Urban Stack (great burgers and environment), a hip cocktail bar No Hard Feelings and many more. We will definitely stay here again’"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Chattanooga

Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Chattanooga is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are lower. For a great value for money experience, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to explore the city's significant landmarks and cultural attractions. You can enjoy the Tennessee Aquarium, marvel at stunning waterfalls, hike the mountains, and take leisurely strolls along the river. Additionally, the area boasts fascinating museums and art galleries, as well as opportunities for excursions and tours that highlight the rich history and natural beauty of Chattanooga. With prices potentially dropping during these months, it’s an ideal time for those looking to explore on a budget.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals for your stay in Chattanooga, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on nearby accommodations. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to keep informed about flash sales and special promotions, which could help you secure great savings on hotels. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best hotel deal available. Stay updated on any price drops or room availability for a last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Chattanooga. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is relatively high, we will suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you find a potentially better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Chattanooga's outstanding public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well linked.
