We stayed in a RR car (instead of standard hotel room), while words like cute and quaint come to mind, I don't recommend it except for the experience. The RR car room was very dark and there are no tables or counterspace. We also had an issue with parking. There was a wedding in the ballroom our second night so there were no parking spaces in the hotel lot. We were shocked when the deskclerk told us "well then you'll have to pay to park in the garage" - nearly a block away. That wasn't going to happen but finally a wedding guest left and we were able to get 1 space. Don't know about the next people. Room was clean and quiet and staying at the Choo Choo with restaurants, bars, and shops is nice but not sure I would do it again

Overall our stay was great. We were a bit disappointed when we couldn't get a drink later in the evening due to a water problem at the bar in Elsie's Daughter, but that was just a coincidental event. One of the lights to the left of the TV flickered in our room when it was adjusted to full power, but it stopped if we turned it down a bit.

this was our first stay in Chattanooga; we'll be back. Didn't realize there were so many things to see and do. I didn't get the young mens names when we checked in and out, but they were very friendly, kind, and informative. Just wish the elevator was a bit bigger for the luggage cart. tight squeeze, but we did enjoy our stay
