This hotel is OUTRAGEOUSLY overpriced garbage. They charged $555+ for one night in a Double Queen (as a Bonvoy Silver Elite member) ??? It's Chattanooga, folks!
For the price, I was expecting a first class, full service hotel. We arrived at 9:00 p.m.on a Saturday night and was told by the surly young man (?) at the front desk that there was no bell service (lug your own bags), and no restaurants or room services available on the property -- not even a mini-bar. The nearest place to eat was a 1/2 mile away. The only other option was an upstairs night club called the Whiskey Thief that was screamingly loud, packed full of drunk people getting into fights, and offered nothing but overpriced (nasty) deviled eggs and other bar snacks.
I made the reservation months in advance and asked for a quiet, upper floor room. Our room was on the second floor, next to the elevator, over looking the valet parking and the entrance. It was also next to a neon "Hotel" sign light that shone above and below the curtains. The room was mediocre, at best, and not particularly clean -- greasy wipe marks on the desk, stained towels, and a filthy carpet.
The whole vibe is some sort of outdated hipster gig. The valet parkers are all dressed like extras from "Peaky Blinders" (hats, suspenders, and all), the elevators assault you with gigantic, upclose, B&W photgraphs of strangers' faces, and the bathroom walls are covered with disturbing and bizarre murals.
IN SHORT . . . AVOID.
THE READ HOUSE (a mile away) is an elegant, full-service, Art Deco hotel for half the price!!!!
