Liked: Amenities
History and elegance of this hotel were super appealing. The lobby area and downstairs bar are very classy looking. The room did have a slight musty odor but after about 15 minutes, we didn’t notice it. There were some chips in the bathtub and it could’ve used better pillows but everything else was perfectly fine. They had a high-end steakhouse within the restaurant, and very close walking distance for several other very nice restaurants with a free shuttle easily accessible from the hotel that took you all over Chattanooga

The property was great. I rated Good not Excellent because the bathroom was wheelchair accessible & the shower water overflowed onto the floor. The bath rugs were soaking wet.

Over charged by Hotels.com
My stay was wonderful but you thieves charged me $323.00 more than the hotel's price for 4 nights. I will never book through Hotels.com again and will shout it loud and clear on social media that Hotels.com is a grift. On our last night the hotel's price for a room was $181 and you charged me $429. You have no phone number on your site and no way to get this straightened out.
