Guest services were friendly and accommodating. The Station House restaurant food was nothing to write home about but the atmosphere was entertaining, enjoyable, friendly & not so loud that you could hear yourself talk.

What a perfect weekend! The weather was cool and very wet but we had a wonderful time. After arriving on Friday evening we decided to stay in even though we had reservations downtown.

My fiancé and I took our two 9 year old nieces to the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel over Spring Break 2013 (first week in April). I read the reviews here and saw many concerns about the cleanliness of the rooms; so I can admit that I was a little apprehensive. I'd never been to this hotel. However, my fiancé visited... More

Recently, I stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo for one night. I got an incredible deal on another site. However, it was worth what we paid for it.

This hotel is situated in the old terminus station made famous in the Glen Miller hit tune from the 1930's. It is clean, comfortable and with a good restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. The adjacent shops and "railwayana" are all worth seeing. if you want you can also sleep in one of the rail cars from that era. It... More

The Chattanooga Choo Choo has a big heart and our kids (5 and 2) had a grand time. Overall, we're glad we stopped here on our way from the Midwest to Florida. The main lobby is a trip back in time, and the offbeat train-related attractions around the property were a lot of fun--climbing on an old steam engine and... More

The idea behind this hotel is a good one. They have converted the old Chattanooga Railway Station, some adjoining buildings, and a few old train carriages (still on the rails) into a hotel and a couple of restaurants and a shop. The concept is so good that I am sure that, if someone invested a few million dollars in it,... More
