Top St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Clemons

8/10 Good

"Nice property. Built-in 1918 as a furniture factory. Converted to offices, then to apartments, then to hotel rooms. Had a hassle with the electronic key. A QR code for the parking lot did not work. Would not return unless they got new mattresses, which were in very poor shape."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown/South

8/10 Good

"My stay at La Quinta in Chattanooga was very pleasant. The room was exceptionally clean, and overall the hotel was well maintained. The breakfast was okay, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a positive experience and would stay here again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Lookout Mountain West

8/10 Good

"Clean and well lit parking areas. One of the downsides to cars parking outside your room is the one guy that goes in and out of his car a dozen times at 6a, locking and unlocking it each and everytime. The rooms were really the cleanest I’ve seen in a long time. No dirt, no odors, no major stains. White linens and towels smelled clean and were soft. The pool looked like fun for the kids. Unless you absolutely need a free meal and coffee I’d plan on that from elsewhere. The coffee can get you by, but the juices and food were not even appealing, tasty or healthy. The staff wasn’t very friendly. I asked for a couple extra paper coffee cups because the ones in the room were already out of the plastic and they needed my room number, like I might steal them. Outside of the desk person greeting me when I arrived, nobody else could say hi. One of the Indian/S.Asian ladies (looked like owner/manager) gave a lot of mean eyes like my 60 year old self was a teenager skateboarding all around the place. But if you want a clean bed at an affordable price this place was it."

Sonesta Select Chattanooga Hamilton Place

8/10 Good

"This hotel is very close to airport around 10min from Chattanooga airport, it’s modern in the reception area, the carpet in the room could do with a deep clean, and the window runners. Breakfast ends at 10.00 which was not enough time for me when on holiday. There is no lift so means lifting your luggage up stairs. So my overall rating is 4 stars good but needs more improvements. No room safe, so you have to take all your valuable with you every day."
