This hotel is located at the top of the art district in Chattanooga, offering a convenient location close to everything we wanted to explore without tiring ourselves out. The rooms are adorned with all the antiques, providing a unique charm, but the dining experience may vary as meals are served at the coffee shop opposite. The service, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, was excellent, and the price for the value is reasonable.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated with all the antiques, and having a balcony was a lovely touch. The service was impeccable, from the housekeeping to the warm welcome drink. The location couldn't have been more perfect, situated at the top of the art district and within easy reach of everything we wanted to explore, including the Aquarium. The dining options, although provided free at the Rembrandt's Coffee House, were not the best as it was served at the coffee shop opposite by way of a voucher. Despite this, the facilities were top-notch, offering a comfortable stay.
