Clean, very roomy, comfortable bed and linens. However, the lightening was VERY dim. I realize that it was part of the ambience, but I really couldn’t see very well at all.

Overall our stay was great. We were a bit disappointed when we couldn't get a drink later in the evening due to a water problem at the bar in Elsie's Daughter, but that was just a coincidental event. One of the lights to the left of the TV flickered in our room when it was adjusted to full power, but it stopped if we turned it down a bit.

this was our first stay in Chattanooga; we'll be back. Didn't realize there were so many things to see and do. I didn't get the young mens names when we checked in and out, but they were very friendly, kind, and informative. Just wish the elevator was a bit bigger for the luggage cart. tight squeeze, but we did enjoy our stay
