This is a great hotel for holding a historical based get-together like a convention. Annie Still has helped the SRHA plan and execute three conventions there and each one was perfectly managed by her and her staff.

We spent a weekend in Chattanooga and stayed here. This trip was just for relaxing, and that's what we did. Spent some time in the pool, which was indoors of the building where we stayed. (There are 3 hotel buildings on the property, plus the train car rooms). We spent a good deal of time in our room too, just... More

Overall it was pleasant, the staff, and I mean all the staff, are pleasant and say hi, or good morning. I did not stay or eat in the train cars. We stayed in Hotel #3, they have 20 acres, three hotels and three pools, lots of parking. We had a buffet that was catered and the food was very good.... More

Wanting to get away for a small weekend trip at the last minute the Choo Choo was our last resort of hotel possibilities. The reviews had us hesitant to book but since it was the last hotel in town for the weekend we did. Specifically we were wanting a family package for the Aquarium, since the Choo Choo had it... More

Walk into the beautiful Grand Lobby and be ready for a Grand Getaway! Sarah welcomed us to the Choo Choo and even allowed us to choose the perfect train car for us. We did not meet one staff memeber who was not super nice! We parked our car and spent the next two days enjoying the grounds. We walked through... More

Beautiful lobby but terrible odor of smoke. Checked in and went straight to our room. In the hallway ceiling the air conditioner was leaking so bad that water was heavily dripping - looked as though it was going to fall out of the ceiling. Hallways smelled of smoke and mildew. The room was like a really old, old Holiday Inn... More

I was a single adult on a trip and stayed in one of the buildings. I would not stay here unless you have kids with you. Main entry was nice. The restaurant choices were fine for kids and couples. Rooms were ok but worn down, hallways and stairwells were dirty. If I had my kids I would definitely try a... More

I have enjoyed reading the reviews. Some were very amusing- my favorite was the one that appreciated the fact they brought in the train tracks for "ambiance"- some you could certainly tell were written by folks with a certain sense of entitlement "paid $59.00 on hotwire" and then proceeded to comb through the room looking for a smear or smudge...

We stayed here for 2 nights recently as part of an organised tour but if we had had a choice this would not have been it! Our main complaint was that it was in a run-down area of town with only a couple of other restaurants but otherwise dead! No shops at all,buildings boarded up etc.Quite depressing. Our room was...
