This is the cheapest place to stay for two in Chattanooga that I found. I picked it because I'm poor and really don't care if my accommodations are meh. That being said, the rooms were generally decent. The positives were: The customer service was decent, the rooms were spacious, the parking was more than adequate, everything was relatively clean, a fridge and microwave are in each room, and a TV is provided (though we didn't use it). The negatives, however, were: We did have a few cockroaches in our room (which seems pretty normal in this area of the country), the clothing rack was broken, there were a number of holes in the walls, and the plumbing didn't include cold water (may not be location's fault).
Wonderful getaway escape that was except I couldn't figure the TV out.
Helping a friend out. $70 a day. Good cable through direct TV included. It's convenient. Directly across a very busy Ringgold road but convenient.
They are very polite and helpful. I've been there for 4yrs and really like my home there. If you have an issue, they attend to it ameedatly. Would recommend it to anyone.
You get what you pay for. Some people posted bad reviews about this motel. However, it was only $45 dollars. Don't expect a 5 star resort for $45. Just like you wanted a new Benz for $500. Therefore, it was 4 stars for $45. I was satisfied for the price.
Pete is the best and always friendly! Room will be clean and if you have issues they are resolved asap. Nice lil duck off and chill spot where you can mind your own business.
Right in the middle of everything we wanted to do. 20 minutes from ruby falls, lookout mt, 10 min from zoo and aquarium. Room was really big. Never saw roaches, no loud music. It’s older but at the price it’s to be expected. Stayed from a Saturday to a Friday.
Staff was wonderful. Plenty of parking. Clean rooms. Love the set up too. Ground level rooms appreciated.
I’ve always enjoyed the cascade it’s always cheap and has rooms available. And They are all different. It’s right outside the east ridge tunnels. It’s easy to get anywhere walking wise. They have a cheap weekly rate as well but I think depending on if they know you prices can be different.
They are clean. Didn't see roaches. Nice size rooms. If they could provide a good priced weekly rating. And maybe some live in if stay there almost forever. They have shopping centers nearby as well.
This humble, low-rise motel is 3 miles from Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park, 5 miles from Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park, and 7 miles from the Tennessee Aquarium.
