Refined elegance with amazing food around the corner.

Loved it! Stayed in the tower (?) the original rooms. Great old cast iron bathtub, super comfy bed. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance

I was probably lucky. I think I got a great rate for their 150th birthday.

Best hotel ever!

This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The decor of that time period and staff dressing in that era was great! Loved the staff and loved the bartenders! The price was really reasonable so if anyone thinks they can't afford it, go online and there is usually a special deal. I cannot say enough about this hotel. We will be back.

Nothing!

Tired but historic with great location

The location is wonderful, and it's a beautiful, historic hotel with lots of charm in the lobby and main areas. Our room was in the Manor section which is very tired. It was perfectly acceptable and clean, but dated. For example, it was a standard tub with plastic shower curtain and the tub resurfacing was peeling off. Tiles are old, low ceiling and bathroom and no fan. Muggy. No central air and just the manual window unit sheets were navy and uncomfortable, not soft. dinner at the restaurant was quite good. So while the room was disappointing it was perfectly fine, and we were grateful for the great location, good dinner and staff.

Fantastic and I highly recommend!!!

Beautiful and historic! It was also conveniently located to the event we were attending. The staff was extraordinary and the room was spotless and comfortable. We had breakfast in the room before we left and it was delicious!

The only thing I would have changed would be the shower head. The pressure was just ok and the type of spray couldn’t be adjusted.

Elegant and historic hotel with posh vibes, and great rooms, on-site restaurant and pool.

We loved the decor, classy but modern. The history was intriguing. The beds were amazing...so comfortable and the pillows were equally plush. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We dined at Bridgemans and it was superb and convenient. We leveraged the Starbucks for breakfast. My girls enjoyed the pool one evening...a big plus. And lastly we required assistance to and from our room because we were traveling with my elderly mother. The valet staff were so helpful and quick to help with luggage and retrieve the car. We will stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Service is good but sofa bed is uncomfortable.

The front desk staff who help with check-in. A service worker who helps make the sofa bed.

The manor- traditional double queen was too simple and crude and smells of mold which was waiting for renovation. The historic tower- executive suite looked great and the king bed in the bedroom was comfortable. But the sofa bed was so uncomfortable, because the spring was collapsed, the whole body would sink and feel every spring, need to renew…

Maybe not family safe after dark, clean room but very basic and outdated, severely overpriced!

I enjoyed the location at first, a lot of places to shop and eat are nearby. Also a lot of the city’s main attractions are within walking distance. Like I said, enjoyed it at first until we found out that a music festival which was two blocks away had a shooting incident. Me and my family was walking there when we decided to make a last minute change and go to a sports bar instead and watch a NCAA Basketball Elite 8 game.

Room was severely overpriced, I have stayed in much nicer rooms at a fraction of the cost.

very good but the pricing was high.

everything was great. Location is amazing. Hotel atmosphere was great. Beds were comfortable.

We had some problems when checking in with valet. And then no one asked to help with out luggage. Pricing was very high. It almost deterred me from staying there.

Wonderful two nights in a historic hotel with beautiful Christening decorations!

Location, cleanliness, kind staff, beautifully decor throughout, comfortable bed and bath, excellent bar and food…Stephen, the valet, was exceptionally kind and helpful. We hope to return for a long weekend in the near future…will always choose this hotel when visiting Chattanooga!

We loved the hotel and will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Chattanooga.

Beautiful hotel. Staff is top notch and seems really happy to make your stay a happy one. We really enjoyed the speakeasy bar and the beautiful lobby. Shout out to Alan at the front desk who was extra friendly and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived, as well as to the valet and the friendly doorman with the derby hat.

Water pressure in the shower. It wasn't bad, but could have been better. Definitely not a deal breaker.

We booked a basic room which is reflected in the low scores and not recommended

Refurbished rooms was very spacious and well appointed which we would have scored much higher. Its difficult to believe the 2 rooms were part of the same hotel.

Our original room which we did not accept had an extremely worn out bathroom which most people would find unacceptable.

I was on the 4th floor and it takes a bit for the water to heat up.

This is a top notch, stunning hotel from top to bottom!

Bar staff was excellent! Holly worked behind the bar alone Thursday night and the place was standing room only. There was a huge wedding party there. Holly never slowed down or lost her smile. The next night was dead at first but picked up heavily but Chandler did great. I had dinner at the bar both nights and the food was excellent. John at the hotel entrance was wonderful. So cordial and friendly. He also did a great job giving five of us a tour of room 311. He worked all day and still kept his awesome demeanor even for the tour late that night. The hotel is absolutely beautiful! One of my top favorites of all time!

As I was checking in, the couple next to me was also checking in. They had a guy checking them in and I had Mei. The guy gave the couple free champagne, this and that, I think a welcome bag. I got a business card to some restaurant for free Brussels sprouts. Oh, and the couple was in The Manor same as me. In the same type of room. I just felt like that because they were an older couple - and I was a single man - that they got different treatment. No biggie, really, but I’ve been in retail management for 36 years and equal treatment is important. Again, I loved the hotel! The check-in was my first impression but thankfully it went uphill from there!!

Beautiful hotel, historical building, but rundown outdatd room.

The hotel architecture, lobby, the historical part of it was very good. The location is great if you are looking for activities in the downtown.

In our room we had very run down bathroom, it was also dirty when we checked in. The carpet in the room smelled a bit, so quite outdated everything in the room. Noise level is high, I could hear all conversation of our neighbors. If someone closed the door in the hall our door was shaking and making noise.

Upscale lodging transports you back in time

The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The old charm feel is magnificent. Loved everything about my stay. Starbucks on site and beautiful bar transports you back in time.

Absolutely nothing it was perfect.

Elegant, fun, and friendly 1920s style hotel. Perfect walking distance to many great restaurants.

The hospitality was exceptional, and the atmosphere is elegant but fun! The front desk offered an upgrade from a manor room to a tower room for a reasonable price and we were NOT disappointed with our decision to upgrade. The tower rooms have more of a 1920s feel than the manor rooms. My husband and I come to Chattanooga a few times a year and have stayed at the Edwin and the Chattanoogan hotel, but this was our first time staying at the Read House. Our experience at the Read House was by far our favorite. We will definitely be staying at the Read House moving forward!

An impressive 'old style' hotel, run in a very modern way.

Very friendly personnel and an impressive interior. Good and quick-serviced valet parking. Very spacious room and excellent beds.

The bar is much too small for a real happy hour. About half of the visitors have to go out again by lack of room. No breakfast in location, but a very goor Diner on the next corner.
