    This wasn't my first stay at Chattanooga's Mainstay Suites, and I enjoyed it, as always. I've stayed at a few residence-style hotels, and it's made me appreciate this one more. I've noticed other residence sites often close their offices at 7:00, making late check-in difficult or impossible. This hotel keeps their clean, spacious lobby open and their office manned at all times: Anna was right there to check me in, cheerfully and efficiently. The room was clean, attractive, and open. It had everything I need. The full kitchen was separated from the living area by a big, stone counter that doubled as table and desk, with outlet and ethernet ports close by. Two full beds made for a comfortable sleep. If I'd had extra folks over, the sofa was a pull out sleeper with a memory foam mattress. Two minor suggestions: I'd love to see more than the one pier point on the nightstand between the two beds, and it would be great if each room had two or more dining chairs in addition to the one office chair that's provided. Overall, great job! I look forward to staying there again.

    Overall - good stay, decent price, needs a little work in renovating Pros: great location: near several restaurants - shoney's, texas roadhouse, firebox grill, wendy's, cracker barrel, and more. Nestled between other hotels. Right near the interstate and gas stations. The room was really nice - very comfortable bed, clean bathroom, a little kitchenette and table. The hotel lobby was clean and spacious, had a little store with vending machines and snacks. 30 mins from downtown so no overly crowded and noisy area. Cons: SMOKY smell, the hotel reeked of smoke it was, we had the non smoking hall but smoke travels and it smelled like it everywhere, luckily the room didn't smell of smoke. Breakfast was not that great but doable. Finally for fitness people the exercise room was ridiculously small - it had a bike, treadmill, and elliptical and 3 medicine balls, no room for anything else and small walk space

    Really enjoyed my stay at MainStay Suites in Chattanooga, what a home away from home & a welcome respite in the middle of travel. The staff was incredibly friendly & the room was spacious & deeply relaxing. I look forward to staying here the next time I could through Chattanooga!

    Great bathroom

    Thank you MainStay Suites for a great value! I had an early flight on my arrival day and I was worried about my room being ready, but there were no problems. The daytime front desk staff were super nice and very helpful and checked me in right away. The room has lots of amenities: a huge eat in kitchen and work area, great bathroom, large living area, pull out couch, super comfy beds and a safe for valuables. Great location too! The hotel is super close to the airport with a Mall across the highway and numerous restaurants and stores within walking distance. Downtown Chattanooga is just a short ride away and there are tons of things to do in the area. And of course the requisite complimentary continental breakfast to get my day started. #socialmediapromo #socialmediainfluencer #hotelsandresorts #mainstaysuiteschattanooga #mainstaysuites #ignitehospitalityservices #hotelphotography #workandtravel #Chattanooga #Tennessee

On our first night, we went to the hotel's speakeasy to unwind after a long travel day. I told the bartender I only wanted water because I was dehydrated and not looking to drink. Later she started telling me about a new drink they were adding to the menu and said, "Let me make you a drink." I agreed, assuming she was offering it as a courtesy since I had already made it clear I wasn't drinking alcohol that night. When we got the bill, she had charged me $11 for a vodka. That set the tone for the rest of the stay: staff doing the very least to help while making it seem like they're providing excellent service. Then the AC in our first room failed and the room phone didn't work either. We were traveling with our older dog who has a heart condition and cannot tolerate heat. At 10pm, the only options offered were to pack up everything and move rooms or use a box fan. This was our 10‑year wedding anniversary trip and we had to be up early the next morning. There was zero urgency from anyone on staff to find a better solution. The next morning, maintenance told us the thermostats were locked and couldn't be fixed onsite without someone offsite helping. So we had to move rooms anyway. Again, no urgency, no help, no concern. We packed everything ourselves and moved rooms alone. The girl at the front desk was completely useless in this process as well and told us that issues with the AC on the 4th floor were well known but they booked us on that floor anyway to pad their occupancy rate, I assume to influence their online rates. Additionally the hotel is wildly understaffed. Every day we were there only one person was working and handling the front desk, room service and acting as host for the speakeasy. This is potentially fine when there are no issues but when things go wrong, one person cannot man an entire hotel. This is not only unfair to the guests, it's unfair to the staff. The staff was also dressed unprofessionally. One front desk associate was wearing blue plaid pants with chains and a concert tee. THAT is how a hotel is representing itself?? No one wore name tags either, presumably for lack of accountability. Then on checkout day, the hotel had a full power outage. The AC went out across the entire building, again dangerous for our dog. My husband went to another floor to get ice and got trapped in the stairwell because the doors locked during the outage. He and the elevator repair man were stuck banging on the door for several minutes with a housekeeper nearby who didn't bother to check. He only got out because the elevator man let my husband use his phone to callme and I had to go let them out. We then had to drag our luggage down three flights of stairs with no assistance. There was no notification to guests on what was going on, no alarms, and not one staff member helping guests bring their luggage down the stairs. At the front desk, instead of apologizing or acknowledging any of this, the staff member just asked for our room number so she could check us out when the power came back. When I asked if the hotel had generators, she shrugged and said, "Yeah I think we do." Maintenance even needed OUR help to access floors and unlock stairwell doors because they didn't have proper access during the outage. Not one person apologized. Not one person tried to make anything better. It was excuse after excuse, no urgency, no concern for safety and no sense of responsibility. This entire stay was a disaster and an embarrassment to the Marriott brand. We will never stay here again and unless you like wasting your money you probably shouldn't either.

    I was in town for a wedding and this was the recommended hotel. I'm a Hilton Gold member and I was…read morerecognized as such when I checked in. The hotel is nice and spacious. My room was clean and very comfortable, with a small couch, table and chair. The bathroom was well kept, with plenty of space for your toiletries. However, I was given a room on the second floor that looked out onto the lobby roof and the parking garage. I expected a room with a better view given my Gold status. The staff was pleasant and helpful. However, I found the internet appeared to be spotty at times. You had to reconnect every morning to the internet, which I do not recall this being required at other Hilton properties I stayed at, especially a Curio Collection hotel. In addition, you sometimes had to reconnect while in your room. One day, I went down to breakfast and although I re-checked onto the internet that morning, by the time I got downstairs, it was off again and I had to re-check in again. The parking garage on the property was free (you need to pull a ticket at first), and you get in and out with your room key. However, if you should stay passed your checkout time (like I did for lunch), when I went to use the key to leave the garage, it did not work. I had to repark, go back to the Front Desk and get the key card re-programmed. The gentleman at the Front Desk said the key card becomes nonresponsive at checkout time. I recommend the Front Desk inform its guests of this cutoff so that if you should enjoy lunch there or want to walk around the area before leaving, you are aware of this situation before you walk out to the garage and have to come back in.

The property is beautiful,…read morespacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for conventions, conferences, and large events without ever feeling crowded. My room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly large, with beautiful views of the city. The staff was welcoming, and the overall atmosphere felt upscale while still being relaxed and inviting. One of the highlights of my stay was dining at Forge, the hotel's restaurant. If you visit, do yourself a favor and order the Honey Whipped Feta. The creamy, silky feta paired with sweet honey and served with charred baguette was absolutely delicious and one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. Between the comfortable accommodations, excellent dining options, and convenient location, The Chattanoogan is a fantastic choice whether you're visiting for business, a convention, or a weekend getaway. I'd happily stay here again.

From the moment I walked in, the place had that polished, easygoing vibe that makes you feel like you made the right call before you even hit the elevator. The environment is genuinely nice, some vintage Volkswagens were on display in the lobby... the kind of space that feels welcoming instead of transactional. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and, most importantly, stayed that way because housekeeping actually serviced them daily. That alone feels like a luxury these days. The location is not exactly the crown jewel of Chattanooga, but it nails the one thing that matters when you're traveling: convenience. It's easy to get where you need to go, easy to get back, and easy to settle in without feeling like you're fighting the city. And the staff? Warm, friendly, and consistently helpful. The kind of team that makes hospitality feel like hospitality. But the moment that won me over was the Little Debbie snack waiting in the room at check-in. That tiny touch somehow said, "Welcome to Tennessee, we speak fluent comfort food." A good hotel gives you a room. A great one gives you a reason to smile before you even unpack. That's exactly what this place gets right. It may not sit in the most exciting location, but it absolutely understands the guest experience. Clean rooms, daily service, kind staff, and just enough thoughtful touches to make the stay memorable. So I came in expecting standard hotel beige and left thinking about snack cakes, spotless rooms, and how easy they made the whole trip feel. Four stars, and yes, Little Debbie absolutely helped close the deal. And the VW's are a nice twist too!
