"I’ve been wanting to visit the dual hotel since I discovered it back in 2019. I finally got my opportunity a few weeks ago when my daughter and I decided to go away for a quick girls weekend vacation. We have the opportunity to stay in the convex room, which was a king suite. The room was clean had so much charm and a beautiful balcony overlooking the charming downtown area.

Top MLK University Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites By Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, but a bit smaller than I expected for a “suite” hotel. I stayed at an Embassy Suites a couple of times in the past and it was an actual suite back then. The location is good if you want to do things downtown such as visiting the aquarium and going to the IMAX theatre. Several good restaurants are close by, and it is right next to an AMC movie theater. The breakfast is good enough to have a couple times; after that you will be looking for something else. Parking is basically by valet, which we don’t really like because it’s a hassle if you want to retrieve something from your vehicle, plus every time you go anywhere by car you feel obliged to tip twice, both when picking up and dropping back off. Overall a decent hotel."

Spark by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Clean room, friendly staff. Wanted more protein/meat options for the breakfast. Our check in staff was on a call on speaker with her sister while checking us in. Strange and unprofessional. The evening guy the second night kept the pool open later for us and we were so thankful for that."

Staybridge Suites Chattanooga Downtown - Convention Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very nice and helpful, Everything was immaculately clean, Room looked brand new and clean. It was nice to have a full kitchen with everything you'd need for cooking a great meal. The breakfast buffet had hot fresh and very tasty food. We loved this hotel and plan to use Staybridge suites downtown Chattanooga every time we come back to the area."
