Bad shower, great hotel otherwise

We came to Chattanooga as first timers and heard great things about the hotel. It was a beautiful stay with a wonderful dinner at Bridgeman's. The only compaint that I had was the shower in the premier suite. The pressure was terrible and the nozzle was not adjustable. As someone who has very thick hair, there was no way I was able to wash it with such poor water pressure.
