Great room and friendly staff. You need to up your game if you are after business travelers. Two observations. One - Zero food available after 10pm is a problem for late arrivals or those working and losing track of the time. Even a bar menu would be an improvement from the current situation. Two - No desks/work lighting in room makes it almost impossible to prep for business the next day. The small round table and dining room chair were short of the mark. I ended up working at a game table in the lobby. Otherwise, no complaints. Love the character of the place and, again, staff were very nice.

The Read House is more then a place to lay your head after a day of exploring Chattanooga, it is an experience. We have stayed here multiple times in the historic portion of the hotel and each time had a wonderful stay. The staff is friendly. The lobby and public areas are beautifully decorated, transporting you to a different era. Centrally located it is walkable to all the attractions in the city yet not to close so you can get some quite time when you return to your spotlessly clean room and ultra comfortable bed. I cannot say enough good things about this historic hotel. You will not be disappointed if you choose this as your destination stay.

The sound of water running through pipes for the entire stay was really unpleasant, there is also public parking across the street from the hotel, I did not know this until I heard valet sending another guest across the street, after I’d already been charged $80. I also called guest services, and waited three hours for a response. Service is not at the level you would expect from a nice hotel like this is striving to be.
