The Chattanooga Choo Choo has a big heart and our kids (5 and 2) had a grand time. Overall, we're glad we stopped here on our way from the Midwest to Florida. The main lobby is a trip back in time, and the offbeat train-related attractions around the property were a lot of fun--climbing on an old steam engine and... More

We have guest that come from all over the world to visit. Most recently our guest from Turkey wanted to return back to the Chattanooga Choo Choo. After a 7 day stay, they are still impressed with the friendliness of the staff and how safe they felt while staying. They love the "Station House" and say it is so unique... More

The idea behind this hotel is a good one. They have converted the old Chattanooga Railway Station, some adjoining buildings, and a few old train carriages (still on the rails) into a hotel and a couple of restaurants and a shop. The concept is so good that I am sure that, if someone invested a few million dollars in it,... More

Overall this was an amazing trip. Seeing the excitement on my 2.5 year olds face when he realized we would be sleeping on a choo choo was priceless. The room (rail car) was dated which wasn't an issue but it was in desperate need of some elbow grease. When we first got there the carpet from the door to the... More

My room was in Building #3. Plenty of room for solo guest,comfortable bed, nice but small balcony overlooking beautiful and functional pool (you can get away with smoking which is why I mention small balcony!) My friends in the other 2 buildings were not impressed. Property being gradually renovated but in my opinion, your stay would be most enjoyable in... More

Yes, this an old, historic hotel. So, you expect things to not be a "five star" environment. The pros: Really neat setting. Tons of stuff to do in and around the property. Has a nostalgic feel. Room was relatively modern and clean. Staff is very friendly. I could see where it'd be fun to bring a family with young kids.... More

When you step aboard one of the historical train cars, you can't but wonder how many others rode that car during its glory days. It's the most unique stay we have had in our travels....including several island hops. And just a hundred yards away was the free electric shuttle which takes you all over downtown Chattanooga. And we would add... More
