Downtown
Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain at least a 10-minute drive away
This lower-middle-range Fairfield Inn is a good option for
budget-minded travelers who don’t mind being a short drive from downtown
Chattanooga in exchange for a cheaper price
tag. The 90-room property offers high-quality rooms with microwaves and mini-fridges, and family-friendly features, such as an indoor pool, free breakfast with waffle station, and Studio rooms with separate living areas. The hotel is easy to reach on Interstate 24, but is at least a 10-minute drive from Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga. The Hampton Inn next door has an outdoor pool with slide, and may be worth checking out, too.

Scene
Bright colors and loud carpeting, with a warm and welcoming vibe
The hotel sports a standard chain hotel look from the exterior, a
four-story beige box. Inside, however, the decor is vibrant -- almost to the point of
tacky -- with loud carpeting in bright blues and neon citrus tones throughout the common areas and hallways. But there is nice natural light in the welcoming lobby, where a couple of pink armchairs and a cushioned bench surround a gas fireplace. The reception desk is basic wood laminate, as are the shelves lined with a couple of red and green vases. A few more lime-green, faux-leather benches are tucked into a corner. There is a table with
free coffee and tea available all day. The dining room is also vibrant and similarly multi-colored, with a
green and orange palette. Several four- and two-top tables have comfortable, cushioned chairs, while a high countertop provides outlets for working and faces a flat-screen TV. Guests include a mix of families and tourist couples, many in town for access to Lookout Mountain. The hotel also draws some business travelers, with its spacious banquet/presentation room -- a well-lit space decorated in neon green and bright blue.
Location
On a hill about 10 minutes from Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga
This hotel is
located up on a large hill shared with another Marriott property with the same owners. Down the hill are a gas station, other hotels, and various casual and fast-food restaurants. There is nothing of much interest
within walking distance, but Interstate 24 is right around the corner.
The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from Lookout Mountain and its historical
attractions, as well as from downtown Chattanooga and its family hotspots, such
as the aquarium, IMAX center, and Creative Discovery Museum. The hotel is about a
15-minute drive from Rock City, with ancient rock formations and gardens. It's a seven-minute drive from Ruby Falls, a
20-minute drive from Chattanooga Airport (without traffic), and about two hours from Nashville and
Huntsville airports.
Rooms
Bright and fresh rooms
Subtler than the lobby, rooms are decorated with just a couple
splashes of vibrant lime-green. The rooms are reliably clean and spacious, though with chain-standard furniture and little decoration. Beds are large and comfortable, with crisp, white blankets and padded headboards. Each room has a wooden desk with rolling chair. All rooms also have free Wi-Fi, HDTVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, and ironing facilities. There are nice views of Lookout
Mountain in the distance from some rooms, and bathrooms are relatively large, with attractive, dark-granite countertops and white shower/tub combos. The Studio
rooms are great for groups and families -- each has a separate bedroom and living room divided by a wall, along with a sofa-bed and two flat-screen TVs.

Free parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast, plus indoor pool and large meeting room

all the necessary audiovisual equipment. Pets are not allowed at this hotel.
