"We visit Chattanooga often and usually stay at a different place. That place was booked so we tried Embassy Suites. We will now be staying at Embassy Suites during our visits to Chattanooga and we will be looking at them when we travel to other locations. We really could not have been happier with the staff. They were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the breakfast was the best that I have had in a hotel for some time and we really enjoyed the pool. All in all a great stay."
