It was very clean and staff was friendly. The hotel lobby was lovely and the area all around the Choo Choo was nice. However, We chose to stay in one the actual train cars which really was just a novelty. It was dark in the room, with little space to move around. We were told it would accommodate 3 adults but the sofa wasn’t a pull out but had a small 2 ft wide trundle that pulled out. We had one person end up sleeping on the sofa instead. There was a leak at the entrance to the restroom that made the carpet and floor wet. We told management but they never sent anyone and it was much worse by the time we checked out. We will stay in a regular hotel room from now on and check the train car off the bucket list!!

We meet relatives here for the first time. We really enjoyed the hotel. It reminded us of the Queen Mary Ship we stayed at in Cal. The furinshings were of a different era but updated. Lots to do within walking distance with top resturants. We ate at Henna Steak House and we highly recommend. The staff were very attentive to our needs.. We'll be back.

I stayed in the hotel with my GF for the night after a concert at the signal. BEST DECISION! It’s located near places to eat, and if you go see a concert you can just walk right across the parking lot to your room. No need to worry about parking. Only issue with the room was the shower curtain in our double room was not long enough and some water got on the floor as we showered. That was the only issue. GF and I will say again. By far the best hotel I’ve stayed at!

Super convenient, walkable area. We loved exploring around the grounds with the old train cars and getting snacks at The Caboose by the pool. The room was exceptionally clean. Will definitely stay here again when I’m Chattanooga.
