Chattanooga Motels

Our stay here was good and not-so good. We requested a ground floor room and that's what we got, which some hotels won't do if we arrive later in the day. We were able to park right at the door. Room and everything was pretty clean. The things we used worked well (refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer) but I didn't see an ironing board. TV worked fine. The shower worked well and had one of those shower curtain rods that gives you more room. The sink/counter area was large and separate from the toilet tub. The breakfast was okay with hot scrambled eggs & sausage, biscuits & gravy, packaged pastries, bagels, some cereal, juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. There were washers and dryers in the room where the pool is. We didn't try the pool but it was large and indoors and looked nice. There was a $100 deposit and since we paid with a credit card, they said there would be no problem about having to pay it in cash. On the negative side: The room had an odor... not really smoke but something that wasn't particularly pleasant. The room felt very humid and ”sticky” despite the a/c working to lower the temperature. I didn't like the feel of the tile floors on my bare feet. There was no tissue in the tissue dispenser. Although there was room for a table and chair, there wasn't any. We ate our carry-out dinner sitting on the bed. Pillows were only okay and all were the same. Toilet/tub area was very small. No elevator for 2nd floor rooms.

If being saturated in the smell of sewage (I assume from the nearby city sewer system), being terminally tormented by the tedious sounds of traffic, cringing all night at the excruciating cacophony of construction activity, wincing at the grating sound of city vehicles cleaning streets and emptying dumpsters outside your room all night, being deafened at 4 a. m. by a diesel delivery truck parked outside your room running their refrigeration units at 120 decibels and clanging on metal unloading ramps loudly enough to wake the deceased, and a general unawareness of and indifference to your suffering and the very idea that a lodger might wish to sleep at night are what you seek, this hotel is for you! The hotel was clean and neat inside the room and conveniently located near City Cafe and a public transport stop, however, the notion that a lodger might desire sleep seems to have escaped them. In my personal experience Hotel Bo now has pride of place for providing (or not providing, rather) the worst night of ”sleep” (torture, rather) at a hotel that I have had in half a century. I honestly could have slept in my truck in a Walmart parking lot and been happier and more rested right now. I find it humorously ironic, I guess, that I arrived after midnight due to a difficult journey thinking I would crash hard and sleep through any disturbance a hotel might have the capacity to conjure up in the night, not knowing that the fates were already laughing devilishly at what they had planned for me at Hotel Bo. So, here I sit at City Cafe (since 5 a. m., by the way) musing to myself about my own idiocy. Caveat emptor.

By Far The Worst Hotel I'VE Seen. Walked In, Walked out. Girl passed out at the top of steps. Door busted in. Blood and burnholes on sheets and some type of crusty substance on bedspread. The air unit was leaking and I used a towel to wipe it up, as you can see in the pictures, the floor was black. There was toilet paper crammed into the peephole because it had been knocked out and was no longer there. The bathroom door had been kicked in so hard it had split and the wood was coming through. It would not close. At the bottom of the stairs were 2 more homeless people with backpacks, food, drinks and carrying a portable TV. I stepped over the passed out girl twice and she never moved. I was beginning to wonder if she had overdosed but I didn't want to get involved. In the parking lot I was approached twice by people asking for money. I got into my car and called Red Roof guest relations. I explained my situation and that I was afraid to stay there alone for 2 nights. I asked if she could simply move me to the Lookout Mountain location. I explained I completely understand there would be a price increase and I would happily pay the difference even though I felt I should not have too. She told me she could not help me I had checked in. I told her I went in looked at the disgusting room and street people and came back out. I also explained to her it was my understanding that as a redirewards member I had until 4pm to cancel or change my reservation. She said not if you have went into the room. I needed to go back to the front desk. I told her I was scared to be there and since she did not want to help me in anyway I would get in touch.with Chase bank and let them get involved. I immediately called my credit card company who advised me to leave the keys in room and leave, not to stay if I felt threatened. I was there with my chihuahua and I don't mean to sound pretentious, but I drive a Mercedes convertible and I really did not think it would be there if I spent the night there. My husband and I have worked hard for what we have so the people asking for money was ridiculous. I read reviews and most of the time take them with a grain of salt. There are people that will never be satisfied no matter what. I have exaggerated nothing in this review. If you have any other option at all, take it. Do not stay here. Also....the pics of the rooms on this site, ********** and Red Roof website are all fake. Nothing looks like any of these pic as you can see by mine.

Free breakfast is great! Rich in content, cereals, bread, cakes, scrambled eggs, beef patties, coffee, milk, fruits, etc., although Western food, also eat full. The rooms are small and the facilities are simple but clean and tidy. You can also stay with a 14-year-old child. It takes ten minutes to eat and supermarket, and parking is free.

What a nice experience! Checked into the hotel and was pleasantly surprised. The room was very large, clean and furnished well. Do not be discouraged by reviews saying it is in a bad location. They are many other hotel and restaurants nearby and all within walking distance. It is only about 1-1/2 blocks from the main street which you exit onto from I-75. This will be our go to place in Chatanooga for now on. 1 of the nicest budget hotels we have stayed in using our Wyndham Rewards.
