Our first time staying in this type of accommodation and it was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to, check in was easy, the room itself was clean and spacious, love that they provided a heater because I get cold so easily, and the bathrooms were roomy and clean. Parking was easy once we figured it out. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay but the walls are pretty thin. I felt like I could hear everyone’s conversation. So a little nosier than we normally go for lol but overall we had a pleasant stay. I loved the little kitties that came up too; don’t know if that’s a normal thing or not.

The place gives it a bed and breakfast vibes that is close to downtown. Love the rocking chairs and porch swing, greeted by the cute fur babies that lives there. The love the access to share the kitchen, laundry area and bathrooms...the parking lot has an incline hill so if you ride a motorcycle, please be aware of the surroundings , i have dropped my motorcycle, had help to get it up. Not the end of the world. Definitely love this place and will book again when i visit.

It was an amazing stay. I failed to see the detail about the shared bathroom when I booked, but it was no problem! The room was perfect! I loved the staff. The shared kitchen worked flawlessly. You could prepare all your meals there. It was a Hostel on steroids!!! I mean that as a HUGE compliment!!!

Hostel close to McKenzie Stadium
We stayed at the Heinsman because it is a short walk from McKenzie Stadium. It's very clean and we got our entry and room code in advance. I didn't realize that it is a hostel when I booked and that is on me. There are no private bathrooms, but there are shared bathrooms at the end of the hall, and that is not ideal for an older couple. Our room overlooked a bar patio that was going strong until the wee hours so we got little sleep. Might not be a problem for partiers, but not for us.

Experience Chattanooga With Vintage Charm Amenitie
It was different. My son felt like he experienced what it would be like to live in a college dorm. There was an old world charm. Good location. Very relaxing. Great for the price.

Better off elsewhere…
This place is FAR from being considered a hotel and this has no place on Hotels.com. Shared bathrooms that were located at the opposite end of the building from our room. We were “greeted” by a barking dog upon arrival. Our luck, said dog was in the adjacent room to ours. Baby bath tub was in the shower when we arrived and some woman’s hair stuck to shower walls. Our room was flooded with light from the street. We tossed and turned for one night of our 3 night “stay” then bailed and found a nicer, ACTUAL hotel. Of course our reservation was “non-refundable”…so a big waste of about $350 dollars or so. The only redeemable quality is that it was close to a couple of cool bars around the corner, otherwise this place was a bust.
