We love visiting The Read House. The staff is always wonderful. The rooms are lovely. We enjoyed snacking at the bar this time. If I had anything negative to say it would be that our room needed new mattresses. Normally the mattresses are heavenly. This time, you could tell they were a little softer.

This hotel is very nice, has a bit of elegance to it without the high price tag. Upon arrival we valleyed our vehicle, staff was pleasant and our room was nice. To have your vehicle valleyed its $30 per night which was not mentioned to me but since ok since i didn't have to park my car. There is no place for breakfast in the hotel so you will have to find a place for breakfast. There is a bar lounge which is nice. Beds were comfortable and overall pleasant experience. I would stay here again if i am ever back in Chattanooga.
