Fun vibe, super low key friendly staff, convenient location. Bathtub in the Pink Lady suite is terrific and so squeaky clean I didn't hesitate to take advantage of it.

The too was great. The staff were professional and friendly. We very much enjoyed this quirky, deco era boutique hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the bathroom was updated enough to be comfortable. I’ll happily come back to this homey place. The young woman who checked us in, the 3rd shift guy who said he was weird and even the maid, they were all great! Thanks for making us feel so comfortable.
Fantastic staff super friendly. The room was awesome. The artistic style of the hotel was dope. My girlfriend absolutely loved it

The room was clean and big. Great decor. Loved the tub and fireplace. The bar was really good and staff were very nice. Didnt love the paper thin walls. We could hear people coming and going all day and night. We were next to the stairs in the Palm Springs room and sometimes it sounded like people were knocking on or trying to get in the door. Parking was great though. We will be back with a different room.

We absolutely loved the Dwell Hotel! It has so much character and our room was large with a huge bathtub, sitting area and balcony. The hotel has plenty of quaint sitting areas and 2 lounges and a fun bar. The bar was closed on Tuesday when we arrived, so the front desk staff provided free wine and beer which we enjoyed in the lounge while playing a game. There were lots of great restaurants and a whiskey tour walking distance away. We also enjoyed white water rafting and hikes to waterfalls with refreshing swimming holes. All in all 5 star experience with the hotel and the area.

We loved our stay! The staff were lovely and helpful. The room was small but decorated beautifully.
The street we felt was a little suspect when we came back in late at night, but besides that we had a wonderful stay!

We were made very welcome by the whole team at The Dwell, the room was very cozy with the fireplace when needed and the bathroom was beautiful. We also made use of the Matilda cocktail lounge which was a comfortable setting.
We will definitely stay again when in Chattanooga.
