Comfort Inn Chattanooga Downtown Southside
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if price is your main concern and you have a car: it was the cheapest of our three Chattanooga picks by a wide margin. If you want to walk to the aquarium or the museums, the extra money for our other picks buys a much better position and score.

Drivers on a budget get the most from this 4-star Comfort Inn. Free parking is listed, guests like the easy highway access, and the reference price was about half the city median. Families can use the listed family rooms and the pool.
Look elsewhere if you want to step out of the door and walk to the main sights. Every landmark in our data is more than 30 minutes away on foot. It also scored the lowest of the 8 hotels we compared, at 8.1, so expectations should match the price.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at 2420 Williams Street, south of downtown. Its location score is 8.2, the weakest point in its profile.
Ruby Falls is 2.6 km away, about 33 minutes on foot. The Tennessee Aquarium is 3 km, around 38 minutes, and the Hunter Museum of American Art is 3.1 km, about 39 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so real walks will take longer. All three are far enough that you should plan on a car, a taxi or public transport.
Guests describe downtown attractions as a short drive. That matches the data: close by car, not close on foot.
What guests say
Room cleanliness earns the most praise. Reviewers say rooms stay tidy and well kept throughout the stay.
The other positive is access. People like getting on and off the highway quickly.
Breakfast draws mixed comments. It includes hot items such as eggs and waffles, but guests note there is no fresh fruit. The listed breakfast style is continental and buffet. Check whether it is included in your rate.
Price compared with our other two Chattanooga picks
For a 2-night stay from 10 to 12 November 2026, 2 adults and one room, we saw €91.14 a night, roughly €182 in total. That is 45% below the €165.03 median of the hotels compared. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
The gap to our other picks is large. The Read House Hotel, our Luxury choice, scored 9.2 at €163.32 a night. The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo, our Best Value choice, scored 9.1 at €184.13. Oddly, the Luxury pick was cheaper than the Best Value one on our reference dates, so compare both if you can stretch your budget.
What you get here for the lower price: a gym, a pool, free parking, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a breakfast offer. You give up score and walkability.

We compared 8 eligible hotels in Chattanooga. After setting aside the upscale choice, this was the lowest eligible reference price, which is how our Budget slot works. It ranked joint last on guest score at 8.1, which is still a solid result from 510 reviews.
