Really good Dining Experience

“During my stay at The Read House, I dined at Bridgeman's Chophouse and was blown away! The ambiance was good, and the meal was great. We couldn't resist trying the Bananas Foster Cheesecake, which was hands down the best dessert my husband and I have ever tasted. The in-house dining options truly made our stay nice.” view full review

Beautifully Renovated Rooms

“Our stay in Room 303 was a dream come true! The room was newly renovated, spacious, and beautifully captured the historic charm of the hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the decor transported us back to the roaring 20s. It was a perfect blend of modern comfort while maintaining a unique historical aesthetic.” view full review

Charming Old-World Touch

“The bathroom in our room had a unique vintage character that added to the charm of our stay. Although some features were quaint, the overall ambiance made us feel like we were enjoying a luxurious experience straight out of the 1920s. I appreciated the attention to detail in keeping with the hotel's historic theme.” view full review

Ghost Tour Adventure

“One of the highlights of our visit was the ghost tour of Room 311. The guide was amazing and shared intriguing stories that truly brought the hotel's history to life. It added an entertaining layer to our stay that made it exceptionally nice and unique!” view full review

7.8/10

The Read House offers a unique blend of historical charm and luxurious experience, making it a memorable stay. I found the atmosphere to truly transport me back in time, with stunning decor and exceptional staff. However, parking and room service could use improvements, especially during inclement weather. Overall, this hotel represents great value, particularly for those seeking a taste of history in their stay.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were beautifully decorated but felt a bit plain compared to the elaborate common areas. I expected a bit more flair for the price, yet they were clean and the bedding was incredibly comfortable.

Service

8.0

The service was noteworthy, with staff being attentive and very willing to assist guests. However, the valet service during rain was less than ideal, leaving me soaked.

Location

The hotel is ideally located, making it easy to explore Chattanooga's attractions and nearby dining options, which is a huge plus.

Dining

Dining options are somewhat limited, with room service or the Starbucks on-site. The restaurant within the hotel is top-notch but quite pricey.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel features beautiful common areas, though I felt the focus could be more on enhancing the room facilities. The indoor pool is a lovely addition.
