Lodge at Lookout Mtn
Pros:

It was private. There was a nice back area we enjoyed. The parking lot was hard to leave from but that’s not the lodge’s fault. Easy to find.

Pros:

the room was small it felt claustrophobic , it was clean and the bed was nice , it had a nice bathroom , but the water pressure in the shower was not good , the room had a very damp musky / mold smell to it which was causing my wife to have breathing difficulties and therefore we had to cut our losses and only stay 1 night instead of 2. the lodge is right of a main road so it was pretty noisy with traffic going by throughout the night and morning.

Pros:

Super convenient, cute property, more private than a typical hotel, loved the option of the outdoor are and grill. My only complaint would be that it wasn't super clean, the floor under the couch was a mess, the floor was not very clean in general, there was someone's laptop and dirty socks left behind, the mirror in the bathroom was dirty, the table and chairs still had crumbs but aside from that we would absolutely stay again.

Pros:

There is about a 2" gap in the top part of the door. You could hear everything that was outside. The pictures are not accurate as to what the room truly looked like. There were several bugs on the floor and the door did not lock well. We did not end up staying here.

Pros:

The rooms were very cleam and updated. We were concerned about close proximity to the road however it did not present a noise issue. Would recommend better blackout blinds for front windows facing parking area. One night a car parked with its lights shinning in the window for about 30minutes. Overall pleasant quaint and price point was perfect.

Pros:

The rooms were very clean and updated. The exterior is dated and does not represent the interior. I was concerned when I went to my door but was pleasantly surprised when I entered my room. My door code did not work but that was quickly resolved by text after hours. The entrance is on a dangerous curve. There is a gas fire pit and covered picnic tables in the rear which are maintained well. It is conveniently located to the major attractions and downtown. I would stay there again!

Pros:

What a great little no hassle/having to deal with the front desk experience. The place was clean, well equipped, maintained and comfortable. The team was extremely responsive and friendly. Overall I was worried about other reviews and the noise from the road but it wasn’t an issues as it quiets down. It is fun to see the Harley guys roll on past on their awesome bikes.

The property does have that murdered in the mountains vibe at the road side motel…but that’s what I was going for in booking my stay. Overall excellent place to stay while passing through. Always love to find new spots in Chattanooga on my way to visit family.

I would recommend this to anyone that doesn’t have a stick up their ass.
