Less than stellar review

Reviewed Jun 16, 2021
Vacay w/grandkids, arrived Sunday at approx. 5:00PM EST and we were informed at check-in that there would be no housekeeping available during our stay. Found it a bit out of the ordinary, but grandkids were ready for soon pool time and so were we. Caution... Pool was over chlorinated to the point that it started to burn our throats and eyes. Needless to say pool time lasted less than 30minutes. Day two, informed manager on duty that the chlorine level was so high as to cause a burning sensation in both throat and eyes. To their credit all they did was open the door to the patio area with a trash can. Day three, pool still over chlorinated and no pool time. Day four, asked the duty manager Andrea to please service the room, only to be told that "Yes" rooms can be serviced but only after providing a 24 hours notice. Need I say that it was never on their website of the location we are staying at, nor was it printed and posted anywhere in the lobby, at the check-in desk, elevator, or the room. Compromise was and I quote " I'll have house keeping up there today at six PM". Came back from dinner at seven PM only to find the room not serviced. No fresh towels, no coffee, no toilet paper, no trash removed, no vacumed carpet, no mopped floors, no toilet cleaned, and no fresh linens. Call down to the front desk and the duty manger "Chris" was upstairs within 10 minutes with some coffee, cups, towels, and the ever important and life saving toilet paper. Chris immediately took ownership of the situation and asked what would be the best time torrow (Thursday) to have our room service. Chris gets five stars for taking ownership of a problem that was not his doing. Andrea gets zero (0) stars, and the hotel gets an overall score of 2.5. Not pleasant experience for two seasoned world travellers. Breakfast on site was 5 stars each and every day.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for your comments regarding your recent stay.

Please know that we take all comments seriously--we do apologize for the situation that arose with the communication that took place with our staff that came in late afternoon regarding the cleaning of your room. Unfortunately, due to the fact that we have not been able to return to the staffing level pre-COVID, servicing a room must be a 24-hour notice to ensure we have staff available.

If your travels bring you back to Chattanooga, please reach out to me directly for your lodging needs.

-Andrea

We had tons of stains on pullout couch and makeup smears on door. The pool burned our eyes immediately and could only stay for a few minutes BUT it is a great location. I would look into one of the newer hotels when we go back to Chattanooga.

A great location for the Tennessee Aquarium, restaurants, baseball, and other downtown activities. Friendly staff and the rooms were very clean and the hotel appears well managed. We have stayed here before and will stay again.

We had planned to stay at the Hampton inn & suites but their pool was closed for repairs which was a huge disappointment for us. Thankfully with help from a wonderful front desk lady, Lana, we switched to this hotel which is only a block from the other one. Although very busy, Lana helped us with the rate, and got us the same type room we had at Hampton. The pool at the Garden Inn is smaller, but had a hot tub which was great. Just like everywhere else, they are struggling to hire enough employees with business picking up, but every worker we saw was friendly and helpful in spite of being extra busy. Courtney at the front desk was very helpful in helping us arrange the pick up of our rented mobility scooter. Location is great for Aquarium, restaurants and shops. We would stay again

Room wasn’t cleaned probably. Trash under the beds, cabinets clearly had water damage and was busted. Very outdated. I expect nicer rooms from a Hilton. Lobby area was really nice. Wish I could say the same for the rooms.

Rooms and hallways were dirty. Mold in showers. Beds had stains on sheets and covers. Only 3 towels with a family of four.Pool was very unclean and it would burn your eyes just being in the room. Not worth the money at all.
