The hotel is located off an interstate, making it an easy base for exploring Chattanooga by car. Downtown Chattanooga, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and the Creative Discovery Museum are all within a short 5-minute drive. The immediate area is not pedestrian-friendly, but the well-lit parking lot offers ample free spaces, and a new grocery store is just 1 km away. The surrounding neighborhood has a mixed character, but the property itself is considered a safe and convenient stop for travelers.

All rooms come with a private bathroom, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Several room types are available, including double queen suites with a sofa bed, which offer extra space for families. Some rooms feature a refrigerator and microwave, and one room type includes a jacuzzi tub. The beds are consistently described as comfortable, and the property is noted for being surprisingly quiet despite its proximity to the interstate. The overall feel is modern, clean, and practical, with recent renovations adding to the comfort.

The breakfast offerings include a rotating selection of hot items like eggs, sausage, and bacon, along with make-your-own waffles, toast, bagels, muffins, yogurt, and cereal.

The breakfast room is kept neat and clean, with staff working to keep items stocked. For other meals, there is no on-site restaurant, but several dining options are within a short drive, such as KFC, a local brewery, and a cigar bar.

The seasonal outdoor pool is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00 and is surrounded by sun loungers and a safety fence. The pool area is considered a nice bonus, though it can be small.
