Such a beautiful place with so much history. Great location and service! VERY comfortable bed and pillows (coming down a very picky person) Would highly recommend. Only negatives were the room being very dimly lit and the type of coffee maker in the room

Staying in a train car was something I’ve wanted to do for 50 years! So we finally did! The car was beautiful and nostalgic. Just was a poor time of year, bitter cold, and the heat in the car was not sufficient. We were freezing. Even though the thermostat said 79, it was more like 58. Thankfully we only planned one night.

The MacArthur is not worth the money if you go during the cold season. Froze all night first night to see they left us extra heaters under shelving. Then on second night the main heating system stopped working noticed at 3:30 when I was frozen with the heaters. These things are iceboxes and they can keep the heater working. Checked out and won’t be back

The hotel was cute and clean. It served its purpose for what we needed. Parking and room access was good, vibe was great too. The staff was really friendly as well. Now for the not so great parts… The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable and our room wasn’t cleaned after the first night (we stayed 2 nights). The water pressure was also so hard, it made you feel like your skin was gonna get ripped off. We tried to move into a train car room for the 2nd night but in addition to paying the difference in room prices, they wanted to charge us an additional $125 upgraded charge, so we stayed in our room.

Hotel has unique art deco rooms which reminded me of decor on train sleeper cars of last century. Rooms were spacious & comfortable & staff was friendly & helpful. Great location in downtown Chattanooga. We stayed over Christmas so it probably wasn’t as busy as usual but decorations all around were beautiful. Will definitely book here again when in Chattanooga!
