I am going to the Chattanooga area Feb 8-10th.

We are either going to go with the 3* in Chattanooga (which appears to be the holiday inn)

OR

We are thinking about booking a 3* through HOTWIRE in the lookout mountain area - but im not sure which hotels those might be. I did not see any posts on that area - does anyone have any insight?

Also - I noticed 2 hotels available on priceline for the same area - but no bid advice either.

Any experience on the lookout mountain area?

All hotels reported to the board would be found in the corresponding Hotwire Hotel List or Priceline Hotel List.

Is there a specific hotel you're seeing via HOTWIRE in the Lookout Mountain area that we may be able to help identify?

Do you mean thru priceline's "retail product" (where the name of the hotel is shown and the price given)

On hotwire - there is a 3* located in lookout mountain. It has:
complimentary breakfast
fitness center
pool(s)
Laundry facilities

It is currently selling for $79 / night.


On priceline you are unable to big on a 4 star.

Priceline retail offers the Mariott Chattanooga Convention for 124, and the Sheraton Read House for 139 / night - however these both appear to be in the downtown chattanooga area, as when I try to do a name your own price on priceline, the 3 star option is greyed out unless I select downtown chattanooga as an area to stay.

These two pieces of information make me question whether the 3 star on hotwire is really in lookout mountain, or is it really just one of the downtown hotels.

Is there another route I should be looking at? Is this enough information to help deduce which hotels would be likely from hotwire?

Also - with priceline and hotwire - is there any method to determine if you will get a king, 2 queens, or 2 double beds? We would like to split a room with a friend, but his height (6'4) requires him to stay in a queen bed, so splitting a room would only be possible if we could get 2 queens.

Any insight is greatly appeciated, and if I book I will certainly use the links from this site.

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ regarding using the retail version to determine 'name your own price' results.

The hotel will be anywhere within the shaded region that you select, given that Lookout Mountain and Downtown are two different zones, if you select Lookout Mountain than the hotel will be in the Lookout Mountain zone (although note the boundaries of how the zone is defined, as it can sometimes be different than the 'city limits').

This property has not yet been identified, but my best guess would be that this is the Country Inn and Suites.

No, you can't choose the bedding configuration. See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ for a further discussion.

If you go with the HOTWIRE hotel above please use our link to begin your purchase. If you decide to go with priceline let us know and we'll suggest a stratety to follow.

Any questions feel free to ask.

We ended up booking through HOTWIRE for a 3* for 78 bucks. We ended up getting the chattanooga choo choo.

While reviews werent great we found it to be a nice location.
