8.2/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
Modern, great shower, new comfy furniture. We thought it was an indoor pool so they should specify it is outdoors.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,004 reviews)
This hotel/motel is adorable!!! If I ever go back to Chattanooga I will absolutely stay again. My only concern would be parking, it is extremely small and a bit difficult to maneuver around. Other than that. Our stay was perfect.

2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
Too few animals, small exhibits. Worth sepnding time somewhere else
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
If you're military you can get in super cheap but beware it's pretty small and try to go during the summer. Everything we saw was sleeping or cold.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
The zoo was small not even as big as the zoo in Nashville,but they do have the animals that the Nashville zoo don’t have..parking is the worst,we have to park on the street and walk for 10 minutes to get to the zoo...
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
This is a small zoo but we saw some wonderful animal behavior there. We saw their crane do a mating dance. It was fantastic. The female didnt seem too impressed. Also, the chimps were grooming each other in a very elaborate manner. The zoo is easily doable in two hours and we found it charming despite its somewhat dinkiness.
