1:16:43 My Final Review, Pros and Cons

This is My TOUR, Review, Exploration, etc. of the HISTORIC and QUIRKY, Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This Hotel, I just can't say how AWESOME it is!!!! It seems to be ones of those places where people either love it or hate it, and I happened to absolutely LOVE IT!!!! This place started out as a Train Station which currently serves as the Lobby, which opened in 1908, and it served as a Train Station up until 1970. In 1973, 3 Motel style buildings were built, the Terminal Station became a lobby, and ANCIENT Pullman Train Cars, that actually were once used to Transport People, are now HOTEL ROOMS, A SHOP AND A RESTAURANT!!!! At this hotel, you can LITERALLY Stay IN A FREAKIN' TRAIN CAR!!!!! I did!!!! How cool is that!?!?!?! I got to explore it, tour it and review it in this video!!!! I also got to tour a room in the 1973 MarcArthur Hotel Building that was recently renovated. This place was originally owned by Hilton, then became independent, then became a Holiday Inn, and now is Independent again. This place got it's name from the Locomotive parked in the courtyard, which I GO INSIDE in this video, and also a 1941 song by Glenn Miller. Even though 3 Hotel Buildings were built in 1973, only 1 is still hotel rooms as the other 2 have been converted into Apartment Buildings called "Passenger Flats". I LOVE How you can stay at a TRAIN CAR here, but if you don't want to, you have a regular hotel rooms in the "newer" buildings!!!! Overall, I LOVED this place and had an absolute BLAST here!!!! This place also has Checkers, Shuffleboard, and sandboxes, fountains and fish, and the lobby and hallways make you feel like you are indeed at a train station, and the lobby has so much OLD WORLD CHARM!!!! Also, the Train Cars have LUXURIOUS Old World Decor too!!!! This place has LOTS of fun amenities, good restaurants, shops, a Guitar Museum, is VERY QUIRKY and COOL, But the Good thing is, it ONLY costs $90 to stay in a regular room, and $150 to stay in the TRAIN CAR, you get SO MUCH Luxury and Character for what you pay for!!!!! With this all being said, I HIGHLY Recommend this place, and if you are in Chattanooga, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY AND BE!!! If you do choose to stay in a Train Car, the floor is uneven and the hallway is narrow, but, IT'S A TRAIN CAR!!! Also, the bathroom in my train car has cracked tile, and the blinds were messed up, and the windows are dirty and foggy which are really the only complaints I had. The room is SUPER DATED in Decor, but in a Charming way, and I LOVED the ARCHITECTURE!!! And a place being Dated DOESN'T Bother me as long as the place is clean, well maintained, the bed is comfy, and it's mostly spotless, which this place met all of that, aside from the cracked bathroom tiles, and overall, this was just a FUN and COOL Experience!!!! While the Regular Rooms were renovated, the carpet, beds, furniture, and paint were the only thing changed. The bathroom fixtures are still original, along with the blankets on the beds and the bathroom doors. With this being said, if places' being dated bothers you, you don't want to stay here, BUT, If you want a HISTORICAL Hotel with LOTS of Charm, funkiness, Quirkiness and character, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!! And let me tell you, this is DEFINITELY one of my most FAVORITE Hotels I've EVER Stayed at IN MY LIFE, and I will DEFINITELY Stay here again next time I come to Chattanooga as I do come to Chattanooga every 2 years usually. With that said, let's Explore, Tour and Review, this AMAZING, FUNKY, HISTORIC, Hotel, and my TRAIN CAR!!!!
