Hotels Near Food Lion in East Ridge

This hotel was AMAZING - what a unique experience. We stayed in a renovated TRAIN CAR which was absolutely one of the most interesting rooms I have ever stayed in. Absolutely loved it - and location is absolutely perfect. The customer service was also FANTASTIC (I left my glasses, and they shipped them back to me one day later) - you don't get this type of service in a typical hotel. Charm of a boutique hotel with the amenities of a more established hotel - the experience simply cannot be beat.

This hotel is in proximity to restaurants and stores if you don't want to be downtown. The breakfast is delicious and the common areas are well-kept. The rooms are clean on the surface, but there were cobwebs and mold. Do not expect service when it comes to your room. The first night upon going to bed (10pm at the latest), we found a soiled spot, not a stain, on our duvet. When we called downstairs we were told we would have to come down to get a clean one as there was only 1 person working. When towels were requested after the 2nd night we were told the same. We saw people on the elevator hauling linens up in trash bags. We had to take our trash to a receptacle. After the third night we asked for a cleaning, as policy states, and told it would be done. It wasn't. I realize things are different due to Covid but the lack of service was disappointing.

I stayed at this location of Homewood suites in Chattanooga, Tennessee. During my stay staff we're good except one person. The breakfast person named Sharon whom isn't nice, heard other people say how they won't eat breakfast when she is there. The only time I felt comfortable to get breakfast is when the other breakfast person named Stephanie was there. Stephanie is great, great personality, nice smile. But on August 13 during the social I got for myself three plates of different items. One plate was two slices of pizza, 2nd plate had salad and croutons, 3rd plate had cubed cheese and cookie. I took it to the room and my Ada companion forgot his plate of two slices of pizza so I went back down to get it and all of a sudden after grabbing a plate I felt a slap on my right arm, thought it was my Ada companion, nope it was Sharon, after physically assaulting me she proceeded to tell me that ”you can't have anymore food as you've already had 3 plates”. I'm a diabetic and should never be told by some stranger I can't have food. She's not related in any form and she's not paying my bills so she had no right to tell me what to do. And I've had a heart attack and spinal Stenosis and Tourette Syndrome. I thought it was illegal for a hotel staff to hit a guest, a disabled one at that. I reported it and nothing was ever done about it. I never again went downstairs to get breakfast on the days Sharon was there as I didn't feel comfortable being around her and didn't go downstairs for the days the social was as I didn't feel like putting up with being hit again and being told I can't get food cause she has to feed other guests. I worked for Hampton and I know you don't touch a guest at all and you don't tell a guest what to do as in when they are getting food. Not sure what she's thinking but thought something would be done about how she physically assaulted me and told me I can't get food when I'm a diabetic. She caused me mental anguish and stress. And also when they had the social I got a cup of liquid that had an unknown substance without a label and as they had beer I was assuming it was Wine. So I was smelling it to see if I could identify what it was and Sharon Chimes in ”Why are you smelling it when it's just Tea” what's it any of her business why I am smelling it. Pictured was my plates that Sharon thought were 3 plates of pizza. Like I said unless Sharon wants to pay all my bills from now on then yeah but otherwise she has no right to tell me anything and needs to mind her own business. Also at this hotel disabled people have no rights and they think it's okay for a staff member to physically assault a disabled person as myself. Been discriminated against disability at this property and physically assaulted that caused me mental anguish and stress and heart attack symptoms as I've already had one in the past. Nice to see that disabled people have no rights and it's okay to tell a disabled person/diabetic you can't get food. And for Sharon

I wish there were more stars than 5 to give for this hotel. We had an exceptional experience. This was one of the cleanest hotels I have stayed. The front desk solved a problem for us and went above and beyond during our stay. We are a school group and I had worked with someone over the phone about the rooms we needed. I emailed the day before arrival and assumed all was well. Upon arrival the front desk had just heard of our group coming and didn’t have the rooms. I am not sure where the breakdown occurred but this people worked like super hero’s to accommodate us. They went above and beyond in service. I would not hesitate to stay here!

The American breakfast is almost the same. The hotel is in a good location, with dining and parking. Marriott's hotels are better than general hotel chains, and it is more convenient to drive to tourist attractions.

We have stayed at this property every year for the past several years. We come to town for the Valentine's Dinner Train. The staff has been pleasant and helpful. The morning breakfast staff does an excellent job. The room was clean and comfortable.

I chose this hotel due to it being very close to the airport (CHA) ten minute drive. I've stayed at other Sleep Inns and the room we had was smaller and only offered a Queen size bed. They offer a free breakfast starting at 6 am but as of 6:30 am there wasn't much to choose from. Nothing hot, even the coffee. Shower door didn't ”latch' closed but no water spilled out though. Plenty of hot water and fresh towels daily. Heater/ AC worked great, bed was okay. Ice machine broken on 3rd floor, wifi was good but be sure to ask for the guest password then restart your phone to connect. This hotel is not in the nicest part of town but plenty of stores close by including Interstate 75. Attractions, Ruby falls, Rock city, Lookout mountain , Incline railroad are close by, 15 minute drive. Gatlinburg about 2 1/2 hour drive. Overall it's not bad. Felt safe and quiet place. We were gone seeing the sites most of the days so if your looking to save money ,close to the airport/attractions this may be fine for you. Just don't expect anything special.

Free breakfast is great! Rich in content, cereals, bread, cakes, scrambled eggs, beef patties, coffee, milk, fruits, etc., although Western food, also eat full. The rooms are small and the facilities are simple but clean and tidy. You can also stay with a 14-year-old child. It takes ten minutes to eat and supermarket, and parking is free.
