Nightlife Options

This isn't a party hotel, but that's part of the appeal for some. If you're looking to keep the night going, head into downtown Chattanooga (about 15–20 minutes by car) for bars, lounges, and live music venues. For a quieter scene, unwind poolside or chill in your room with cable TV.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, affordable place to crash after the show, Motel 6-East Ridge TN delivers exactly what you need—no more, no less.
