    Here is where the wall is open at the ceiling. The space on the other side can't be locked from other guests.

    The staff here was very friendly. We enjoyed a tour of the house with some history when we first arrived. My husband booked this for our 16 year anniversary talking up how it was in the top places to stay in Chattanooga. Room 34 apparently used to be where people lived that ran the B&B at one point. Instead of being a historical 1800s experience it was more of a poorly maintained 1990s apartment. That was pretty disappointing. I haven't found any marketing photos of this space, so be aware. The fire exit is through this room so you can not lock your door. Basically, there is a common area and then a small room where your bed is that does have a key for it, but the walls making this space are open at the ceiling. Basically, I worried anyone could come through at anytime. The staff did put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door that can't be locked and said people would stay out. No one encroached on our space, but I worried about it the entire time. When you are getting away for a couple's weekend you don't want to be worried about people walking in. I can get that experience at home for free. The bed does not have a headboard it's just a mattress and box doing on a metal frame. There is a built in bookshelf above the bed, so don't sit up to quickly or you will wack yourself. I have shared two photos of the bed and where the bed space is open to the public area at the ceiling. The shower water ran inconsistently. If you are a lady with thick hair, I recommend dry shampoo as your washing option. Little water pressure is present, but that my be part of the old house experience?? Morning breakfast was a fun experience. You get several courses and it's enjoyable to see the other guests. The food wasn't great. The second morning we went out for breakfast. If you are staying several nights, maybe try breakfast at the house one morning and try some other local places another morning. Overall, if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in room 34 and are okay with your space being a fire exit you can still spend time in the other parts of this historic building. The evening snacks my be enough to help you enjoy the space more. I'm pretty sure you would be happy with any other room in this place.

    This may be the grandest old home converted to a B&B I ever stayed. All the wallpaper and woodwork is original. The two seating rooms are beautiful. The front porch is really unusual with a round on one end for multiple chairs. The first floor doors are the tallest I ever seen. They must be at least 10' and solid wood. The morning breakfast is forgettable. The coffee, yogurt, and juice were fine. But the processed round egg thing was terrible. You go for the ambiance of the house not the food. Worth a stay. Service was very good.

    This inn is beautiful as well as the furnishings and decor inside. It's a step back in time. They had Christmas decorations up, and it looked like a Hallmark movie set. My third-floor room was very nice. It's actually split into two rooms-- the sitting room and the bedroom/bathroom. This is because the emergency exit is in the sitting room. As a result, the bedroom door does lock, but I was assured that no one would just walk in the main door unless there was an emergency. The bed was very comfortable (on the firmer side). The bathroom has a bidet (an after-market attachment to the toilet) that works well. There is a Keurig with all the necessary things for coffee and tea. There are two TVs (one in each room), and the furniture is very comfortable. Breakfast was an experience -- 3 or 4 courses brought out at just the right time. The servers are very attentive. I had egg and pepper "mini-quiches" with yogurt, a lemon muffin, and a small cup of fruit. Did I mention the servers are very attentive? Very personable and conversational as well. (Grace and Pilar stand out as servers.) As for the rest of the inn, there was a library with books and DVDs/VHS tapes to borrow, as well as a cabinet full of board games. There were complimentary soft drinks downstairs, and they have beer and spirits to purchase. I cannot recommend this BnB enough -- the cost of the room was much lower than many of the hotels you might find, and that makes this such a great value. This would be a wonderful place to stay for a romantic weekend, or you can use it as a cozy place to stay while you visit Chattanooga and its environs.

    If you are a history buff and you are in Chattanooga, treat yourself to a stay at The Mayor's Mansion Inn, Bed and Breakfast. Honestly you will feel spoiled and steeped in the rich history of this gorgeous Victorian style home. The inn keepers were knowledgeable and very helpful. They greet you with a tour of the main floor then show you to your suite. A four course Breakfast is served every morning and it was such a delightful change of pace form the typical Breakfast that we are used to today. We stayed 2 nights at the Mayor's Mansion and I wish we could have stayed longer. For me it was extra special as the land on which my 4 times Great-Grandparents lived and the Citizens Cemetery were only a tenth of a mile away. My only suggestion would be to replace the portable air conditioning unit in the Chickamauga Suite as it rattled non-stop but it would not stop us from returning to The Mayor's Mansion Inn again.

    We stayed here at my wife's insitence as I did not get back from testifying in Jasper until after 6:00. I had dropped her off at around 10:00, and I drove onto Jasper. My wife has a service dog and she was told she was the first service dog who had stayed there. She was very well taken care of. When she ordered a lunch from a nearby restaurant, the price was too little to get delivery, so the manager picked it up for her. She choose room 11 on the first floor. It may be the best room, although I did not see any others. Right outside the room is the coffee area and the coffee was very good. We bring our own cream. Was Breakfast was served insuite. It was lovely. I was a little disappointed that the corned beef was not avaiable, but the bacon and eggs were vey good. This was served with fresh orange juice, it may have been frozen but I could not tell. Fresh fruit cuo was also served. Check out was a breeze, we also bought a robe. I cannot recommend Mayor's Mansion highly enough. It is in the Fort Wood neighborhood which is certainly lovely and very pleasant to strole around.

    I'll start with the fact that the location is very convenient to the UTC campus. The Fort Wood neighborhood has some history and there are some architecturally historic gems dotting the area. It's worth getting out and walking around if you have the time. The only downside - and it's not much of one - is the area Is just a little off the path to restaurants and other attractions. Uber was our friend. The house has a lot of charm and is in good condition for its age. There are several sitting rooms and a porch on the main level that make great places to hang out with your own group or talk with other guests. We were in the Tennessee River room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The morning breakfast service was really quite elegant. The food and atmosphere were terrific. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful with no hint of stuffiness that you might expect in a place like this. We really enjoyed our visit.
