Water mysteriously running & Door wide open after we returned from dinner. I was terrified and wanted to check out & check in at the Hampton up the road. Should have followed my instincts when I first arrived I'll never forget waking up from a nightmare I had in this room. The worst hotel I've ever stayed at.

First, we called for reservations and we talked to someone that was not very smart. He said they only made reservations one week prior to a stay and I was told at first that I could not make reservations because I was calling more than a week prior to our, my wife and I's, stay. Once I got that straight,... More

I seldom or never pay $36 plus tax for a motel room. I travel 100 nights a year and average $100 + per stay. However, I make an exception when I come to Cookeville. I've stayed at the Alpine Lodge 3 or 4 times over the years and find it is a clean, quiet, peaceful place to stay. My stay... More

The hotel was exceedingly over-priced. At nearly $150.00 a night, this "cabin" was highly overrated, and the advertising was purposefully false and misleading.... More

I love this quaine, old style motel. Built around 1930, it has maintained the charm of the early motels. With only a dozen rooms, it's a quiet retreat at the base of Racoon Mountain, just to the west of Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. The rooms are small, and have the original knotty pine wood paneling inside. Many of the rooms... More

On the web, the Alpine Lodge seems so much better than it is. It is described as quaint, lovely, a comfortable resort-like getaway. We booked a room for two nights (at $140 per night) based on this description. For that price, we were supposed to have a hottub and fireplace in the room, a private carport, a balcony overlooking Racoon... More
