Delta Queen Hotel

Stayed Nov 2013 - very historical! What's Great - Views, Freedom to check out the boat, Very safe, The AREA! (Chattanooga really does it right!) What's Okay - The Bed, The Breakfast, the fact there is no TV in your room, and the staff. What's Bad - Parking, Privacy, No tub (barely a shower) & Water really needs to be filtered. If you like history, fresh air, walking to VERY close & VERY NICE shopping & restaurants you're gonna love this! We stayed in the room where Captain Greene died, but no ghost visit. Don't expect the temperature to be what you need, so pick Spring or Fall, and you'll be going up & down steps. We loved it!

I'd go out of my way to stay here again! It's a unique and hugely historic boat (visited by three presidents and used in WW2), and completely fascinating to stay on. We stayed under a promotional price (most rooms for $89), and ended up in a stateroom. It's not much bigger than the bed, and wasn't particularly warm. The charm and decor of the place more than make up for the lack of modern-ness! Breakfast in the morning was a large buffet of pancakes and eggs. One of the best nights in our trip!

We enjoyed out stay on the Delta Queen. The staff was so nice and I love the history of the boat. Inside everything was nice and clean, the outside could use more attention to spider webs in the corners and such, but we understood it is an old vessel. The swings and rockers on the decks are charming, the view on the riverside is lovely. I would suggest they put some extra blankets in the rooms, it did get cool at night, they kept the AC running and there was no way to adjust it in the room we were in. We stayed on the main floor, however, I did notice the upper floors had window units, so one might consider asking for one of them if they don't like the room chilly at night. Overall, it was great - the breakfast buffet was plentiful but unlike the rooms, the dining room didn't have AC running, and the windows were open. No major complaints, we'd go again!
