Bluff View Inn

The location of the Inn was excellent. It was not quite the Art District we were expecting. We were hoping for a diverse art community but we did not find it. Our room had the roof of another building in our line of sight and a small section of the river. The room itself was lovely, very clean and well maintained. Please remember there are no elevators. Breakfast was a bit strange. When we arrived we checked in at one of the houses that had a room with table cloths set and an adjacent room that seemed to have a buffet table. We were given vouchers for the bakery shop with a list of what we could use it for. Neither my husband nor I eat a big breakfast, the bagel and croissant would have been enough and cost less then the voucher allowance. A hearty breakfast sandwich was allowed but not the a la carte bagel or croissant. Our workaround was to have a breakfast sandwhich on the bread of our choice but asked for it be decomposed. In all fairness the bakery offerings looked fabulous, what we had was excellent. We got our cup of coffee and went to the lovely sitting area where we were served our breakfast. Although we did do a bit of driving around the beautiful area, we came back to our room early but found the channels on the TV numerous but not what we wanted. Nothing streaming. Of course, we did have books with us. We got an email asking if we wanted to eat at Tony's the Italian restuarant on the property. We made the reservation and we happy we did, it was quite crowded. It is very casual, lots of families, and the food is good.

Outstanding and supportive innkeepers! Wonderful Sunday breakfast buffet with fresh pastry from Rembrandts bakery and coffee shop.

My husband and I stayed at the lovely Martin House in a large clean room with a desk and two comfortable chairs. The bathroom was large as well and well equipped. Upon booking, we expected to have breakfast in the Maclellan House across the street. When checking in at the Maclellan House, we saw tables set and what appeared to be set ups for a breakfast on a large dining table. Much to our surprise, we were given breakfast vouchers for a coffee house around the corner. We had 4 choices for breakfast and one cup of either coffee or hot tea. Getting breakfast required standing in line to order at the coffee house. We had to sit outside with barking dogs, and the food was delivered to our table. Fortunately it was a nice warm day. When checking out, we were told that there were not enough guests in the houses to serve breakfast in the Maclellan house. For what we paid for the B&B, not serving breakfast as expected was very disappointing. We will not return to the property or recommend it to our friends.

Perfect stay, loved the historical setting and the location in the Arts District. Great experience at a B&B.

Very well decorated room. Great view of the Tennessee river from room. The bathtub/ shower and bed mattress needs to be updated or replace.

Really neat place to stay. Very friendly service and super comfortable room in a historic home overlooking thre Tennessee river.

Perfect accommodation in the historic arts district. Perched above the river, steps from the art museum and the pedestrian bridge across the river.

This B&B experience was extremely disappointing. It was meant to be a birthday surprise for my husband, and it was clearly a surprise to pay $350 for what was suppose to be their best room. We frequent many B&Bs, and this was clearly the worst yet. We received a voucher for a cafe across the street. We could order coffee or tea and a breakfast sandwich with a choice of bread and cheese. Really? We love B&Bs, and we always anticipate who we will meet at breakfast sharing our stories and enjoying a beautiful breakfast. That's what makes a B&B a wonderful B&B! The mattress was horrible. The bathroom wasn't the least bit inviting with minimal essentials. The hairdryer didn't function properly either. I was taken back by the owners reaction to good reviews. It's hardly good business acumen when the owner doesn't respond to a poor review. We left very early in the morning. It wasn't pleasant, and no one seemed to care that we were guests. We would never recommend this place nor would we return. The only nice thing we can say is there was a good view of the river. This was a room rental. It is not a B&B.

A little Utopia exists here full of quaint gorgeous buildings. This was the perfect hotel traveling with toddlers across the country. The blocks owned by this family are very safe for walking and families and absolutely interesting & gorgeous. We really enjoyed our after dinner stroll through all the blocks & nooks and crannies and alley ways and the beautiful short walk adjacent to the Hunter Museum on way to the Walnut Pedestrian Bridge. I’m usually very nervous with toddlers & bridges but this was so safe and charming on a Friday night about 10pm. We saw lots of families and ice cream and fireworks from the stadium. There was no trash on the streets of downtown Chattanooga or homeless or smokers blowing smoke in our face. That was very nice. I was so impressed with Chattanooga. We booked the Morgan Suite in the main house as I’m a terribly light sleeper and I hoped the top floor and quiet street would be quiet and it was. I loved that they supplied a small fan in the closet. I plugged it in case I heard any street noise yet I didn’t hear anything all night. Hotel room is huge and my toddlers loved the large living room and balcony facing the river and the bedroom. I liked that it had a door to close and shut off. I slept so great here and the closet was huge my toddlers tried to sleep in there playing house which was too funny. Bathroom was nice and all the decor was so quaint and I loved the paint color in all the rooms. I was so surprised by all the previous reviews complaining about piddly stuff in my opinion. If I were staying at a mainstream hotel this size room and quality with separate living quarters would be $$$$. I was very pleased to pay $300 for this room. The same room at a Hilton would be $900 and also the Ritz would be $2000. I definitely think people picking on weird small stuff in thier reviews thought they were paying $2000 to stay at a Ritz. My toddlers even loved the bathroom in the lobby as there were two cozy chairs there for them to sit and wait on me. The main reason we booked this on the weekend was the breakfast buffet on the weekends. We were the first there at 8am and the eggs, sausage & yogurt were so good. The nice lady working the buffet helped me and my toddlers get drinks often OJ & water and coffee and she helped us get whatever we wanted. We left a $20 tip she was so helpful and made our breakfast so nice. She even let us refreeze our freezer packs for our cooler in the freezer in the kitchen. My husband said the biscuits were the best he has eaten in a long time and the scones and muffins were fantastic we had to take one for the road. I’m gluten free and I was surprised when I asked the keeper went to the bakery across the street to get me 3 gluten free muffins. They were so delicious and a pleasant surprise as I’m used to going without so many times. I will stay here again next year on our yearly voyage to a summer house. I wish all the towns were as nice and gorgeous as Chattanooga. Also it was ver
