“Great Location, Haphazard Amenities”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The Bluff View Inn is the heart of the Bluff View Arts District. It is perfectly located near the Hunter Art Museum and across the footbridge from the eclectic Northshore neighborhood. Unfortunately, the Inn's amenities and customer care don't rise to the level of the great location. Each hotel room has complementary locally roasted coffee and a Kuerig coffee machine (good). Unfortunately the coffee machine in my $280 per night suite was full of old coffee grounds and stale water from a prior guest (Not good). The Inn is located near several affiliated restaurants/cafes (Good). Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 restaurants don't take reservations and there is no priority seating for hotel guests. (Not good.) This means that despite being a hotel guest I had to wait almost one hour to get a table. Moreover, despite being a hotel guest and not getting a "first available" table until 8:30 PM, there was no apology, consideration, or even complementary item for my inconvenience. As a guest of the Inn, I expect better. The Inn does offer some room/restaurant packages, but these assume you're traveling as a couple and I am traveling alone. I would stay here again to enjoy the neighborhood, but would book one of the economy rooms. At almost $300 for a suite, the hotel is unable to fulfill my expectations for a highend hotel experience.

“My medication went missing while my daughter was getting married downstairs.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010

person found this review helpful

My prescription pain medication was stolen from my purse while I was attending my daughters wedding downstairs. Bluff View Inn hasn't bothered to return my calls or respond to my email. A police report was filed. The officer I talked to wasn't at all surprised that the only thing taken was the pain medication. BTW -I would not have returned to Bluff View Inn due to the rudeness of the lady when we checked in. We were next in line when the visitor behind us rudely jumped ahead of us because "she just needs to grab her key so she can go lay down". The attendant actually allowed this to happen and waited on her first!!! Unbelievable! Do yourself a big favor and stay away.

“Very Cute”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

This bed and breakfast was a great place to stay. Run a little more like a hotel than your average B&B. Not a lot of interaction with the owners and had multiple owners rather than the traditional couple owned place. This was a really fun place to stay and the views were great. I would try to get a room on the river side of the hotel. We stayed in the suite and it was very nice but were disappointed about the lack of good window views. The best views were from a small deck that had not been cleaned of cobwebs etc. Overall, despite my comments here our stay was really wonderful. It is located in the wonderful Historic Art District which adds to the stay. Overall a great experience and I would definitely suggest staying here, just be picky about your room location!

“Fantastic Art Lovers's Package”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

We had a great time staying at the Bluff View Bed and Breakfast. Included in this package was a gift certificate for $75.00 which we used as the Back Inn Cafe. We got two free tickets to the art museum, complementary breakfast at Rembrant's Coffee House. The room was nice and comfortable and I felt very safe. Would recommend this B&B experience to anyone visiting Chattanooga.
