Chattanooga Antique Automobile Meet Accommodation Recommendations:
Accommodations
- No hotel accommodations have been reserved specifically for this event.
*** The Only HOTEL IN SODDY DAISY is the Hometown Inn.*** Located in beautiful
downtown Soddy-Daisy and just 5 miles from the Soules' residence, this hotel
would be the closest place for attendees to stay. The hotel is only a
couple of years old. Take a look at their web site at: http://www.hometowninnsoddydaisy.com/
Honestly, the owners are not as friendly as they should be, so you should
consider the hotels in Hixson. Call (423) 332-7755 for reservations.
Other good alternatives are: Home Away Extended Stay Hotel in Hixson (423) 643-4663 (I highly recommended the Home Away Hotel), the Holiday Inn in Hixson (423) 877-6464 or the Hampton Inn also in Hixson (423) 877-3100, Tennessee, all three are located on the north side of Chattanooga and are easily accessible from Interstate 75, 24, and Hwy 153. All would provide a good, centrally located base from which to operate. There are other accommodations readily available in the Hixson, TN, area. Please do consider making your hotel reservations as early as possible.
For a truly unique hotel alternative, I would suggest the new Delta Queen Hotel located some 23 miles south of the Meet in downtown Chattanooga. Contact them at: (423)209-2943 or email: reservations@deltaqueenhotel.com The commute from the hotel to the meet is almost all freeway (via US 27 north) and only takes about 25 minutes.
All
hotel reservations are the responsibility of each individual.

Please

All Meet participants are requested to read and follow the rules of courtesy and
agree to the terms of the
liability statement at the bottom of this sheet.
Please observe the following rules of etiquette while participating in the Meet:
1. These meets are NOT "judged shows" and derogatory comments about
attendees' cars are prohibited. Some, if not many, of the Meet participants have
driven cars that are either unrestored, original cars, cars in the process of
being restored, or daily drivers. Derogatory comments can discourage current, as
well as potential participants. We do not want to discourage anyone from
attending these Meets! If you can't say something nice, just be quiet.
2. While you will not likely find many "do not touch" signs on the cars at these Meets, some basic rules of etiquette should be observed by all
attendees: Don't sit or lean on cars. Watch your belt buckles (Belt buckles and
riveted blue jeans are not conducive to paint jobs.)
Thank you for your cooperation and have an enjoyable Meet!
LIABILITY: By entering this event, I agree to and understand that
the Tennessee Valley Region of the Walter P. Chrysler Club and/or the event
organizers, the sponsors, hosts, and/or promoters of this event, participating
clubs, their agents, employees, or club members, will not be liable or
responsible for any damages whatsoever, including but not limited to, damage to
vehicles, theft, loss of life, or accidents while traveling to and from the
event, as well as during the event. I also understand that failure to follow the
rules may result in expulsion from the event.
Please, as most of this event is held at a private residence, pets are not allowed.
Many Thanks
