The snow that blanketed Chattanooga Sunday night and has hung around throughout the week has had a mixed effect on downtown Chattanooga hotels.
Several hotel officials said their properties had increases in occupancy rates, especially Monday and Tuesday, but the winter weather has caused massive cancellations for others.
Tanya Gray, guest services manager at the Days Inn Rivergate on Carter Street, said the hotel lowered its prices for local businesses and mainly downtown workers staying at the site on Monday and Tuesday.
“It has been a little busy,” she said. “A lot of different local companies and things like that, who have to be at work, have been here.”
Business began to slow as the roads were cleared Wednesday, and things were mostly back to normal by Thursday, Gray said.
