Here's a directory of comfortable lodging (hotel rooms and extended stay suites) where you may reside while you're attending courses at the NATIONAL STROKE INTERVENTION TRAINING CENTER located at the Erlanger Southeast Regional Stroke Center, Chattanooga, TN. All are just a few minutes drive from downtown Chattanooga. Some of the facilities offer discounts to guests with Erlanger related businesses.
