The hotel is a good solid choice but it is truly a 3 star hotel with slightly above average rooms. The hotel lobby is very nice but the hotel is older. Luckly it has been reworked. My wife and family spent a week here so we have a pretty good feel for the staff and overall quality of this hotel. I spend a lot of time at hotels a year (20 to 50 nights) so I have a good feel for quality and service. The front desk quality is robotic and not that friendly. I believe that this is a direct relationship to the management philosophy since their attitude could be much more helpful. We all know the feeling of a staff that really cares. You can't fake caring. Then again, a clean room, great location, and price are more important to me.

Now to the details. The pool area is nice and the kids loved it even though my wife and I were not happy that the spa was closed for repair. Funny thing, we never seen anybody working on the spa in 7 days. So when are they actually going to fix it? My quess is whenever they want. I kind of worry that there are other things not being done since this area had no work done in 7 days.

The rooms had GOOD bedding and good quality. The TV was the standard TV, no Plasma or LCD that most upscale hotels nowadays have. Our room had a balcony and it is small and not worth the price if you opt for it. It came with our deal. For under a $100 a night the deal is quite good and the AREA is really a nice place with plenty of things to do and good places to eat. The next exit has PF Changs (good chinese food) and down the road is some excellent Mexican and Seafood at Papadeux. I was thinking that since I was in the south that people would be a little more nice but this was not the case overall. By the way, the girls at the coffee shop were always great and as the one other reviewer stated should work the front counter. Overall, we were happy with ours stay and I can easily recommend this place because it was CLEAN (housekeeping was good) and was a fair price for what you get along with a really great location for ease of travel. Also, they want $10 a night to put a fridge and microwave in your room. Should be standard. Also, another pay for internet place. I hate pay for internet at hotels. It seems the more you pay the less chance you have of getting free internet. The cookies are great but I would prefer free internet.

Prepare to be treated avererage and sleep well. Also plan on not drinking in the bar unless you want to get gouged. I know that this hotel is listed as a top 10 hotel in Atlanta but I truly doubt this is true. It could be a top 10 deal though if you get it for under $100.

Nice rooms, clean, very comfortable beds. Good complimentary coffee/tea setup in room. Terrible selection for television channels, only one that was even semi for children. Sweet girl working the coffee bar, good coffee. With a milk protein allergy, I was excited to see the sign on the back of the register that said they had soy milk, but for both mornings, they were out. Couldn't complain, though, as the coffee was complimentary as a Hilton Honors bonus, and as I said, very nice girl working. Need a couple more computers in their business center for internet access. Great area for lots of food choices, near to malls, etc., great interstate access. The one thing that would have put us over the top, but lowers our opinion was the front desk staff didn't seem to be able to manage a smile, or anything more than a perfunctory response, or in any way that they were glad to have our business. They should move the coffee girl to the front desk!!!!!

Our stay was great. We stayed Dec 22-26, 2007. Due to the holiday the hotel was pretty empty. Therefore there was no buffet breakfast. Room service was still available. The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff was very attentive. The first night our heat went out and the night manager came to our room to help us pack and move our belongings across the hall to a new room. The only small problem we experienced was an unclean mini refrigerator, but that was corrected swiftly as well. The location was near the highway and it was easy to get to downtown ATL. It was centrally located to other restaurants and malls. If you have a chance, check out Pappadeux's. It was delicious!

I recently had a one night stay with my wife and some friends while on our way down to Fla. for the holidays. I stay at several hotels year round for business and otherwise and this was the hidden gem for me this year. The service was absolutely outstanding. All of the employees were very pleasant and accomodating. The rooms were well appointed and had great beds. The lobby area features an espresso bar, which was great in the morning and also a beatiful lounge and restaurant. We did get a chance to eat at the restaurant, which was well priced with ok food. The breakfast was very reasonable and very tasty. I think if you're considering this hotel for business and or a brief stopover in the Atlanta area, you couldn't beat it...especially for $70/night. Probably not the spot for a romantic getaway, though.
